Whether you’re a complete novice or a seasoned pro looking to test your pilot skills, Flyit’s extremely realistic Professional Helicopter Simulators can help you log countless hours of airtime in a safe and cost-efficient manner. From the two-person cockpit, you’ll look head on at a PC-controlled screen, programmed to simulate 24,000 airports and a wide range of weather conditions. The software provides an accurate flight model including translational lift, ground effect, torque, and auto-rotation.
As a standard feature you can select instrument panels configured to replicate MD, Bell, Robinson, Enstrom and Schweizer model helicopters. And if your helicopter isn’t one of the models on the list Flyit will replicate your chopper’s cockpit for an additional cost.
The entire helicopter simulator is supplied in an 18’ trailer as a totally self-contained system, and the price starts at $105,000.
