Treinamento Conjunto
Enviado: Sáb Nov 22, 2008 10:54 pm
O maior e melhor exemplo do mundo.
Treinamento conjunto em três níveis diferentes (elementar, helicóptero básico e jato básico) mantidos e operados por três forças diferentes sem o menor problema. É realmente de se emocionar, não é?![[032]](./images/smilies/032.gif)
Algum dia teremos algo do tipo no Brasil???
Elementary Flying Training - EFT
The Defence Elementary Flying Training School - DEFTS
DEFTS was established in July 2003 as a Military Flying School for Army and Royal Navy student pilots. It comprises of 703 Naval Air Squadron and 674 Squadron, Army Air Corps and is supported by a civilian contract with Babcock plc. The School uses a fleet of civil registered Slingsby Firefly T67M 260 basic trainers.
Naval pilots complete 60 hrs of elementary flying training on the Firefly at RAF Barkston Heath, a satellite airfield of RAF Cranwell. Whilst on course they train under 703 NAS. On completion of the course the future helicopter pilots move on to the Defence Helicopter Flying School at RAF Shawbury. Those streamed for Harrier training join their RAF counterparts at RAF Linton-on-Ouse to fly the Tucano. If successful here they will then pass on to RAF Valley to fly the Hawk trainer.
The EFT syllabus consists of instrument flying, navigation including a cross-country land-away, aerobatics, formation and low level flying (Army students skip out aerobatics and formation flying and only fly a 40 hour course). The instructors are a mixture of civilians and serving officers from the Navy, Army and RAF.
Slingsby Firefly T67M260
The Slingsby Firefly is a conventional low-wing, two-seat training aircraft with a fixed tricycle undercarriage. It is powered by a 260 hp Textron lycoming engine driving a constant-speed, composite three-bladed propeller. Instructor and pupil sit side-by-side and, with a full fuel load, training flights of up to three hours duration can be achieved. The aircraft is fully aerobatic.
Defence Helicopter Flying School - DHFS
Prior to commencing flying, Navy, Army and RAF students attend 3-weeks of ground school studies, which includes studies in helicopter principles of flight, meteorology and navigation, and related technical subjects. Students are thus prepared for their 35-hour single-engine basic flying course on the Squirrel HT1. The basic syllabus includes techniques such as hovering and circuits, and advanced exercises which include engine-off landings, low flying and limited power.
After completing the basic 8-week course students then move on to the advanced single-engine phase with 705 Naval Air Squadron, commanded by a Royal Navy Lieutenant-Commander. The advanced single-engine course develops basic flying skills and introduces students to instrument and low level flying, navigation, landing in confined areas and night flying.
Mountain Flying Mountain Flying RAF students move on to their multi-engine training after 5 weeks, while Army students complete 9 weeks training before they leave to start their Operational Training Phase at Middle Wallop. Royal Navy students, however, continue their training with 705 Sqn to cover formation flying, winch training and mountain flying to complete 45 hours over 11 weeks.
705 Sqn is also responsible for a number of other courses such as aircraft conversion, refresher, navigator and crewman lead-in and Harrier pilot hovering familiarisation.
Squirrel HT1
The Squirrel HT1 is a single-engine light training helicopter operated by DHFS. It is powered by the Ariel 1D1 gas turbine engine, which drives a conventional 3-blade main rotor and a twin-blade tail rotor.
As a basic trainer it provides an excellent lead-in to helicopter pilots of the 3 Services who must have already completed their elementary fixed wing aircraft training. The Squirrel HT1 is also used on the advanced single-engine phase as students prepare for the complexities of twin-engine helicopter training and operational flying.
Basic Fast Jet Training - BFJT
A year long Basic Fast Jet Training (BFJT) Course at RAF Linton-On-Ouse, flying the Tucano, expands on all the elements taught on the Firefly whilst also introducing you to some of the techniques required to fly a front line Fast Jet. On completion you gain your wings - a day in your life you are unlikely to forget.
After BFJT, you will find yourself in North Wales at RAF Valley where you start Advanced Flying Training flying the Hawk. In about 60 hours you become proficient at flying the Jet, then move to the Advanced Tactical Training and Weapons Unit where you start learning to fight your aircraft.
Finally after almost 4 years you are now ready to join Joint Force Harrier and begin flying the Harrier at 20(R) Squadron at RAF Wittering for Operational Flying Training (OFT). During the course you are taught how to use the Harrier GR7 in its role as a single seat, precision ground attack and reconnaissance aircraft, learning how to operate the Harrier and its weapon system to their best advantage.
Successful completion of OFT marks the end of nearly 5 years of training; you are now ready to join your first front-line Squadron (800 or 801) based at RAF Cottesmore, operating the GR7A/9A from land, or from the sea in one of the Royal Navy's Invincible class Aircraft Carriers.
In the next decade the Harrier is set to be replaced by the Future Joint Combat Aircraft (FJCA). and you will be perfectly placed to continue your career in the Fleet Air Arm flying this awesome new aircraft from one of the Royal Navy's two new Future Carriers.
