NEUILLY-SUR-SEINE, France, Aug. 11 (UPI) -- A second N3 Dauphin helicopter flight simulator will be produced for Eurocopter by the French firm Thales for use by Southeast Asia customers.
Thales said the simulator is expected to be operational from 2012 at Eurocopter's Southeast Asia facility.
Additional details of the contract weren't disclosed.
The N3 Dauphin, with a maximum speed of 190 mph, comes in military and civilian variants. In Asia it is being used by police forces in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, as well as the Indian coast guard.
Thales said the simulator will obtain "Flight Training Device Level 3" and "Full Flight Simulator Level B" approval under European and U.S. government standards, "thereby providing training credits for initial training, as well as for initial and recurrent 'type rating' training."
The N3 Dauphin will also be used to provide training for more specific assignments, such as offshore operations, search and rescue and emergency medical services.
Eurocopter is a subsidiary of the European Aeronautic, Defense and Space Co.
