Ansat Helicopter Simulator Receives Certification from TsAGI

Kazan helicopters has received certification for the Ansat helicopter simulator by the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute named after N.E. Zhukovsky (TsAGI).

The simulator was tested for its compliance with the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Evaluated characteristics included the layout and design of the cockpit, simulation of flight and engine dynamics, controlling on ground, helicopter systems, acoustic, visual and vibration effects and navigation. The assessment result was positive.

"We consider the certification of the Ansat helicopter simulator according to ICAO standards as one of the important achievements of our company," said Managing Director of Kazan Helicopters, Yuri Pustovgarov. "Our Aviation Training Center is now waiting for the first intake of students to pass the simulator training in August 2020. The training will be organized to foreign customers: pilot training is included in the price of the helicopter in all export orders."

The cockpit and interior of the simulator are completely authentic. Instrumentation has been replaced with simulator devices, but their appearance and functionality fully correspond to the originals.

The Ansat simulator is equipped with a visualization system that provides full visibility from the pilot's seat. It can be used to reproduce two distinct areas: the city of Kazan along with the Kazan Helicopters flight test center, as well as the city of Sochi.

 A vibrating platform and audio system help to simulate the vibrational and acoustic effects of flight. Using the simulator, trained pilots will be able to maneuver the helicopter model in various conditions, including in dangerous and emergency situations.

The Aviation Training Center of Kazan Helicopters was established in 1995 and today provides courses on retraining and professional development for pilots, engineers and technical specialists. In more than 20 years it has trained almost 9,000 people.
