This is a seriously impressive piece of kit - one of only five joint cockpit and winch simulators in the world.
And it`s the only one to replicate the exact winch configuration and distinctive geographical terrain that local crews operate in.
This simulator is unlike anything you could imagine. Alongside a full H145 cockpit replica it includes green screens and virtual reality goggles to simulate real-life winching operations.
Now crews can practise emergency situations they`ve only ever trained for on paper. This investment will enhance safety, improve crew communications, and ultimately deliver better outcomes for patients.
And it`s all thanks to you - our community.

While recovering at home after being rescued from a horrific jet boat crash, Rob`s life was turned upside down again.

A stroke is a time critical medical event. The patient has just hours to get to tertiary level medical care. Rob was at his home in Akaroa - too far away to get to hospital by road. He needed the rescue helicopter.
In Rob`s words, the rescue helicopter saved his life - again.
Rob is sharing his story to support this year`s Chopper Appeal.
