Russian Helicopters’ subsidiary Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant has introduced a new simulator for the Mil Mi-171 military transport helicopters.

Originally manufactured by the Russian Center for Scientific and Technical Services Dinamika (CSTS Dinamika), the simulator is based on a real Mi-171 helicopter cabin and features identical onboard systems to provide highly realistic training to the pilots and aircrew.

"The simulator is based on a real Mi-171 helicopter cabin and features identical onboard systems to provide highly realistic training to the pilots and aircrew."

Primarily intended to provide training on a complete range of flying and navigational skills in all weather conditions, the flight trainer can also be used to train crews on how to respond during aircraft or equipment failure and other emergency situations.

The company has already provided training to Chinese helicopter operators using the simulator at Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant Helicopter Training Complex (HTC) in Russia.

Based on testing of the Mi-171 helicopter by the company engineers and pilots in mid-2012, the training exercises were kept as realistic as possible.
