Axis qualifies latest HUD and EVS tech for Rega
Rega's Challenger CL650 pilots can now practise using a HUD and EVS system, helping improve visibility, situational awareness and operational safety while in flight.

Axis Flight Simulation has successfully qualified the heads up display (HUD) and enhanced vision system (EVS) for Europe's first Bombardier Challenger CL650 Level D full flight simulator (FFS), owned by Rega Swiss Air Rescue and operated by Lufthansa Aviation Training (LAT) in Zürich, Switzerland.

The FFS uses a rehosted Rockwell Collins ProLine 21 Fusion avionics system. Rega's Challenger CL650 pilots can now practise using a HUD and EVS system, helping improve visibility, situational awareness and operational safety while in flight.

Christian Theuermann, a member of the Axis executive board, says: "Achieving this qualification for Rega highlights our dedication to delivering high-quality training solutions that harness the latest technology. Alongside our recent launch of AX-D Flex, we have set a new benchmark for cockpit training efficiency and flexibility."

Axis Flight Simulation qualified Europe's first Bombardier CL650 Level D FFS for Rega in November 2023. Rega is also the first customer of Axis's AX-D Flex, the first front-loading roll on/roll off system.
