superbigbig Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Is it possible to retain Flight Engineer (FE) and Navigator (NAV) positions in a modified C-130H with an updated Flight Management System (FMS)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1dp Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Not sure which FMS mod., but would imagine that system would have no effect on FE controls and mission needs would require a nav at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigbig Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) Thanks for your response, I have seen in the US Air Force News that FE seats are still maintained. Edited November 21, 2023 by superbigbig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorp1 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 We have the Rockwell-Collins Flight 2 equipment in one of our simulators. We have been training with multiple customers who operate this system in their C-130 aircraft for about the last five years. The operators who had navigators kept them. All the operators have flight engineers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
