A field study commissioned by Loft Dynamics for EASA demonstrated the effectiveness of the sling load simulator. After training on the simulator, pilots could fly sling loads in real helicopters using a 20-meter rope without intervention from the instructor.
Revolutionizing pilot training
“Our simulator provides an exact replication of the helicopter and load behavior, even below a speed of 30 knots. It’s essential for pilots to see the load in the electrically adjustable mirror and be able to look down vertically to position the cargo precisely. These are the core techniques for HESLO training, and our VR simulator replicates them more realistically than ever before.
It is incredibly challenging to accurately simulate HESLO, and it’s even more challenging to exceed rigorous regulatory standards. We’re proud of this accomplishment and look forward to developing and qualifying more training solutions that not only enhance pilot proficiencies, but are also accessible to a growing number of pilots and operators around the world.”
