Pilatus Aircraft Ltd is pleased to announce that the first Indian
Air Force Basic Flight Training course using the PC-7 MkII aircraft
commenced, as planned, on July 8, 2013 at the Indian Air Force Academy
at Dundigal, Hyderabad.
The Indian Air Force,
the Indian Ministry of Defence and Pilatus have achieved this
long-awaited and significant milestone as promised and on time.
More
than 80 cadets will participate in this first training course. The
resumption in basic flight training was achieved following delivery of
the fourteenth PC-7 MkII trainer aircraft in June 2013, fourteen months
after contract signature.
In parallel, Pilatus
has also provided training to Indian Air Force maintenance personnel and
instructor pilots and has delivered a complete logistics support
package.
The Pilatus team wishes the
instructors and cadets at the Air Force Academy Dundigal, who are taking
part in this first course, much success. Pilatus is confident that the
introduction of the PC-7 MkII into the Indian Air Force training system
will prove itself to be an extremely capable, safe and reliable training
platform.
Pilatus looks forward to continuing
deliveries of the 75 PC-7 MkII training aircraft to the Indian Air Force
and in supporting the aircraft for the coming years.
