AMST & NFM‑REEL Win France Contract to Address the Needs of Aeromedical Training of French Air Force Pilots

France – The French Armed Forces Health Service (Service de Santé des Armées, SSA) has contracted a joint consortium of AMST-Systemtechnik (Austria) and NFM Systems – REEL (France) to modernize and maintain the human centrifuge facility at the Institut de Recherche Biomédical des Armées (IRBA). The refurbishment extends through 2028, with a follow-on maintenance agreement covering five additional years.

  • The project encompasses full modernization of the Centrifugeuse Humaine d’Applications, de Recherches Médicales et d’Études Scientifiques (CHARMES) at Brétigny‑sur‑Orge.

  • Under the contract, NFM Systems – REEL will upgrade hydraulic systems (24 motors), power electronics, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), hydraulic control, and auxiliary systems, and then provide comprehensive maintenance for all power systems.

  • AMST-Systemtechnik is responsible for replacing the entire gondola (including a carbon-fiber roll ring), installing new roll and pitch motion systems, a Rafale-like cockpit replica, control systems (hardware/software), control stations and GUIs, AV systems, high‑speed data links, medical monitoring systems, and integrating Dynamic Flight Simulation (DFS) capability.

  • After modernization, the consortium will jointly manage the operational readiness and maintenance of control systems, subsystems, and overall system integrity over five years.

  • The upgrade is intended to support advanced aeromedical training for French Air Force pilots and to facilitate IRBA’s research in aerospace physiology.

  • This contract follows public tender announcements for modernization and operational maintenance of human centrifuge systems for French combat air forces (Project CHARMS‑NG) earlier in 2023.

Flight School Resource and Training Timeline Forecasting Software, Aeroplanned, Highlights New Approach to Optimise Pilot Training in New Zealand

New Zealand – Aeroplanned, the pioneering resource planning platform for flight training, presented its vision for a collaborative, phase-specialised approach to flight training at the recent NZ Aviation Industry Association conference.

  • Aeroplanned outlined a model in which training centres of excellence are established for specific phases of pilot training:

    • Visual training concentrated at sunny bases

    • Instrument training delivered at advanced airports

    • Students progressing seamlessly through a connected ecosystem

  • The concept aims to build a resilient, efficient training pipeline with consistent standards and on-time delivery of graduates.

  • Using Aeroplanned’s software, this vision can be modelled both as a long-term strategic plan and a short-term operational blueprint, providing schools with visibility into student progress, resourcing needs, and bottlenecks.

  • A key challenge highlighted was multi-engine instructor demand: whether a school runs one or multiple courses, requirements remain constant, creating inefficiencies for smaller providers. Aeroplanned suggested that collaborative, specialised training phases could improve utilisation, strengthen resilience, and enhance the student experience.

Statement

  • “Here’s the challenge: whether a school runs just one 12-month course for 14 students, or twelve of those courses in a year, the number of multi-engine instructors required is the same. Running at that larger scale would make multi-engine resourcing highly efficient — but the single-engine demand would be impossible for most NZ schools. So schools end up forced into trade-offs: smaller groups with poor utilisation, or fewer groups that create peaks and troughs. Either way, covering all phases alone is inefficient and unsustainable. By working together and specialising in phases, schools can share capacity, improve utilisation, build resilience, and give students a stronger learning experience.” stated Jen Liddle, CEO at Aeroplanned.
