Memorandum Of Understanding Signed For Cooperation In Training
For New Pilots
The Civil Aviation University of China (CAUC) will work with
Eurocopter for ab-initio pilot training activities under a
Memorandum of Understanding announced Tuesday. This agreement
– which was unveiled at Airshow China 2010 in Zhuhai –
will result in an intensification of training for future helicopter
pilots, and will lead to the establishment of a working group to
determine a timeline for different areas of cooperation.
Ab-initio training involves the preparation of pilots from the
start, utilizing students who have no previous helicopter flight
experience. It enables a new generation of pilots to enter training
that readies them for a professional helicopter aviation
career.
“This agreement will allow China to establish a resource
of qualified helicopter pilots and consolidate the local
infrastructure for rotary-wing operations,” said Wu Tongshui,
President of CAUC. “We are very honored to be part of this
initiative, which constitutes a win-win solution for both our
university and Eurocopter.”
CAUC is a Tianjin-based national university, and is one of the
largest aviation training schools under the authority of the Civil
Aviation Authority of China (CAAC). It was established in 1951 to
provide civil aviation education and training for new pilots in
China.
“For Eurocopter, teaming up with a renowned university and
established pilot school in China will enable us to discover high
calibre students and future helicopter pilots,” added
Philippe Crespo, Eurocopter’s Vice President of Training
Services. “Identifying this talent from the start will help
us better accompany local helicopter operators and contribute to
the development of the Chinese aviation industry, while ensuring
the highest levels of safety.
