The NH90 systems simulation fidelity ensures an excellent training efficiency, with respect to procedure execution as well as the helicopter behavior. The VMT offers different interaction modes adapted to each student’s level of maturity. In case of errors, the instructor is able to replay and track any procedure performed by each student.

The VMT covers the essential of maintenance procedures deemed necessary for ground grew training. It provides substantial benefits both in training time and helicopter immobilization time.

For example, the Main Rotor Head removal, which needs one day and a half in real life, can be achieved in only two hours with the VMT. Since complex operations, such as blade removal, can be repeated many times without any danger, this will result in a considerable increase of the level of safety for both the students and the helicopter.

Based on a modular architecture, the VMT will be able to follow the NH90 helicopter evolution. Four classrooms, with an overall capacity of 48 students working simultaneously, will be installed at Le Luc in Provence Joint Training Center where both Army and Navy maintainers will be trained.
