Overview
Several cockpit modules. One Level D platform.
The REISER 11ft. Full Flight Simulator (FFS) combines a central mothership platform with interchangeable cockpit modules. Different helicopter configurations therefore share one infrastructure, with true-to-life motion, vibration, visual and audio simulation. The platform is designed for demanding training, from type rating and recurrent training to NVIS, IFR, offshore and rescue scenarios.
The challenge
Different aircraft types place different demands on cockpit, avionics and training environment. The modular REISER platform creates a common basis for this and allows different cockpit modules to be used in the same mothership infrastructure.
The solution
The 11 ft mothership is designed as a carrier platform for interchangeable cockpit modules. The integrated RoRo function moves cockpits out of the platform for a changeover or for maintenance work. The central infrastructure stays in place and can be configured project by project with the required simulation systems and training content.

The system in detail
Realistic training comes from the interplay of all parts. The integrated REISER simulation system connects mothership, motion system, vibration, visual system, audio and further subsystems into one continuous training environment. Each component has a clear function. Together they enable precise, immersive and adaptable training scenarios.

What is the REISER 11ft. Mothership?
The REISER 11ft. Mothership is the central platform of the Full Flight Simulator (FFS) Level D. It provides the infrastructure for true-to-life flight training and serves as the carrier platform for interchangeable cockpit modules.
Which aircraft types can be simulated?
In the current configuration the simulator supports the Airbus Helicopters H145 D3 with Helionix version 10 and the Airbus Helicopters H135 T3H. The platform is also designed for the integration of further cockpit modules. Actual availability depends on the respective project configuration.
What does the modular platform mean?
The mothership platform allows different cockpit modules to be used on one shared simulator infrastructure. The training environment can therefore be adapted to different aircraft types and project-specific requirements.
Which qualification standards are supported?
The Full Flight Simulator is designed for qualification to EASA CS-FSTD(H) – Level D, FAA 14 CFR Part 60 – Level D and UK CAA – Level D. The actual qualification is always carried out for the specific simulator and cockpit configuration.
Which training scenarios can be run?
The simulator supports training for forest fire fighting, rescue operations at a sinking ship, hoist operations on steep slopes and missions at wind turbines, among others. The scenarios are created and configured from the Instructor Operating Station and can be adjusted during training.
How true to life is the simulation?
The system combines a 6-DOF motion platform, an additional vibration system, a visual system with a 240° horizontal and 80° vertical field of view and a realistic audio and intercom simulation. Movement, vibration, vision and acoustic cues come together in the training.
Can customer-specific training scenarios be integrated?
Yes. The image generator system is compatible with existing customer databases. In addition, training scenarios can be configured project by project, including customer-supplied ship and vehicle models.
How do acceptance and qualification work?
The REISER Full Flight Simulator (FFS) Level D combines a modular 11 ft mothership platform with interchangeable cockpit modules and powerful simulation systems. Here you find answers on aircraft types, qualification, training scenarios and the technical capabilities of the platform.
