Caverton Helicopters has reached an agreement with Thales of France for the supply of its reality full-flight simulator for AW139 pilot training at the company’s facility in Lagos, Nigeria
The simulator known as Reality H full-flight simulator (FFS), when installed would contribute to improving the overall safety of helicopter flights in the Nigerian and regional aviation sector.
The equipment would be installed within the brand new Caverton Flight Training Academy, built at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, Nigeria.
Caverton said the Training Centre would be next door to the future Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility, currently under development by the company, adding that this would be the first helicopter flight simulator training device (FFS) with European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Level D to be installed in Africa.
“Caverton, a key aviation and marine logistics player for the Nigerian oil and gas industry sector, aims to deliver AW139 Simulator training to pilots. This move is a key step forward in Caverton’s strategic move into flight simulation training services. They have chosen to rely on Thales’s AW139-configured Reality H Full-Flight Simulator to accomplish this ambition.
“The simulator will be installed at Caverton’s new training centre, designed to meet the increased demand for helicopter pilot training and, in particular, to eliminate the challenges experienced by many pilots aiming to obtain initial and recurrent training.
“The training centre’s ultimate aim is to improve the overall safety of helicopter flights in the Nigerian and regional aviation sector. The centre is being set up on the same site as Caverton’s brand new purpose-built Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul facility at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Ikeja, Lagos State, Nigeria,” the company explained in a statement.
It also disclosed that the Thales Reality H Full Flight Simulator is the world’s most advanced commercial helicopter simulator, and would be used to provide realistic scenario-based flight and mission training to AW139 helicopter operators in the region as well as Caverton’s own pilots and crews.
Caverton explained that the simulator would support a large range of training needs, including type rating, recurrent training and proficiency checks for both Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), including offshore missions and VIP operations to unprepared landing sites.
“It will be qualified to meet EASA Level D standard, the highest level of qualification for a simulator.
“The simulator being delivered to Caverton will enable pilots that fly AW139 twin-engine helicopters – one of the most popular helicopter platforms in Nigeria and the region– to be fully immersed in a realistic virtual environment representing Nigerian operational areas, and learn to handle a multitude of system failures and overcome very complex malfunctions should they arise in the real world. Pilots can thus train safely in high-risk mission scenarios in a range of weather conditions,” it added.
