In 2014, more than 1,000 Russian and international flight and engineering crew underwent training at Russian Helicopters training centres. Aircrews from the Russian emergencies ministry, interior ministry and federal security service, as well as Russian Helicopters' international partners received additional professional tuition.
Facilities in Kazan, Ulan-Ude, Rostov-on-Don, Novosibirsk and in the Moscow region delivered the flight crew training, and were praised by Russian and international pilots and engineers.
The aircraft training centre at Ulan-Ude taught over 200 pilots and engineers for Mi-8AMT and Mi-171 helicopters, which are series produced at the plant. The plant's training centre is equipped with a flight simulator for both types, offers full-cycle training and specialises in re-training and additional professional training for flight and engineering crews.
Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant is currently developing a simulator for the new Mi-171A2, which will make it possible to start training and re-train flight crews while the helicopter is brought into series production.
Kazan Helicopters trained 577 specialists in 2014. It provides a full flight crew training package including theory, simulator and flight training and is equipped with a modern Mi-8MTV integrated simulator.
