In September 2018, TRU Simulation + Training provided thefirst CL-415 Level D full flight simulator to Ansett Aviation’s training centerin Milan, Italy. The device, a development program for TRU, was qualified toEASA Level D standards and ready for training in December 2018.
With recent wild fire emergencies in Europe and in the western United States, there has been an increased need for CL-415 pilots. The CL-415 with its water-bombing capabilities has provided necessary aid to firefighters on the ground. Training on the aircraft has traditionally been completed via live flying in the aircraft itself, creating a significant safety hazard.
TRU’s simulator-based training offers multiple benefitsincluding reduced costs increased safety,close simulator/instructor one-on-one experiences, less aircraft downtime and lessmaintenance downtime during fire season.
The FFS focuses on key requirements for training including fourdifferent shapes of fire, four types of intensity/level/ranks of forest fire, windstreaks in 3D dynamic waves and speed above 15 knots.
The FFS makes it possible to perform all real-life aircraftscenarios including water scooping, water landing and water take-off andtaxiing.
