The RAN
aircrew and maintainers began training at the U.S. Navy’s schoolhouse
at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Florida, in spring 2013. The RAN returned
to its newly constructed Seahawk Simulation and Warfare Centre after completion
in March with its first TOFT, as well as an Avionics Maintenance Trainer/Weapons
Load Trainer. A second TOFT is scheduled for delivery in 2016 along with
four more maintenance and part-task trainers scheduled over the next several
years. The RAN selected the U.S. Navy’s MH-60R Seahawk in 2011 as its new anti-submarine/anti-surface warfare helicopter after seeking to replace its existing S-70B-2 Seahawk helicopters. The MH-60R training devices are used to train pilots, co-pilots and sensor operators in the complete range of missions flown by the MH-60R Seahawk helicopter. |
