Philippines Based Full Flight Simulator Training Center Welcomes 16 New A320 Type Rating Trainees in September 2023

Clark, Philippines – Thirteen (13) cadets hailing from batches 45, 53, 59, and 62 of Alpha Aviation Group’s Airline Pilot Program (APP), along with three (3) CPL holders who completed their training in other pilot schools, were formally inducted into the First Officer Transition (FOT) Program on 26 September 2023. This momentous occasion marks the successful conclusion of their rigorous training, paving the way for their forthcoming transition as FOs in the commercial airline industry.

In his welcome remarks, Capt. Anthony Tan (AAGP Head of Training) lauded the trainees for their determination and milestone achievement. He also provided an overview of the aviation industry and highlighted the importance of the A320 type rating course in advancing their careers as pilots.

Capt. Vicente Casibang II (AAGP Accountable Manager), also present in the ceremony, underscored the importance of knowledge, discipline and attitude in achieving success as a pilot. “Embrace the opportunity to expand your knowledge and skills, as it’s the key to mastering the skies. In aviation, every lesson is a step towards becoming a more competent pilot,” Capt. Casibang said.

The FOT Program is designed based on ICAO’s Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) principles, complies with PCAR, and follows the latest Airbus procedures and standards. It covers key modules such as Multi Crew Cooperation (MCC), Jet Orientation Training (JOT), and Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT), and can be completed in approximately three (3) months.

New Helicopter Full Flight Simulator Training Center Established in Italy

The Italian Navy achieved a major rotorcraft capability enhancement milestone with the completion of deliveries of its NH90 helicopters combined with a dedicated simulation centre for its NH90 crews. The 46th SH-90A ASW/ASuW aircraft, assembled at Leonardo’s facility in Venice Tessera, has been deployed at the Italian Navy’s Maristaeli Luni Base and presented during an official ceremony attended by Italian Navy’s, Leonardo’s and NHIndustries’ dignitaries and representatives on 29 September. The helicopter also joins a fleet of ten MH-90As optimized for tactical transport duties and special operations bringing the total fleet of NH90s to 56 in service with this prime operator. The first Italian Navy’s NH90 was delivered in 2011. Since then, the whole fleet has logged in excess of 35,000 flight hours in multiple operations in Italy and internationally.

The completion of deliveries occurs as a unique Full Crew Simulation Training Centre is established and opened at the base, featuring a dedicated Level D Full Flight Simulator of the type in full MR 1 configuration (therefore, representative of the latest avionics standard), all fully developed by Leonardo and tailored to the Italian Navy’s needs. The new simulation environment allows for the SH-90 and MH-90 crews (including both pilots and specialised personnel) to be trained with the highest level of fidelity and accuracy (1 simulation hour being equal to 1 real flight hour) to carry out missions in any kind of operational scenarios to the benefit of effectiveness, safety, efficiency, and sustainability. The system is suitable for further evolution in the future, such as the possibility to be linked to other simulation assets in order to develop joint and multi-domain networked mission training. Additionally, the Full Crew Simulation Training Centre will deliver training services to NH90 crews from other countries.

Gian Piero Cutillo, Leonardo Helicopters MD, said: “The completion of the NH90 deliveries and the handover of this one-of-a-kind simulation environment marks a major step forward, which further reinforces our long-established partnership with the Italian Navy. I want to thank all Navy and industry personnel who made these results possible. We now look forward to continuing this collaboration with the Italian Navy towards new important goals and capability enhancement to meet evolving requirements.”

LEONARDO CONTRIBUTION TO THE NH90 HELICOPTER
Leonardo is responsible for, or contributes to, the design, production and integration of a wide range of critical NH90 components and systems. These include the rear fuselage, main gear box hydraulic system, upper modes of the Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS), plant management system, power plant integration, NFH mission system (integrating sonar, radar, electro-optics, tactical link, electronic warfare system, Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) interrogator, mission video recording and weapon systems management including air-to-surface missiles and torpedoes for Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) and Anti-Submarine (ASW) missions. Leonardo also integrates additional capabilities such as the Laser Obstacle Avoidance Monitoring (LOAM) system and the LEOSS-T electro-optical system as well as pintle-mounted Gatling-type guns, for specific customers.

THE NH90 HELICOPTER
The largest military helicopter programme in Europe, the NH90 is the optimal choice for modern operations thanks to its full-composite airframe with a large cabin, its excellent power-to-weight ratio and its wide range of role equipment. It features a quadruplex fly-by-wire flight control system for reduced pilot workload and enhanced flight handling characteristics. The NH90 is available in two main variants: one specified for naval operations, the NH90 NFH (NATO Frigate Helicopter) and the TTH (Tactical Transport Helicopter) for land based operations. As of today, over 500 NH90 helicopters, a mixture of both variants, have been delivered worldwide carrying out missions in a wide range of weather and environmental conditions, over land and sea, and have amassed in excess of 380,000 flight hours.

ABOUT NHINDUSTRIES
NHIndustries is the largest rotorcraft Joint Venture in European history and it is responsible for the design, manufacture and support of the NH90 helicopter, one of the leaders in the latest-generation of military helicopter. The company takes the best from European Rotorcraft and Defence Industry, being owned by Airbus Helicopters (62.5%), Leonardo (32%) and GKN Fokker (5.5%). Each company has aerospace pedigree and brings the top of its skills and expertise to the end product.
