The helicopter simulator was delivered in April 2009 and is now ready for training.

The LCT also provides the US Army with new image-generator technology that enables more realistic “out-of-the-window” scenes in real time.

The full-mission, high-fidelity flight simulator supports battalions by providing pilots with ample opportunity to meet their training needs and rehearse missions.

It is currently deployed worldwide and used for in-theatre training in Afghanistan and Iraq.
