Mountainflyers Ltd. completes their Simulator Center with a qualified Airbus H125 FTD 3 from Loft Dynamics

Mountainflyers is the world‘s first Appoved Training Organisation which provides flight training on qualified virtual reality training devices. „We are particularly pleased with the recent qualification of the H125 simulator. Thanks to the ability to perform Licence and Operator Proficiency Checks on the simulator, pilots can now train specific scenarios. This will significantly reduce costs for operators and further improve aviation safety“, underlines Christoph Graf, CEO and owner of Mountainflyers Ltd.

Mountainflyers developed several courses to enhance pilot competencies. The module “train untrained emergency situations” enables pilots to experience and train emergencies they cannot train on the real helicopter. Avoiding and handling Inadvertent Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IIMC) trains pilots in decision making and facing difficult weather situations. Basic students can learn manoeuvres more efficiently on the simulator to apply them later in the real helicopter. “As this training method is more efficient, our students not only fly more safely but also save money and time”, Christoph Graf explains.

Since 1980 Mountainflyers stands for pilot training at the highest level. Over the years, we have been able to continuously expand our training spectrum, most recently with the integration and qualification of Loft Dynamic’s new VR training device. Today, Mountainflyers is one of the few independent helicopter companies in Switzerland, which simultaneously ensures an extensive training organisation as well as commercial flights operations. Mountainflyers is certified and recognized by the Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). www.mountainflyers.ch
