JPATS (T-6)FlightSafety was selected to provide the ground-based training system for its Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS). We have delivered more than 85 trainers to the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force as a part of an integrated training system including aircraft, multiple levels of simulators, courseware, training management systems and contractor logistics support. U.S. Air Force and Navy Pilot TrainingJPATS uses a newly developed aircraft, the T-6A Texan II, to train undergraduate pilots for both the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navy. The new aircraft is replacing the Air Force’s T-37B undergraduate pilot fleet and the Navy’s T-34C undergraduate pilot fleet. The program includes the development of an associated ground-based training system (GBTS). With the T-6A, the Air Force and Navy have a highly flexible primary aircraft capable of training a beginner pilot and of performing training missions well into an advanced training curriculum. Our training systemWe are on contract to develop, produce, install and maintain the JPATS GBTS at military installations around the United States. The GBTS includes flight simulators, a training integration management system (TIMS), courseware and courseware delivery system, as well as a modification update and support system (MUSS) for these elements. FlightSafety operates MUSS at Randolph AFB, Texas and five training sites (Laughlin, Randolph and Sheppard, Texas; Columbus, Mississippi; and Vance, Oklahoma). JPATS Training Locations

KC-10A ExtenderKC10ATS.COM FlightSafety supports the U.S. Air Force Air Mobility Command with 4,000 to 6,000 initial, upgrade and recurrent training events each year for KC-10 pilots, boom operators and flight engineers. We perform contractor logistics support on four Weapons Systems Trainers (full flight simulators), two Flight Training Devices, 11 Aircrew Systems Trainers, two Boom Operator Trainers and two Cargo Load Trainers. With its training for the KC-10 and the KC-135, FlightSafety is now the largest provider of air refueling aircraft training for the USAF. The KC-10A Extender entered service in 1981. The current fleet of KC-10As is well suited for both of its missions – air refueling and airlift. The Extender can both take on fuel as a receiver aircraft and off-load fuel as a traditional aerial tanker. The crew consists of two pilots, a flight engineer and a boom operator. The KC-10A is operated by the 305th Air Mobility Wing, McGuire Air Force Base, New Jersey; and the 60th Air Mobility Wing, Travis Air Force Base, California. Air Force Reserve Associate units are assigned to the 349th Air Mobility Wing at Travis and the 514th Air Mobility Wing at McGuire. Our training systemFlightSafety holds a nine-year contract to provide training support for the KC-10A mission. We train KC-10A crewmembers and operate two full-motion weapon system trainers, one flight training device (non-motion flight simulator) and one boom operator flight simulator at both Travis and McGuire Air Force Bases.

KC-135KC135ATS.NET FlightSafety’s 15-year contract for KC-135 training was awarded in 1992, with a three-year extension in 2007. Today, some 3,900 aircrew members receive FlightSafety training on the Stratotanker every year at bases in the United States, United Kingdom and Japan. FlightSafety developed the KC-135 computer-based training systems (CBTS), and also provides aircrew instruction. Training equipment includes OFTs, boom operator part-task trainers, and a cargo-load trainer. Among the recent OFT modifications are new control loading and motion systems, digital sound and a flight model upgrade. We provide a full range of training and support for the KC-135: program management, instruction, logistics, aircrew training device (ATD) operations and maintenance, and training system support center (TSSC) operations including configuration/concurrency management of hardware, software, and courseware, SIMCERT support, and training management system (TMS) operations. Extensive concurrency modifications and simulator standalone technology insertions include installing the global air traffic management (GATM), upgrading computer systems, visual systems, motion and control loading systems, and instructor operations systems (IOS). KC-135 training mission support also includes demonstrated DMO/High Level Architecture (HLA) networking. KC-135 Training Locations

T-38C TalonFlightSafety won a T-38 re-compete during 2006 and was awarded a nine-year contractor logistics support contract. We support 31 T-38 training devices – four WSTs, 13 OFTs and 14 UTDs. The T-38C is a converted T-38A/B that incorporates major modernizations to its avionics suite, including an all-glass cockpit with integrated avionics displays, head-up display and an electronic “no-drop bomb” scoring system. This upgraded trainer aircraft is used primarily by the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) to train advanced students in the fighter-bomber tracks of USAF pilot training. Complementing the aircraft is a new set of aircrew training devices (ATDs) including a 360-degree field-of-view Weapon Systems Trainer that allows for more advanced fighter maneuvering. Our training systemFlightSafety is on contract to maintain and support the new T-38C ATDs at six USAF pilot training bases and operate the related Training System Support Center at Randolph AFB, Texas. This contract includes maintaining the few remaining T-37B flight simulators until they are replaced by the new T-6A ATDs. We perform contractor logistics support on 31 training devices – four WSTs, 13 OFTs and 14 UTDs). T-38C Training Locations
