CAE-Built AMT Will Provide Transition And Readiness Training
For Avionics Electronics Techs
The first MH-60R avionics maintenance trainer (AMT) built for
the United States Navy has been declared ready-for-training and
entered service at the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training
Unit (CNATTU) in Jacksonville, FL, CAE USA said Monday.
MH-60R AMT
The MH-60R AMT will now provide transition and readiness
training for MH-60R avionics electronics technicians and be used to
demonstrate, instruct and provide hands-on experience on
maintaining the MH-60R Romeo helicopter, which is used by the Navy
for anti-submarine warfare and surface attack. CAE USA is designing
a second MH-60R AMT that will be delivered later this year to Naval
Air Station (NAS) North Island, California.
"We are pleased the Navy has declared the first CAE-built MH-60R
avionics maintenance trainer ready-for-training," said John Lenyo,
president and general manager, CAE USA. "The Navy now has put into
service comprehensive MH-60R Romeo training systems from CAE that
are helping pilots, rear crews, and maintenance personnel prepare
for mission success."
MH-60R TOFT
CAE USA is also the prime contractor responsible for the design
and manufacture of MH-60R tactical operational flight trainers
(TOFT) for the US Navy. The MH-60R TOFT includes both an MH-60R
operational flight trainer for training pilots and an MH-60R
weapons tactics trainer for training sensor operators and airborne
tactics officers. The two training devices can operate
independently or networked to provide a total aircrew mission
training system. CAE has already delivered two MH-60R TOFTs to the
US Navy, and will deliver a third MH-60R TOFT later this year.
