The country’s first and only C-295 full motion simulator has been launched at the Agra Air Force Station. Training related to the C-295 aircraft will be done at the Agra Air Force Station itself. It is equipped with many state-of-the-art facilities.
On this occasion, AOC-in-C, Central Air Command, Air Marshal Ashutosh Dixit inaugurated the Indian Air Force C-295 Full Motion Simulator (FMS) facility in Agra on Monday (November 11).
This simulator enables pilots to train in a nearly realistic environment by simulating multiple missions such as tactical shift, paradropping, paratrooping, medical evacuation and disaster relief. This facility will significantly enhance the operational capability of the C-295 fleet.
State-of-the-art military aircraft simulators enable simulation of high-threat situations that may be encountered in actual operations, thus enabling our pilots to be combat-ready. the pilot to improve his skills in handling high-risk emergencies while taking crucial decisions. This will prove to be helpful in making flying safer in military operations.
A significant part of the pilot’s training can be done in the simulator, saving flight time on the aircraft. The C-295 aircraft is a milestone towards self-reliance in private sector production of transport aircraft in India.
