As I understand it the idea is to facilitate the creation of a new generation of FSTDs that can be built to an affordable standard for role training. I think the NAAs have the license thing covered. A typical affordable sim could be optimised for a particular role or roles and shorten the time it takes to become a competent crew-member (front seat and back seat). With easy access and cheap running costs they could be located at YOUR base and allow you to practice/rehearse SAR, HEMS, Fire Fighting, Sling Load, Police, Transmission Line Repair, Wind Turbine Servicing. IF training a breeze and recurrent training as you wish, night currency without flying at night, night DLs at your local platforms, Command Courses, LOFT Training.
The world is your lobster !!!
