New School

The new ADF pilot training system aims to do more with less thanks to new aircraft and advanced simulation.

In 2010, a Pilatus Owned Pc- 21 Performed Above the Crowd at the Point Cook Air Pageant, Performing a Spirited Display That the Company Hoped Would Help Influence the Outcome of Air 5428, the Adf’s New Holistic Pilot Training System.

Pilatus Might Have Waited. The Announcement of a Preferred Tenderer Would Not Be for Another Five Years, Instead Made in Early September This Year After a Toilsome Nine Year Process. Some Indication of the Exhaustive Scope of Air 5428 May Be Derived From the Fact That Its Request for Tender Document Ran to Nearly 4,000 Pages (Its Singaporean Equivalent Reportedly Clocked in at Just 50). There Was Thus Much at Stake for the Two Remaining Bidders, One of Which Was to Be Keenly Disappointed by the Decision Announced at East Sale on September 6.
