RotorSky have added an EASA qualified FTD to its fleet of training devices to be operated at their headquarters at Linz international airport, the simulator received initial qualification for FTD 1 from Austro control.

The simulator was defined by RotorSky to deliver highest quality training for NVIS and to meet the requirements given by EASA PART-SPA. Together with the recommended training syllabus, which was developed by RotorSky, operators can now receive proficiency training for their pilots to be ready for NVIS operations.

Together with the syllabus, which was developed by most experienced and international recognized expert, an ideal training solution for NVG was created.”
