prevent the map from becoming too cluttered, a feature to switch off selected types of navigation
parameters from the display is available to the instructor.
Included on the Area Map Page the following instructor controllable functions are available:

After the helicopter flies past the area map boundary, it will hold the previous selected map
scale.

TRACK ERASE: This clears the current track and will begin a new one.

SYMBOL DISPLAYS: This feature will enable the instructor to blank out types of NAV AIDS
(ILS, VOR, NDB, etc.) from the map.

INSTRUMENT DISPLAYS: The instructor has a choice of miniaturized instruments to be
displayed on the map screen to allow observation of the instrument readout during the training
session or for debriefing purposes (replay function including the display of the instruments’
status).

TURN ON (EXTENDED) PROFILE VIEW: When selected, the area map will additionally
display helicopter speed, Gear position (if Helicopter is fitted with Gear), Altitude and
deviation to Glide Slope. The profile view is scalable.
The Profile view displays the ILS capture area and shows both vertical and horizontal track relative to
the glide slope and localizer position. It shows the helicopter position in relationship to the selected
ILS, clearly depicting glide slope deviation. Additionally, all associated marker beacons are displayed
on both approach plans.
The Flight Path Replay function allows powerful and sophisticated analysing of pilot action during
simulator flight for debriefing purposes. Information available in profile and extended view can be
displayed on the map page. When approaching an ILS facility the deviation between the ideal and the
actual flown path can be analysed at any zoom level – half and one-degree deflection is visualised on
the profile section of the map page. When using the simulator in combination with the external Visual,
the cross section of the underlying terrain is displayed at any position. The flight path can be stored
and replayed - maximum recording time is 60 minutes. Print map, zoom functions, database load and
state file save functions are standard map page features.

turbine helicopter.
The simulation of the flight performance is based on an accurate mathematical model. Full
consideration is given to all variable surfaces and their effects. Simulation does include:





Variation of helicopter longitudinal, lateral and directional stability with altitude, airspeed and
gross weight.
Hovering characteristics
Translational lift
Vortex Ring state (settling with power)
Dynamic CG calculation based on load and fuel weight
Wind Effects
The effect of wind from any direction, at speeds from zero to sixty knots is realistically simulated and
controlled by the instructor. The wind does show the correct effect on the ground track display during
in-flight operation of the Evolution S723 helicopter.
Atmosphere
Variation of temperature, pressure and density with altitude does follow the ISA standard model.
Take-Off and Climb-Out
During take-off, heading control is accomplished via the use of cyclic and/or rudder. Translational lift
is modelled during take-off acceleration.
Landing
The following is simulated during the landing phase:
 Rate of descent versus speed, power setting and wind conditions
 Control approach response
 Transition to the hover
Ground cushion effects (including wind effects) and air to ground transients are simulated to the best
available data, representative of the in-ground effect characteristics of the actual flight.
Instrument Responses
Instrument responses to actual helicopter responses do reflect:
 Helicopter slip and rate of turn
 Rate of turn, as a function of bank angle and airspeed
 Attitude, altitude and rate of climb
 Pitch attitude, as a function of airspeed and CG

Aircraft Systems Simulation
Electrical System
Changing the status of electrical consumers in the cockpit (e. g. switching on / off Avionics panel) is
reflected in the consumption of electricity. Should the helicopter’s electrical systems run on battery
only without being constantly fed by the generator, battery load will decrease.
Engine System
The engine and the associated controls and indicators are simulated as described in the helicopter data.
The basis for the turbine and helicopter model is a Eurocopter AS350 Squirrel.
Simulation of the Turbomeca Ariel 1B power plant includes turbine start on the ground and in the air,
normal governed operation, acceleration, deceleration and shut down. Variations of the effects of
altitude, airspeed and ambient temperature are included in the performance computations.
Characteristics for the applicable turbine and their effect on the flight path are reproduced in response
to engine control selections.
The turbine monitoring system has the capability of depicting a realistic representation of turbine
operations.
Rotor control and operation are realistically simulated.
Engine sound is realistically modelled during start- and continuous operation.
Fuel System
The Aircraft fuel system is simulated in accordance with helicopter data. The effect of fuel depletion is
simulated. Fuel quantity indicators are simulated from helicopter data.
Steering
The normal system controls, indicators and warning sounds are simulated according to the helicopter
data.
Flight Control System
The flight controls are installed for a dual pilot / dual cyclic operation in the cockpit and functions
according to the available helicopter data. Realistic feel is available through available helicopter data.
