Cockpit Procedure Trainer for the German navy
German navy starts flight-crew training with ESG´s CPT for the Sea Lynx MK88A.
Fuerstenfeldbruck, 30 March 2010
ESG Elektroniksystem- und Logistik-GmbH was commissioned by the Federal Office of Defence Technology and Procurement (BWB) to develop a Cockpit Procedure Trainer (CPT) for the Sea Lynx MK88A on-board helicopter. The trainer was approved by the BWB and the Naval Air Wing 3 (MFG 3) in Nordholz, Germany in January 2010 and transferred to the customer, MFG 3's training squadron.
The regular flight-crew training starts at the beginning of April.
The Sea Lynx CPT was especially designed to meet the requirements of flight crews with regard to the implementation of the avionic upgrade IFR 2.
The CPT consists essentially of two fundamental components: the cockpit module and the Instructor Operating Station (IOS). The cockpit module uses seven touch-screen monitors to simulate the original helicopter cockpit.
The modular structure of the CPT offers potential for further enhancements in order to implement additional, future training requirements, for example in the areas of navigation, communication and reconnaissance.
