HeliSpeed’s Bell 429 FNPT II MCC simulator has been approved by the Cameroon Civil Aviation Authority (CCAA) for Multi-Crew Cooperation (MCC), Instrument Rating (IR) and Airborne Radar Approach (ARA) training. The approval expands access to advanced helicopter training in Cameroon, reinforcing HeliSpeed’s commitment to delivering high-quality aviation training solutions.
Geoff Packer, CEO of HeliSpeed, says: “We are delighted to receive this recognition from the Cameroon Civil Aviation Authority. This approval demonstrates our dedication to delivering high-quality training solutions that improve flight safety and operational efficiency. Pilots in Cameroon can now benefit from state-of-the-art training on the B429 simulator, ensuring they meet global aviation standards.”
HeliSpeed’s Bell 429 simulator offers an immersive environment replicating real-world operational scenarios. With CCAA certification, the device can now be used to enhance crew coordination in multi-pilot operations, train pilots in IFR procedures for low-visibility conditions and provide instruction in radar-assisted approaches for challenging environments.
The approval marks a milestone in HeliSpeed’s efforts to support aviation development in Africa, aiming to strengthen pilot competency and contribute to regional aviation growth through internationally recognised training programmes.
