Sit in the pilot's seat for once - full motion VR helicopter flight simulator
Want to sit in the pilot's seat, control a helicopter yourself and experience the feeling of flying? The Airbus H125 flight simulator makes it possible with VR goggles and a motion system that imitates every flight movement. We promise; you will never cease to be amazed.
Flight simulator at the Zermatt heliport
Since 2022, Air Zermatt has been operating a new type of flight simulator with virtual reality at its heliport in Zermatt. The helicopter that is simulated here is used by Air Zermatt for tourist flights, transport flights and rescues. The idea for the purchase, the entire development up to the realization was made in close cooperation with the company Loft Dynamics. The aircraft simulates the Ecureuil H125 (AS 350 B3e).
Fascination Flying
With it's flight simulator, Air Zermatt is reducing its ecological footprint. In addition, the new acquisition offers a long-term solution to reduce costs and time. Thanks to the modern VR simulator, every second training session for the semi-annual flight training OPS (Operator Proficiency Check) and the annual license renewal LPC (License Proficiency Check) of the current pilots can be conducted at the heliport.

"Special situations such as losing a tail rotor or performing an autorotation all the way to the ground are simply too dangerous in the real helicopter and are virtually impossible to practice. The simulator opens up new possibilities for us and closes gaps."
Tizian Gruber, lead operator on the new flight simulator
