Air Marshal Ashutosh Dixit inaugurates IAF C-295 Full Motion Simulator facility in Agra
Air Marshal Ashutosh Dixit, AOC-in-C CAC inaugurated the IAF C-295 Full Motion Simulator (FMS) facility on November 11 at Air Force Station Agra.
A significant proportion of the pilot's training can be undertaken in the simulator thereby saving precious flying hours on the aircraft.
The state of the art simulator enables the pilots to train in near realistic environment by simulating various missions like tactical airlift, para-dropping, para-trooping, medical evacuation, disaster relief and also enables simulation of several critical situations that can be encountered in actual operations, ensuring that our pilots are battle ready.
It will allow pilots to hone their skills in handling high risk emergencies that require time critical decisions, thereby enhancing the overall flight safety of military operations.
The induction of C-295 aircraft into IAF will give a fillip to the aerospace ecosystem of the country, marking the beginning of "Atmanirbhar Bharat" in private sector production of transport aircraft in India.
