German flight simulator manufacturer Reiser Simulation and Training has teamed up with RS Flight Systems to bring innovative and cost-effective flight navigation and procedures trainer and flight training device products to the market.

The new product line called the F-light line for the Flightsimulator light, will feature the Level D capable flight model together with the Helionix avionics replica supplied by Reiser.

The first Airbus Helicopters FNPT II MCC and FTD2 product emerging from this collaboration will be qualified according to EASA's regulatory framework at RS' launch customer this autumn.

Together with the targeted-fidelity hardware provided by RS, the products will be aimed at flight schools and operators of smaller fleets of helicopters.

Following increasing requests from flight schools for Reiser training equipment, it has committed to enter this market with its approved FFS simulation software. Flight schools and other approved training organisations (ATOs) are calling for more cost-efficient training devices in addition to the existing FFSs in the market. It's for that reason, Reiser says it has been looking for a suitable partner capable of offering high-quality flight training hardware at more competitive prices.

“Constantly focusing on our customers' needs and looking beyond the envisaged scope of our company, we selected RS for the distribution and service support of our fully approved helicopter simulation software,” states Dr. Roman Sperl, Reiser CEO. "Merging RS' cost-effective hardware solutions with our high-fidelity full flight simulator software will continue expanding our innovation leadership by fully embracing the current trends. This will close the gap of affordable flight training devices for flight schools and ATO.”
