In accordance with the agreement between the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan and Eurocopter Kazakhstan Engineering LLP, for the first time, practical training of Air Force pilots began on the flight and navigation procedure simulator (FNPT III) of an EU helicopter -145.

This simulator allows pilots to train in realistic conditions with an accurate recreation of flight scenarios, as well as to practice practical actions in various emergency situations and in difficult meteorological conditions, in particular, in mountainous areas and urban environments.

The simulator has an additional instructor's workstation, which provides the ability to control the training of the crew, change flight conditions, enter and remove failures and malfunctions of helicopter systems. As practice shows, after simulator training, potential errors caused by the human factor decrease, and psychological readiness for action in the event of emergency situations is developed. In addition, simulator training helps to save the resource of aviation equipment.

The introduction of simulator training into flight practice will improve the quality level of professional training of crews and flight safety in general.
