FLIGHT SIMULATION

Starspeed Training are delighted to announce the CAA certification of our brand new H145 FTD3 simulator at our headquarters in Kemble! 

As the first of its kind in the UK this is a major step forward for UK rotorcraft training. 

The H145 FTD3 & FNPTIII/MCC simulator is equipped with version 8 Helionix, soon to be version 10 and available to lease for training requirements. 

Some of the many features include; elevated helipads, sloping ground, instrument flight, night flying, deck training, ipad mounts, TCAS II 7.1 with RA, Barco F80 projectors and XPlane 11 visual system.

The booking system is live and training requests can be made to training@starspeed.co.uk or 01285 611000. 

IOS courses also available. 

Thank you to the teams at Reiser Simulation and Training GmbH and RS Flight Systems GmbH who have delivered us the best quality product.

Our other synthetic training device is an Elite S623T FNPT II simulator based on the AS355 Twin Squirrel, holding CAA approvals. It has dynamic control loading which includes a trim system with fully coupled autopilot functions, loading on the yaw pedals to simulate loss of hydraulic pressure, EFIS, intergrated Garmin GTN750 and weather modelling which includes rain, ice and snow.

Non-approved training is also available for refresher, instrument currency or Line Orientated Flight Training (LOFT). LOFT Courses can be designed to meet customer requirements. The FNPT is fully approved for pilot courses; however, as a state of the art training device, it is much more than this. With its enhanced visual package and realistic cockpit configuration it is also an invaluable resource for helicopter technical crew members and is available for both wet and dry lease.

We are happy to provide bespoke programmes for observers, crew members and technicians along with automation and emergency procedures training. We also offer the simulator and its classroom for recruitment assessments, flight-integrated CRM and FAA IR recurrent training and testing.

We also have a fully interactive touchscreen emulator. The Avionics Desktop Trainer is ideal for use during ground school, prior to and post simulator sorties, for standalone refresher training, and cockpit familiarisation. A vital part of Starspeed’s H145 courses, this is also available for lease to any customer requiring cockpit familiarity, starts/stops, emergencies, refresher flights (especially on Helionix) prior to tests and visits to overseas simulators.


The Avionics Desktop Trainer is available for hire with or without an instructor. You will need a relevant IOS certificate to use it, or training can be provided.
