Mi-17MODER simulator Instructor station - objects

34. Mi-17MODER Full Mission SimulatorDebriefing Room Mi-17MODER • Debriefing room • Very important part of the simulator complex, mainly for IOS, is a possibility to build a special room for debriefing. This special room is intended for instructors and crew members to provide complex of debriefing after every exercise.

35. Mi-17MODER Full Mission SimulatorDebriefing Room Mi-17MODER • Debriefing room • Debriefing room we can use mainly for regular meeting all aircrews with focus on flight safety. • During the debriefing the instructor can use all information which the simulator offer for detailed training analyses together with every crew members. • During debriefing the instructor can add short records from the recorded devices. • The debriefing room is equipped as like as the IOS. • Very important is the possibility to play running exercises of the flight during a debriefing with crew members with refer to their deficiencies, there is a very important for the moment how we can streamline all training process. • Recorded data can be used for configuration of training tasks for pilot (pupil) and can be used for the evaluation of professional progression of pilot-pupil. • Debriefing room is very important for improve the quality of flight training and perfect utilization of its devices by instructors can streamline of all flight training process

36. Mi-17MODER Full Mission Simulator Mi-17MODER • Mi-17MODER FFS is available in Slovakia, a NATO member country • In short time will be ready also for commercial training (we are in connection with Slovak MoD, working on it) • FFS will offer any other terrain according to different customers needs • Airbase Presov will offer complete training methodology

37. CONCLUSION Mi-17MODER • Improvement of aircrew preparation • Theoretical preparation • On the MMC • On the Special classroom • Practical preparation • On the simulator • On the real helicopter • Modernization of aeronautical techniques and simulators • Variability of flight simulators • Coordination between military and civilian ATC • FFS will offer any other terrain according to different customers needsAirbase Presov will offer complete training methodology
