<p>The full-mission simulator has been built by the Canada-based CAE for Helicopter Academy to Train by Simulation of Flying (Hatsoff), a joint venture of HAL and CAE, a leader in providing simulation and integrated training solutions for the civil aviation industry.<br />"The level D certification is the highest performance rating for flight training equipment from regulators like DGCA and CAE. We will begin offering simulation-based training for improving safety, operational efficiency and mission readiness," Hatsoff chief executive Wing Commander (retd) C.D. Upadhyay said in a statement here.<br /><br />The simulator features latest roll-on/roll-off cockpit design for training to fly various types of helicopters.Hatsoff will use the utility helicopter Bell 412 for its first training programme.<br />"We will have additional cockpits for the military variant of the HAL-built Dhruv advanced light helicopter (ALH), which is in service with the Indian Air Force (IAF) and the Indian Army. Eurocopter Dauphin will be added next year," Upadhyay said.<br /><br />The Hatsoff training centre in Bangalore features multimedia classrooms, computer-based training, brief/debrief facilities and a training management system."The full-mission simulator also features a common motion system, vibration platform and a visual display system, with four cockpit modules," Upadhyay added.</p>
