AW169
No. No online emulator as yet for the AW169. I’m told it’s possibly coming, but at the moment you have to go to the training facility in Sesto to use the VIPT or desktop training suite. Once you sign up for a course you will have access to the reading material on all phases and the training information.
forgot to add, the simulator is a Phase 4. The VIPT is a phase 4. FFS will be upgraded to phase 6 I believe very soon. Some subtle but useful changes, then phase 7 is available with phase 8 also available once the update to phase 7 has been complete. Again don’t quote me on this but I think Phase 7 is some structural changes and phase 8 is software. So when using an emulator make sure its for the correct phase as it can get somewhat confusing.

As a former 412 mechanic, I can say there is no such thing as minimal maintenance on those pigs. 212 was much better and I'd actually rather take a 139 into the bush than a 412. Far less day to day problems.
Stupid pendulum absorbers that broke apart every 50 hours. Stupid MR blades that are near impossible to balance if you breathe on them. Grrrrrrr. MR heads that would keep moving forever and never settle down after install, continuously affecting vibes. Oh and the governor rigging for the +2/-2. And AFCU failures all the time.
Yeah, I remember the 412. Not fondly.
