Training services for Germany
The Airbus Helicopters Training Academy in Germany has more than 45 years of expertise in training and is located adjacent to Airbus Helicopters’ manufacturing plant in Donauwörth. Its capacity is for more than 1,500 pilots and technicians annually.

Complete training services
The high quality of pilot and maintenance training courses is assured by a very strict internal quality system and regular audits by national authorities and EASA. The Airbus Helicopters Training Academy is certified to issue EASA PART 147 certificates and has recently been approved as a National Training Organisation (NTO), among many others.
The team of instructors is made up of highly knowledgeable and experienced experts who use the latest technological training tools (from interactive training manuals and virtual reality tools to full flight simulators) to support the courses pedagogically.

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).
