State-of-the-Art FSTD's


Era Training Center | Brasil will feature two of the finest Level 6 FSTDs available anywhere, the AS350B2 and the AW139.
These FSTDs are exact cockpit replicas of the respective make and model helicopter. The instructor’s station is located behind the pilot’s seat, where varying degrees of aircraft performance, weather, time of day, geographic areas, specific scenarios and aircraft malfunctions can be simulated. The training devices have been custom made by Frasca International, Inc., a well-known provider of flight training equipment for airlines, flight schools, universities and military organizations worldwide.

When training on these advanced FSTDs, professionals will earn specific credits for flight time and maneuvers accomplished to count toward additional pilot certificates and flight-currency requirements. The Center plans to add FSTD models simulating other aircraft models in the future.

Within the Center, there are debriefing offices for each FSTD where flight lessons can be reviewed in detail, with playback of the flights to facilitate a higher level of crew understanding and proficiency. The debriefing offices use the Frasca Debriefing Station (FDS) software, which provides information on unfamiliar airports, instrument procedures and operating environments prior to flight lessons.
