complying with the current industry standard and simulation software.
1.3.1
Cockpit
Actual aircraft hardware components are not used. The manufacturer fabricates a functional
device replicating aircraft components. Considerations which have resulted in the use of
replicas, include:
Cost
Aircraft approved components are much more expensive.
Reliability
Helicopter use is more demanding than Simulator use.
Ease of Maintenance Maintenance access is necessarily different from the real
helicopter.
Availability
Many helicopter components have unacceptable long lead times
leading to delays in simulator delivery.

Tools and Test Equipment
The manufacturer can be linked via remote access to the operator FSTD and uses tools and
test programs to interact directly with the training device. Therefore it is necessary that the
operator is connected to an ISDN or faster modem in order to grant the accessibility of the
system software to the manufacturer.
1.4.5
Maintainability
The Evolution S623T helicopter is designed with maintainability in mind. Every effort has
been made to ensure that there is minimal need to disassemble equipment or to remove
parts. Routing of wire bundles do not interfere with any part or assembly. The design of the
Evolution S623T helicopter is in such that, if required, all components are readily accessible
for replacement and repair.
1.4.6

FLIGHT DECK
General
The flight deck is designed to withstand normal loads, shocks and other conditions incidental
to normal operation, transportation and assembly. The structure is sufficiently rigid to assure
that there is no discernible movement of the Evolution S623T helicopter due to personnel
movement or control movement within the flight deck.
The areas included in the simulator are from the rudder pedals to the aft of the crew member
seats. An open Instructor station is attached to the rear of the flight deck.
The flight deck is enclosed and the front, side and chin bubble windows are provide an
unobstructed view to the visual scene.
2.1.1
Cockpit
The interior of the flight deck is designed according to the helicopter type specified.
Non-helicopter hardware, such as switches and knobs are placed in the correct location and
provide the same general action. They are in a similar appearance to those found in the
actual helicopter.
2.1.2
Aircraft Parts
The Evolution S623T helicopter does not include original helicopter parts.
2.1.3
Instrument Panel Technical Realization
Three TFT monitors are used for pilot, co-pilot and engine instruments. The appearance to
the flight crew is similar to that in the aircraft. All instruments are displayed close to actual
size. All buttons, controls and switches are located according to above layout (Flight and
engine controls hardware).
2.1.4
Simulated Instruments
All simulated instruments are basically operational as in the actual helicopter. Instrument
face markings, including graduations, pointers, flags, etc. are reproduced as authentically as
possible according to the actual helicopter instruments. Instrument functionality that requires
hardware components that are not simulated are not implemented.
All switches and knobs are operational and have a comparable feel to its original
counterparts. Instrument response rates are equal to those found in the helicopter.

Garmin GNS 430 / 530 (real time components)
The GNS 430, designed as the first in a line of new aviation products, is an equally versatile
panel-mounted companion to the GNS 530. It is a WAAS-upgradeable IFR GPS, COM,
VOR, LOC, and glide-slope with colour moving map in one multi purpose unit.
A huge database (that can be updated with a front-loading data card) contains all airports,
VORs, NDBs, Intersections, FSS, Approach, Dps/STARs, and SUA information. The GNS
430/530 makes practical use of this information with features like intelligent frequency
nomination.
