"Ka-226.80 simulator on a moving platform was created to provide prospective technologies for the training of air personnel. The simulator is dynamic and allows pilots feel acceleration of a real flight and train various missions with a high degree of authenticity. The missions include taxying, takeoff and landing day and night with visible airstrip, helipad, landmarks and night marks, manual and automatic piloting by devices and visually," it said.

The visualization system generates territory images of 250x250 km and is a multichannel projection system with a spherical display and viewing angles of -50 to +30 degrees vertically and ±95° horizontally. The system produces real images of the surrounding space, including terrain relief, ground and air objects in various weather and any time of the day, as well as clouds, etc.

The workplace of the instructor is a unified module which ensures the training process. It provides a training scenario and uninterrupted video control of the actions and can change the training scenario. The registration and control system provides post-flight analysis and documents the results.

The simulator can operate within training centers and independently.

Acceptance trials of Ka-226.80 simulator were held by the Chkalov Center to confirm the technical and operational characteristics of the simulator. The trials recommended the simulator for batch production.
