Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The Level 5 FTD certification expands regulator-recognized simulator capacity in Brazil, supporting safer and more structured rotorcraft training at scale.
  • It adds to the momentum of advanced, regulator-approved simulation devices—building on FAA authorization for 3D virtual preflight inspections—that can reduce reliance on time-intensive training activities.
  • For helicopter operators and training providers, the certification lowers friction to standardize competencies locally, similar to how Jet2 rolled out regulator-approved VR walkaround training.
