Pacific Sky Aviation’s new Twin Otter flight simulator was recently certified by both the European Aviation Safety Agency and the Civil Aviation Administration of China, following Transport Canada’s certification of the simulator last December. The simulator was installed in Pacific Sky Aviation’s Calgary location. The simulator, built by TRU Simulation+Training of Montreal, recreates the flight envelope of the Viking 400 Twin Otter, the newly produced Honeywell Apex glass cockpit version of the original deHavilland Twin Otter series that first flew in 1965.
EASA and CAAC Clear the Viking High-Altitude and Seaplane Simulator for Training
Key Takeaways:
- Pacific Sky Aviation's new Viking 400 Twin Otter flight simulator, built by TRU Simulation+Training, has achieved international certifications from Transport Canada, EASA, and CAAC.
- The simulator offers specialized high-altitude training, using advanced geodetic technology to simulate challenging operational conditions in mountainous regions like the Andes.
- It is also poised to become the world's first true seaplane trainer, with features expected later this year to allow pilots to practice takeoffs and landings in diverse water conditions, including glassy water.
