Zurich, Switzerland / Perth, Australia, 26th February 2026
ELITE Simulation Solutions is proud to announce the sale and delivery of an S623T Twin-Engine AS355 Helicopter Simulator to Corsaire Aviation, based in Perth, Western Australia.
Designed to replicate the Airbus AS355 TwinStar with exceptional fidelity, the S623T AS355 flight simulation training device provides an immersive and highly accurate training environment for both ab-initio and advanced helicopter operations. The simulator will support Corsaire Aviation’s expanding rotary-wing training portfolio, enabling efficient, high-quality instruction across a wide range of instrument and multi-engine scenarios.
This delivery marks another milestone in ELITE’s growing footprint in the Australian helicopter training market, representing one of several ELITE helicopter simulators delivered to Australia over the course of the past few years. The continued adoption of ELITE devices highlights the region’s strong demand for advanced, regulation-compliant synthetic training solutions.
René Huddlestone, Director of Sales and Marketing at ELITE Simulation Solutions, commented: “We are pleased to welcome Corsaire Aviation, a highly regarded operator, to ELITE’s expanding customer base in Australia. As the premier helicopter flight training organisation on Australia’s west coast, Corsaire Aviation sets a high benchmark for training excellence, and we are proud to support their continued advancement through the integration of advanced simulation technology.”
The S623T AS355 simulator delivered to Corsaire Aviation will be approved by CASA as a CAT B FSD2 device, allowing pilots to log significant flight training credits, including:
- 5 hours of dual instrument time toward the Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL)
- 25 hours toward the Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL)
- 20 hours toward the Instrument Rating (IR)
- 2 hours of dual instrument time toward the Night VFR rating
- Instrument Proficiency Checks and Recency, including both 2D and 3D instrument approach operations
By combining high-fidelity flight dynamics, accurate avionics simulation, and robust regulatory approval, the S623T enables operators to enhance safety, reduce operational costs, and maximize training effectiveness – while keeping pilots firmly within approved credit limits.
The S623T AS355 Twin-Engine Helicopter Simulator is scheduled for installation at Corsaire Aviation’s Perth facility in May 2026, with entry into training operations planned shortly thereafter.
With this latest delivery, ELITE Simulation Solutions continues to reinforce its position as a trusted global provider of helicopter simulation technology, supporting helicopter training organizations worldwide in preparing pilots for real-world operations with confidence.
ELITE Simulation Solutions continues to support a wide range of customers worldwide, delivering flexible, high-performance simulation systems tailored to specialized training, research, and therapeutic requirements.
