Horizon simulator installed after record-breaking dash for exhibition

Get the simulator built months ahead of schedule so as it can be part of the company’s display at the Abu Dhabi Idex exhibition.

The manufacturer Elite Simulation Solutions pulled out all the stops for its first Middle East customer and delivered the simulator to the show – and has now installed the trainer at Horizon’s school at Al Ain Airport

The Elite S723 bought by Hrozon has a dual pilot layout with EFIS instrumentation, a Garmin GNS430 GPS, 3D airport scenery for Al Ain, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaima airports, an ultra-high resolution 30 minute flight time cross country section between Al Ain and Ras Al Khaima airports and a 270° x 65° CAVE (Computer Aided Virtual Environment) visual system.

Horizon’s chief executive, Hareb Al Dhaheri, said: “We chose the Elite simulator for its performance, price and impressive visuals. It will be a valued asset for our helicopter training programme.”
