During the Airbus Military Trade Media Briefing 2013, held on May 29th and 30th 2013, the trade press had an opportunity to fly on the A400M. After watching the plane emerge over the past few years, it was exciting to have the opportunity to fly the plane.
Noticeably quiet inside the plane, journalists noted the rapid ascent off a short take off and the smooth ride for a large cargo plane. The plane is designed to combine the ability to operate C-130 “like” with the kind of oversized loads, which the C-17 can carry.
At the event, the head of the A400M program, Cedric Gautier, briefed the press on the progress of the plane and the upcoming deliveries to the French and Turkish Air Forces in 2013. Two A400Ms will be seen at the upcoming Paris Air Show, with the French Air Force one seen on the static display.

These slides were presented during the Trade Media 2012 event held at Madrid, Spain and Toulouse, France in May 2012.
The presentation was provided by Philippe Galland, Head of Customer Services for Airbus Military.
A key element of the EADS approach for the next few years is to expand the service offerings and segment within the company. Airbus Military and its services approach is a clear key element of this effort.
A key element of the presentation was to look at key elements of what AM calls the FIIS or Full Integrated In-Service Approach. Other service offerings and prospects were examined and discussed as well.

A400 M Training: A Multi-National Solution Set
These slides were presented during the Trade Media 2012 event held at Madrid, Spain and Toulouse, France in May 2012.
The briefing was provided by Ian Burrett, Heading of Training and Aircrew Operations, Customer Services for Airbus Military.
The A400M is not a platform; it is a fleet and a system. Training and operational support are critical components of the overall capability of the product.
The program has shaped an approach to providing integrated training and Ops support via an integrated network.
The plane has a very automated loadmaster system which means that a “typical” operational involving transport would see a three person crew on board, pilot, co-pilot and loadmaster.
The international training center opened in October 2010 and is the hub for the multinational training. As the equipment and tools are installed, the center will be ready for training in the summer of 2012.
