B: Training for the Modern Rotary Aviator
Optimising Training For Rotary Pilots Through The Procurement Of Innovative & Cost Effective Simulators & Trainers
As the operational environments and missions types for rotary pilots have continued to change over recent years so too much training concepts and practices to ensure an effective
operational capability. Over the last 20 years the role of helicopters has began to move away from providing support functions to ground based troops and has started to operation as the
lead element. This can clearly be seen in the Wars in Iraqi and Afghanistan in addition the Libyan Conflict where helicopters provided precision strike, forward observer, command and
control and air strike capabilities. With this changing role becoming even more evident in recent years its vital to ensure that the modern rotary aviator is provided with the most effective
training to match the roles he/she will be performing in the field.
With this in mind, the inaugural ‘Training for the Modern Rotary Aviator’ Focus Day will provide its military and industry attendees a rare opportunity to discuss the latest
requirements, future capabilities and innovations in technology designed to ensure effective training for modern operational environments. With keynote presentations given by the
very nations currently heavily involved in rotary heavy operations at no other event will you have the opportunity to learn, share and connect on such a subject with the blue sky
thinkers leading the way on rotary training.
Benefits of Attending:
Optimise you understanding on the current and future operational roles future rotary aviators are going to have to train for
Obtain a global understanding of the future of rotary training through discussions with DMU’s from both emerged and emerging military nations
Utilise the opportunity for intimate face-to-face networking on the issues that affect you on a daily basis
