Netherlands – Germany-based helicopter simulator manufacturer Reiser Simulation and Training GmbH has reported a construction milestone at the new European Heli Center Netherlands (EHC) / Rotorbase training facility in Lelystad, with the final precast concrete elements of the building successfully assembled.

• The completion of the precast concrete structure marks a significant step in the construction program for EHC's new headquarters at Lelystad Airport, which will house a Reiser-built H135/H145 Level D full-flight simulator.
• The 2,077 m² facility will house ROTORBASE, a central hub for helicopter training in Europe, incorporating modern classrooms and briefing rooms, dedicated crew rest areas, simulator training facilities, operational support infrastructure, and on-site hospitality for pilots and crews.
• The facility will host VertiSIM, European Heli Center's advanced simulator training division, which will operate a Level D Full Flight Simulator for the Airbus H135 and H145 helicopters developed in partnership with REISER Simulation and Training.
• Strategically located at Lelystad Airport, ROTORBASE will offer direct connectivity to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, providing international crews and operators with accessible training access in Europe.
• The new training center will support advanced multi-mission helicopter training across civil and government operator segments, including emergency medical services, offshore transport, law enforcement, military, and commercial flight operations.
