EuroSafety’s Caution Panel App represents ESI’s latest advancement toward improving airframe knowledge, situational awareness, and overall flight safety within the helicopter community. This interactive training tool allows pilots, technicians, and students to review and reinforce their understanding of caution and warning panel indications across multiple aircraft types. The current release includes full caution panel coverage and corresponding emergency procedures for the AS350B3 2B, AS350B3 2B1 Single Hydraulic, AS350B3 2B1 Dual Hydraulic, AS350B3e Single hydraulics, AS350B3e Dual Hydraulics, EC130T2 and the EC130B4. Additional airframes will be introduced in upcoming updates as EuroSafety continues expanding its digital training ecosystem. The app offers two primary modes of operation: • Select Mode – Users can tap any caution or warning light to illuminate the light and then tap again to view the associated emergency procedure. • Training Mode – A random caution light illuminates, and then the user taps the light to view the associated emergency procedure. Developed as a quick-reference and self-study companion, the EuroSafety Caution Panel App provides an efficient way to keep procedures sharp and response times instinctive—whether in the classroom, in the hangar, or on the go.
