AS350 / H125
Rotary crew and mission training, and the anchor device for law enforcement air support work.
Training
Train the crew, not just the operator.
Pilot, tactical flight officer, and full-crew mission training — delivered on the same devices we build, at our Colorado centre, at your facility, or remotely to your own station.
The case for the sim
Every hour you move off the airframe is an hour you get back.
An AS350 costs roughly $1,400 to $1,700 per flight hour to operate. A two-hour training sortie is several thousand dollars of airframe, fuel, and maintenance — spent on a scenario you had to invent, in weather you did not choose, with a real aircraft you cannot afford to put anywhere interesting.
In the device, the night is always the night you need. The suspect always runs. The engine always fails at the worst moment. And when it goes wrong, you reset and fly it again.
Programs
Three tracks.
One crew.
Pilots and sensor operators fly the same mission, so they should train it together. Our tracks run independently when you need them to — and converge when it counts.
TRACK 01
Pilot Training
Instrument proficiency, currency, and type or avionics transition — on a device built to your aircraft rather than a generic panel.
- Instrument procedures and approach currency
- Emergency and abnormal procedures
- Avionics and cockpit transition programs
- Solo device rental for already-rated pilots
- Dual instruction with a qualified instructor
- Operator and line proficiency check preparation
TRACK 02
TFO & Sensor Operator
Qualification and recurrency for tactical flight officers and airborne sensor operators, from first exposure to the turret through advanced mission work.
- EO/IR sensor operations on your own turret type
- Mission and mapping system proficiency
- ISR and ISTAR mission execution
- Pattern recognition and image interpretation
- Radar, EW, and acoustics fundamentals
- Reporting, downlink, and ground coordination
TRACK 03
Crew & Mission Training
Pilot and TFO in the loop together on a networked flight device and sensor station, working the mission the way they work it airborne.
- Crew resource management under real task loading
- Orbit management and sensor-pilot coordination
- Pursuit, search, and containment scenarios
- Search and rescue, hoist, and overwatch profiles
- Degraded-mode and emergency crew response
- Objective replay and structured debrief
Delivery option
Remote sensor training
Sensor training does not require a runway. We deliver live, instructor-led TFO and sensor operator instruction over a network connection — to your own GIST station, to a portable trainer we ship you, or to a laptop configuration for a single operator.
Your instructor authors the scenario, watches the operator's feed in real time, injects the target behaviour, and debriefs against the recording. No travel budget, no crew away from the roster, no aircraft on the schedule.
- Live instructor
- Real-time scenario control
- Recorded debrief
- No travel
Delivery option
On-site at your facility
If you already operate a Euramec device — or you would rather keep the crews at home — we bring the instruction to you. Deployable trainers travel in cases and set up in a squadron classroom.
We also build the curriculum. Several of our engagements start as a device configuration and a written training program tailored to one operator's aircraft, procedures, and check standards, then run as a recurring course.

Opening 2027 — Centennial, Colorado
The Aircrew Mission &
Safety Training Center.
A single facility outside Denver where an agency can put a pilot, a TFO, and a full crew through their year — on rotary, fixed-wing, and sensor devices under one roof, at a fraction of what the same currency costs on the airframe.
On the floor
EC135 / H135
Twin-engine crew training for air support, HEMS, and ISR operators.
Airbus A320
Airline procedure, MCC, interview preparation, and corporate programs.
GIST ISR suite
Sensor operator stations networked to the flight devices for full crew scenarios.
Instrument and currency training will be delivered on an Advanced Aviation Training Device; FAA qualification is in progress ahead of opening.
How it opens
PHASE 01
Facility fit-out and the AS350 device online — crew and mission training begins for law enforcement and utility operators.
PHASE 02
EC135 device online and AATD qualification complete — instrument, currency, and dual instruction open to rated pilots.
PHASE 03
A320 refurbishment complete — airline procedure training, interview preparation, and corporate programs begin.
ONGOING
GIST sensor stations networked to the flight devices, opening full pilot-and-TFO crew scenarios and remote sensor delivery.
Who it is for
Law enforcement aviation
Air support units needing recurrent crew training without pulling an aircraft off patrol.
Government & federal agencies
Border, maritime, and land agencies training sensor operators and mission crews.
Military & ISR units
Multi-sensor mission rehearsal and crew coordination for tactical aircrew.
Operators & flight schools
Commercial operators, Part 135 fleets, and schools needing type-specific device time.
Owner-pilots
Insurance-driven recurrent training on the type you actually own.
Corporate teams
Team-building days and airline interview preparation in the A320 flight deck.
Ahead of opening
Get on the 2027 schedule early
Agencies that engage before opening help shape the scenario library, get first call on the calendar, and lock training terms ahead of general availability. Sensor training is available remotely now — you do not have to wait for the doors to open.

Sensor operator courses
From basic theory
to a cognisant operator.
A structured, blended-learning syllabus covering every sensor discipline — classroom instruction, computer-based training, and live simulation, tailored to the operational profile of your platform. Every course tracks back to the ASG Sensor Academy pedigree that Euramec inherited with Aerosimulators Group.

How it is delivered
Blended learning
Classroom instruction, computer-based training, and live simulation combined — so students meet every part of the syllabus in the way it is best learned, and scenarios reflect your own operational profile.
Where it runs
Our centre or yours
Courses run at a Euramec training centre or at your own facility, with the simulation packed and delivered to you. Sensor courses can also run remotely to a station we ship.
Course lengths shown are standard durations and are tailored to individual customer requirements. Ask us for the full syllabus and current schedule.

Straight answers
Do we have to travel to Colorado?
No. Crew and flight training runs at the Centennial centre, but sensor and TFO instruction can be delivered remotely to your own station, or on site at your facility with a deployable trainer.
Do we need to own a Euramec device first?
No. Training is a standalone service. Many customers train with us for a year or two before they buy anything, and some never buy hardware at all.
Which sensor systems can you train on?
WESCAM MX-10, MX-15 and MX-20, Star SAFIRE III and III HD, the FLIR Star 380 Series, the FLIR Ultra 8500, the Raytheon MTS, and Gyrocam — paired with Churchill Navigation, AeroComputers, CarteNav, EuroNav, or Avalex mission systems. Tell us your fit and we will confirm it.
Can you build a program around our procedures?
Yes, and it is one of the things we do best. We will write the curriculum against your aircraft, your SOPs, and your check standards, then run it as a recurring course.
What does a crew training day look like?
A briefed set of mission scenarios flown by a pilot and TFO together on networked devices, with an instructor controlling the scenario live, followed by a recorded debrief against the objectives.
How do we get pricing?
Ask. Rates depend on device, duration, and whether you are training a crew, a course, or a whole unit, so we quote against the actual requirement rather than publishing a list.
Tell us who needs training.
Crew size, aircraft, sensor fit, and the currency you are trying to hold. We will build the program around it.
