Dear Customers,
with over 40 years of experience, the Training Academy situated at the core of Eurocopter plant, provides
the world’s leading helicopter training for pilots and technicians.
Since 2011, we have implemented a completely new blended learning process based on interactive learning
with the latest technology integrating Multimedia Based Training (e.g. Computer Aided Instruction on I-Pad)
into theoretical and practical instruction. Our instruction team is composed of experts in their fields with the
utmost operational experience and knowledge.
Although a lot of things have changed in the past 40 years our major goal remains unchanged:
to stand up to your expectations and to contribute decisively to flight safety.
Our course catalogue is designed to cover the full range of your training needs. Nevertheless, we can also
provide your organisation with the most effective training solution tailored to your demand.
The high quality of our training courses is assured by a very strict internal quality system and regularr audits
by national authorities and EASA. The Eurocopter Training Academy is certified to issue certificates
according to EASA PART 147 and JAR FCL 2.
We are extremely proud of our role in providing world class helicopter training.
The Eurocopter Training Academy is looking forward to welcoming you.

Eurocopter Training Academy
Flight Training Organisation (FTO)
The FTO is approved in accordance with JAR-FCL 2.
Our pilots are highly experienced flight instructors with thousands
of flight hours under real-life conditions worldwide. They are
significantly involved in the test flight operations knowing all
details and possess background information about our systems
produced on site. Besides, they keep a close relationship with
EUROCOPTER’s design department and maintenance staff in
order to offer accurate training including latest innovations.
Simulations, Computer Based Training (CBT), avionics trainers (AVT)
and a Full Flight Simulator (FFS) are also available.
Our EC135 Full Flight Simulator (FSS Level B) is a full motion
simulator approved by LBA and accepted by most other aviation
authorities.
Maintenance Training Organisation (MTO)
The MTO is approved in accordance with EASA PART 147.
Our technical instructors are experts in their fields with an attested
long time experience. They work closely with the engineering
departments and make each student’s success a priority.
For the theoretical training the classrooms are equipped with the
latest electronic media. Students have access to all aircraft parts
and documents. Simulations and multimedia based training (MBT)
complete the diversified theoretical instruction leaving no question
unanswered.
For every single practical training we offer fully equipped helicopter
mock-ups representing series helicopters. All necessary special
tools (incl. test equipment) are available and can be demonstrated.
The practical training is not only following the regulatory requirements
but also considering latest technical developments and
fleet analyses to support continuously safe operations.

On the following pages you find the Aircraft Technician Training course descriptions. All courses are
available on request. Nevertheless to facilitate your yearly planning we have fixed dates for type training
courses all over the year. For details please refer to chapter course dates (page xx).
Course language is English. But fundamentally for all courses a real-time translation provided by an
experienced team of interpreters can be offered, please don’t hesitate to ask for details. All students who
have not employed an interpreter have to pass an initial English test at the beginning of the training course.
This is to prove that they have a basic understanding of English to follow the course. In case a student fails
this test Eurocopter Training Academy will organise an interpreter who will be charged to the customer.

General Information
Multimedia Based Training
Web Based Training (type training)
1 Innovative Concept
Starting 1st September 2012 Eurocopter Training Academy will adapt all technician type training courses to
new EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) requirements (see § 3.2).
Eurocopter is taking this opportunity to integrate MBT (Multimedia Based Training – see § 3.3) in the type
training courses.
You will benefit from this modern training concept which is based on our 40 years’ experience in technician
type training. We as manufacturer make safety our first priority. This innovative concept is one piece of the
puzzle in our engagement towards your safe and efficient operational activities.
2 MBT integration in technician type training courses
2.1 Overview
The complete type training course will consist in the following components:
68
MBT classroom instruction practical training
35 - 40 hrs 10 working days 10 working days
Screenshots MBT - Multi Media Based Training
2.2.3 Training at Eurocopter Training Academy
On the first day of the training course at our academy you will take a theoretical multiple choice exam to
prove that you have worked through the MBT and have acquired some basic knowledge. Don’t worry: After
having completed the MBT according to the instructions you should pass the exam without any problem.
After this exam you will take part in the theoretical and practical instruction. Once the course achieved (or
after the completion of the course), you will be awarded with an EASA PART 147 certificate
2.2 What is important for you?
The integration of the MBT will significantly increase your benefit from the type training course. This diversification
of learning method adapts to the different customers learning needs through innovative technology.
This new visual and auditive learning mode enables each student to develop his skills at his own speed and
beyond the class.
2.2.1 Enrolment and Login
Two months prior the start of your training course you will get a message from Eurocopter Training Academy
with the following contents:
• General Course information
• Introduction to MBT (learning path)
• Login and link to the learning management portal of the MBT
• Contact to your instructor
2.2.2 Working with the MBT
The MBT is very easy to handle. You will be guided automatically through all chapters. The MBT provides
you with a description of all components and systems of the aircraft (level 1). Animations, simulations and
exercises as well as a library with the official maintenance documentation help you getting a perfect overview
of the aircraft. In addition you have the possibility to ask questions to your instructor and to talk to your
colleagues who are attending the same training course.
69

3 Additional information
3.1 Frequently asked questions
3.1.1 “What happens if I don’t want to do the MBT at home?”
In this case, you have to arrive one week before the official start of the training course. Eurocopter Training
academy will provide you with a computer working place in a classroom environment. There you can take
your time to study the MBT.
3.1.2 “What happens if my English level is not sufficient to follow a type training course”
In this case you have to hire an interpreter. Eurocopter Training Academy has a pool of experienced interpreters
and can assist you at any time. You can of course arrive with your interpreter one week prior to the
official start of the training course and study the MBT as described in 3.1.1.
3.2 New EASA regulations
With Commission Regulation (EU) No 1149/2011 of October, 21st 2011 EASA has implemented changes to
PART 147 and PART 66.
One important change is that now a minimum duration for theoretical part of the type training is fixed. This
means that you have to submit to a minimum of:
• 120 hours (20 working days) of theoretical instruction for B1 type training course (airframe and engine)
and
• 100 hours (17 working days) of theoretical instruction for B2 type training (electrical system/avionics).
3.3 What is MBT
Multimedia based training is a learning tool that you can access via the Internet all over the world.
It provides interactive content as well as simulations and animations.
You will be guided through all chapters and at the end of each chapter you can do an examination to check
your progress.
In addition to the multimedia training course you have the possibility to meet the other students from the
course in a forum. And you have access to a library with the official maintenance documentation.
Moreover an instructor will answer all your questions via e-mail.
