Simulation training

From 1 March 2024, HMotion will offer flight simulator training for Airbus Helicopters' light twin-engine helicopters, the EC135, H135 and H145, for refresher courses, dry hours and check flights.

A joint venture between Airbus Helicopters and the ADAC HEMS Academy, HMotion combines the best of two worlds: the data and knowledge of Airbus as a helicopter manufacturer with the experience of ADAC Luftrettung, a world-renowned helicopter operator.

Both full-flight simulators are located at the Airbus Helicopters Training Centre in Donauworth, Germany. Following the relocation of the simulators throughout 2025, the simulation training will take place in Oberpfaffenhofen (just outside of Munich).
