Leveraging design expertise for H145 Pilot and Technician

Located in Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. Gifu Works, Kawasaki Training Centre in Japan has trained many pilots and technicians of H145 helicopter since its establishment in 2019.

Kawasaki Training Centre is the Airbus Helicopters-approved facility in Japan that can train H145 / BK117 helicopters.

Our training centre has two major features.

The first one is, we can offer high quality training. Because the H145 was jointly developed by Airbus Helicopters and our company, the designers in our company who actually designed the aircraft can provide education based on the design concept.

The second one is the equipment. Specifically, we have introduced equipment and mock-ups such as HATS (Helionix Advanced Tool Simulator), which helps trainees to familiarize themselves with all the Helionix® cockpit functionalities, and VMT(Virtual Maintenance Trainer), allowing trainees to experience as if they were working with actual helicopter.

Also, recently, we actively offer H145 training to not only Japanese customers but also overseas customers. Currently we have training approval by New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority.

In the future, we plan to obtain training approval from other NAA so that we can provide training.

We are looking forward to hearing from you!!!

Team Kawasaki
