A Look At The Airbus A330 MRTT: The Military Version Of The A330-200 #Aviation

The Qatar Emiri Air Force operate 24 Pilatus Aircraft Ltd PC-21 advanced training aircraft. These 24 aircraft provide the primary and advanced training for all QEAF pilots prior to their operational conversion onto type. From the 2010s Qatar has committed to an extensive military expansion and modernisation program that has seen the Air Force grow from an inventory of 12 older combat aircraft and a few fighter trainers to a current inventory of over 60 modern multirole fighter aircraft, with another 60-plus on order. Modern attack helicopters and strategic and tactical airlift platforms round out the force, with aerial refueling platforms also on order. The point being, the Qatar Armed Forces is a well-equipped sovereign force, responsible for defence against external threats. Part of that investment includes the systems behind the platforms, such as the Pilatus Training System, and Ocean Software's FlightPRO. Systems that can generate effective combat capability as quickly as possible - providing better, safer, faster, stronger flight training and operations, with reduced risk. #pilottraining #airforce #aviation

Impressive piloting skills in an impressive aircraft!

💥 That moment when you rip the covers off of the thing you've been working on and announce it to the outside world! Having spent the last decade translating my cockpit skills and experience into the business world - helping other crew to do the same was something I dreamed of. The impact of the last few years on the aviation industry has brought that need front and center and today, Crews Climb International is a reality!! Having teamed up with Shawn Hill and Russell Tait, whose perspectives and strengths have been invaluable, we're able to announce the official launch of this passion project that brings together our collective experience, love for aviation, and a desire to give back to the aviation community. Crews Climb is more than just a project; it's a culmination of our journey, insights, and the invaluable lessons we've learned throughout our professional lives. As pilots and aviation enthusiasts ourselves, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with a career in the skies. Now, we're on a mission to empower aircrew globally, helping them leverage their skills beyond the cockpit to reinforce their futures. Whether you're still flying, planning a career shift, or navigating uncertainties, our programs are designed to redefine your value, identify new opportunities, and chart a powerful course for your future.

Join us on Saturday 6th April for the 2024 Young Aviators Dinner, held at the Royal Air Force Club, Piccadilly. Jointly hosted together with the The Honourable Company Of Air Pilots, the evening will commence at 7.00pm with a welcome reception in the Churchill Bar, followed by a three-course dinner in the Sovereigns’ room. The Young Aviators Dinner has a continued interest to inspire and support young members from any background in the UK to pursue a career as a military or civilian pilot, or similar roles within the UK’s aviation and aerospace industries. This is a unique event for those looking at a career within aviation and aerospace and gives members of both organisations the opportunity to network and meet airline and military recruiters and representatives. We will welcome recruitment representatives and flight operation representatives from various airlines and the military. The format of seating arrangements has been improved this year with a new system placing those with similar desired career paths together, with the aim of sparking productive conversation and advice. Each table will feature an experienced representative of a different area of aviation, including commercial, cargo, general aviation, air traffic control, and ground operations. When registering attendance, Members are required to choose their preferred table. Tickets are now available for Members of both the Air League and the Honourable Company of Air Pilots, priced at £55 each. Members are entitled to bring on guest each, priced at £65 each.

GainJet Aviation had the honour and privilege to host the Hellenic National Military Airworthiness Agency (HNMAA) in a two-day training event with OSAC l Aviation & Sécurité. The HNMAA delegation led by Hellenic Navy Captain (OF-5) Stefanos Kozadinos had the opportunity to familiarise itself with the civil aviation airworthiness schemes and exchange ideas with our engineering team. GainJet Aviation is a leading worldwide operator holder of FAA, EASA and OTAR approvals with vast experience in initial and continuous airworthiness certification schemes. More and more civil and military aviation authorities are closing the gap under the umbrella of European Defence Agency. The HNMAA and the implementation of EMARs (European Military Airworthiness Requirements) suggest an effort to bridge the gap between civil and military aviation in terms of airworthiness standards. It reflects the importance of such regulations in fostering a smoother alignment between civil and military airworthiness practices, ultimately benefiting both sectors. This will ensure that airworthiness standards meet the evolving needs of civil and military aviation in the EU member states. This kind of harmonisation can increase efficiency, safety, and interoperability in the European aviation market.

An article written by Huseyin FAZLA, PhD Why were Air Force Demonstration Flights Banned in 1962? In 1952, the transition of the Turkish Air Force to the jet age and this great modernisation created excitement throughout the country. The Turkish Air Force aircraft, which are the source of pride of the Turkish nation and the guarantee of the continuity of peace, started to perform aerobatic shows in teams with the new Turkish jets, "the voice of freedom". https://lnkd.in/d3e5bDPZ #aviation
