Bristow Helicopters

Frasca and Bristow Helicopters (Aberdeen, Scotland) have received dual qualification for their Frasca Built S92 Full Flight Simulator (FFS). The S92 FFS is the first certified helicopter device under JAA with both Level B FFS and Level III FTD approval.

The S92 FFS is being used at the Bristow Academy in Aberdeen to support training requirement for Bristow’s global fleet of S92 aircraft. A second FFS for the EC225 helicopter will be delivered in mid 2010 and will also be dual certified to the same level.

This project involved thousands of man hours of intensive research, gathering of aerodynamic system data, programming and manufacturing a high-fidelity replica of the cockpit.
