What Professional Pilots Say

Practice vertical reference techniques has never been more realistic and safe than ever. See here the testimonials of experienced pilots who use our solution.

FT
"Having trained numerous new and experienced helicopter pilots, I am very pleased to see the virtual reality simulator taking its place as a new training tool. Even for such specialized maneuvers as long lining. Utilized in the right way, this system has the potential to revolutionize helicopter pilot training."
CP
"Since testing this plugin, I realize how immersive the use of virtual reality is in this type of training. Beyond the ability to be able to train and familiarize, the VR lifting tool allows you to go deeper into main failures, breakdowns, malfunctions and safety maneuvers. The progression is clearly present and allows more regular training with much fewer technical and financial difficulties. It's a pleasure to be able to test part of the future of simulator training."
AT
"I have served 20 years in Greek Air Force as a S.A.R helicopter captain and now holding an ATPL(H) license. Attending the 2024 European Rotors Conference I had the opportunity to try Intersim (Prosling) sling load module and I can tell you it was a joy. It really DOES deliver what is supposed to. Really nice performance getting pretty solid feedback about sling loads behavior."
CR
"We're demonstrating the HELIMOD Mark III device for long lining and vertical reference. We have partnered with Intersim (Prosling) simulation who provide an excellent mod to the software that provides so much realism to the slung load physics."
