KF Aerospace91裸聊视频攐ne of Kelowna91裸聊视频檚 biggest employers91裸聊视频攈as earned a $6.5 million contract from Canada91裸聊视频檚 Department of National Defence.

The contract will see KF Aerospace provide a new Bell 206 Level 7 Flight Training Device (FTD) for the federal government91裸聊视频檚 Contracted Flying Training and Support (CFTS) Program located in Southport, Manitoba.

This new program is part of a larger scope of work by KF Aerospace Defence Programs to provide the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) with primary, basic, rotary-wing, and multi-engine pilot training at CFTS until 2027.

Built by Frasca International Inc., the new Level 7 FTD will provide helicopter pilot trainees and instructors with the most up-to-date flight training simulator available. The Frasca FTD system is the first configuration of its kind in Canada, and is equipped with a 220-degree field of view visual system. The device also incorporates Frasca91裸聊视频檚 proprietary SimAssist鈩 software which provides varying levels of automatic instructor assistance during the earliest phases of helicopter flight training.

91裸聊视频淲e are very pleased to provide cutting edge training systems for the CFTS Program,91裸聊视频 said Peter Fedak, site manager for the CFTS program. 91裸聊视频淚ntroducing devices like the new Bell 206 FTD is one example of how we91裸聊视频檙e continually honing our training system to provide exceptional service, efficiency, and throughput for our Canadian Armed Forces customer.91裸聊视频

The simulator will be installed at the CFTS Training Centre as part of the flight training program led by KF Aerospace Defence Programs and supported by a pan-Canadian team consisting of Bluedrop Training and Simulation, Canadian Helicopters (HNZ) Ltd., and Canadian Base Operators.

Tracy Medve, President of KF Aerospace added, 91裸聊视频淚n addition to enhancing our ability to train emergency and other procedures, the new simulator will yield cost benefits as it will eliminate the need to increase our flying fleet by four aircraft. The new FTD may also be adaptable to the future rotary wing training requirements of DND91裸聊视频檚 FAcT program.91裸聊视频

The CFTS Program trains 100 per cent of the pilot candidates seeking to become Royal Canadian Air Force pilots.

The Bell 206 FTD will begin service with the CFTS program in April of 2018.
