FlightSafety International has received Bell TH-57 and Boeing C-17 aircrew training systems and services contracts, the company announced on 24 August.
As a prime contractor for TH-57 Aircrew Training Services programme, FlightSafety will deliver instruction and contractor logistics support and manage the replacement of the current training devices for the US Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard as well as international students. The Level 6 and Level 7 flight training devices, image generators, visual databases and projectors are scheduled to enter service in February 2019.
The C-17 Aircrew Training System contract has been awarded by Boeing to support the US Air Force Air Mobility Command. The work will be performed at 15 air force locations and the Royal Australian Air Force base in Amberley, Australia. The contract includes programme management, aircrew instruction and courseware development, as well as on-site support and upgrades for the training devices and visual systems.
As the manufacturer of the C-17 weapon systems trainers that are currently in service, FlightSafety will ensure that the upgrades and improvements to the aircraft are rapidly incorporated into the training programme and systems.
