Loverie Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Poland received several C-130 from the USAF, does anybody know where the Polish C-130 crews are doing their simulator training ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jansen Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Flight simulator, classroom and maintenance training was conducted at Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas. Actual flight training was conducted in Nashville by the 118th Airlift Wing, a unit of the Tennessee Air National Guard. Each Polish C-130E is operated by a crew of 5 Airmen; Pilot, Co-Pilot, Navigator, Flight Engineer, and Loadmaster. The plan is for 15 crews totalling 75 personnel.

Loverie Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 thanks for the info, very interesting. What will happen after all the crews are trained, will they continue to use the simulator at Little Rock or maybe move to Tampa ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jansen Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 They will probably use Tampa for training eventually once all the USAF birds are AMPed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loverie Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 I was thinking they were going to use the C-130 simulator at CAE Center Brussels. Maybe the USAF is paying for those guys sim trg in Tampa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jansen Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I think the Brussels center is for civilian pilot training, whereas Tampa has training facilities for military aircrew as well as pilots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loverie Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 They have a C-130 simulator and most of the custumors are military, Thai, Greek, Israeli Air Froce and several more Strange that Polen would go to Tampa while Brussels is just behind their corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jansen Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 They have a C-130 simulator and most of the custumors are military, Thai, Greek, Israeli Air Froce and several more Strange that Polen would go to Tampa while Brussels is just behind their corner Sabena is a flight academy, whereas Tampa is for full aircrew training. That means: "Instructor-led academic and simulator training available to the entire aircrew for initial, conversion, and recurrent training. Aircraft commander/pilot in command Co-pilot/first pilot Flight engineer Loadmaster Instructor pilot/flight engineer Maintenance training is available for troubleshooting and repair of a range of aircraft systems, including: Airframe/structural repair Fuel tank systems Environmental systems Hydraulics and pneumatics T-56 engine and propellers Electrical and avionics systems" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
