Pegasus Aero Group invests more than 450,000 euros in improving its flight simulator for emergency missions, SEILAF

This improvement guarantees a more immersive training experience for emergency missions and especially in the fight against forest fires and complex maneuvers

The flight training platform for emergency missions SEILAF (Integrated Forest Fire Fighting System), from Pegasus Aero Group, has taken a significant step in the improvement of its Bell 412 Full Flight helicopter flight simulator, investing more than 450 thousand euros in continuous improvements over the last two years. This update allows for greater immersion in training for emergency missions, improving the scenarios and giving more reality to the exercises.

The implementation of this advanced technology has been carried out by a leading Spanish company in engineering for defense and security.

The new visual system replaces the old EYEVIS UHP (Ultra High Pressure) lamp projectors with state-of-the-art Delta laser projectors, which incorporate artificial intelligence and an innovative mask design to simulate day and night conditions.

With this improvement, SEILAF not only provides a more realistic experience for users, but also optimizes the simulator’s performance, reducing preventive maintenance periods that previously left the equipment out of service. The new laser projectors offer a wider color range, greater contrast and brightness levels, with an estimated durability of 60,000 hours, compared to 2,000 hours for lamp projectors.

Located in Aerópolis, SEILAF has established itself as a unique simulation center in the world for training in forest fire missions. To date, more than 5,000 professionals in the aeronautical and forestry fields, both national and international, from countries such as Chile, Bolivia, Serbia, Montenegro, South Africa, Abu Dhabi, Portugal and Italy, have received training at its facilities. Thanks to these advanced capabilities, SEILAF allows professionals to train in adverse situations, improving their preparation and, therefore, their effectiveness in extinguishing forest fires, a challenge that occurs every year in various parts of the world.
