Enter at the Airbus Helicopters main entrance and inform the security team that you are visiting Helisim LLC.

A visitor (B) visa is sufficient for most of the training offered at our training center. This includes and initial and recurrent training for the simulator models we operate (AS350, EC135, EC145, H145).

An M1 visa is only required for customers who are seeking a new rating. Since FAA rules do not require a type rating for any of the aircraft model simulators we currently operate in the U.S. (al with a GW of less than 12,500 lbs.); therefore, an M1 visa would only be required for customers who are planning to receive training towards a private, commercial, Airline Transport, or instrument rating.

For most training events, e.g. initial or recurrent training NOT for the purpose of obtaining an initial airman's certificate or instrument rating, you DO NOT need to complete a TSA security threat assessment.

In some instances, Airbus Helicopters and/or Helisim LLC offer training that falls within the following Category 3 definition (per TSA):

Candidates who seek flight training in the operation of aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight of 12,500 pounds or less for the following training events: an initial airman's certificate or instrument rating. Each of these training events requires a separate training request.

If you are pursuing training that falls within the definition of category 3, you must complete a TSA security threat assessment before being confirmed for training. Please complete the process as outlined on TSA’s Flight Training Security Program Website. Please select “Airbus Helicopters (TX)” as the training provider.
