The issue

The Helicopter Crew Training Center (CIEH) of the French Air Force lacked an efficient training system between the theoretical learning of procedures and their practical application on helicopters.

Our solution

To understand what a heli-lift is, its procedures and the roles related to the crew members, we organized a Design Sprint at the CIEH. Once we took ownership of the project, we co-designed 9 different trainings to address key and often critical training steps.

The benefits

Students can train in helicopter hoisting procedures and discover the Fennec helicopter on which they will fly thanks to a digital twin. No equipment downtime for reduced training costs.
