Helicopter Rescue Hoist Trainer

Indoor helicopter rescue training. Worldwide unique simulation centre for the mountain- and air rescue teams.

Needs

The Rescue Hoist Training System is the greatest single investment for helicopter rescue operations performed under difficult conditions.

Using helicopters with integrated hoisting systems will get a large growing business within the next years.

There are a lot of missions which have to be daily solved by aircrew from:

Coast Guards
Mountain Rescue Organisations
Police and Special Forces
Naval Forces
Army
Services for offshore industries especially for oil rigs and wind power plants
Most of these jobs have to be done within shortest time and personal stress combined with high risk as well as harsh weather conditions.
Operating winching systems at helicopters require a high degree of confidence and experience

Features

Rotor Downwash Fans

Large scale fans installed on both sides of the helicopter simulate the downwash effect caused by the rotor blades. The fans can be operated independently with on/off and fan speed control as necessary for the particular training situation.

Helicopter Winch

The installed industrial grade winch system is designed for man-rated training as well as a large number of load cycles. Arrangements with a slewable beam or a versatile X-Y positioning system are available.

Helicopter Cabin

The helicopter cabin can be either an original cabin or a generic cabin, simulating different types of helicopters.

Building

The dimensions for a purpose built building require a length of 50 meters, 20 meters width and a height of minimum 20 meters.

Inside Features

Helicopter or mock-up structure which can be controlled from the floor level or from the cockpit, sound simulation, strobe lights for optical effects (turning rotor blades), video supervision of the hoisting area, communication system and training equipment like harnesses, rope systems, helmets and rescue litters.

Cable Car Evacuation

Different equipment such as chair lifts and cable cars can be installed for training of rescue operations, maintenance and repair activities. Houses are available for the training of rescue operations from roofs or balconies, and a slope with adjustable inclination for the training of rescue operations in mountain areas.
