(NSI News Source Info) March 24, 2009: Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and Canada's CAE will open a $60 million helicopter training center in Bangalore in 2010, a senior HAL executive said March 23.
The split-ownership Helicopter Academy to Train by Simulation of Flying (HATSOFF) will ultimately have enough state-of-the-art simulators to train up to 400 pilots a year, generating revenue of about $16 million, the executive said.
HATSOFF plans to offer initial, conversion, recurrent and mission training for flight and maintenance personnel. It will have multimedia classrooms, computer-based training and a training management information system.
The training center will have simulator cockpits for two variants of the HAL-built DHRUV the Bell 412, and the Eurocopter Dauphin. The full-mission simulator will be full-motion certified to Level D of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Joint Aviation Authority (JAA), the HAL executive.
