Swiss aeromedical operator Rega has purchased a full-flight simulator to train pilots for its Bombardier Challenger 650 fleet. Furnished by Austria-based Axis Flight Training Systems, this will mark the first leve-\u00a0D simulator for the type in Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe operate three of these aircraft and each year fly around 1,000 people back home to Switzerland in them for a total of some 4,800 annual flight hours,\u201d said Urs Baltisberger, a Rega pilot and head of crew training, adding that usage makes the charitable foundation among the world\u2019s top operators of the aircraft. Twice a year, Rega\u2019s 27 jet pilots must undergo mandated simulator training and are therefore required to travel across the Atlantic to Montreal for the closest Challenger 650 simulator.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo it makes sense that we should also have our own simulator for the type,\u201d said Baltisberger. \u201cAfter careful research, we came to the conclusion that Axis is the best partner for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scheduled to enter service in September\u00a0in Opfikon near Zurich Airport, the simulator will be operated by Lufthansa Aviation training on behalf of Rega\u00a0and any unused capacity will be offered to outside customers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
