TRU Simulation delivers Beechcraft T-6C Operational Flight Trainer to Tunisian Air Force
The US based simulation and training company has delivered a Beechcraft T-6C Texan II Operational Flight Trainer (OFT) to the Tunisian Air Force. This includes a Computer Based Training (CBT) Lab with eight workstations, two Avionics Desktop Trainings (ADTs) and field services. The OFT will be the first device of its kind within the region and will support flight training needs at the Sfax Air Base in Sfax, Tunisia.
TRU Simulation, an affiliate of Textron Aviation Defence, designs, manufactures and delivers high-fidelity training devices and full-motion simulators for civil and defence users.
“As the first TRU-built Beechcraft T-6C OFT in the region, this marks a significant milestone in TRU Simulation’s commitment to advancing aviation training technology globally,” says Jerry Messaris, vice president and general manager, TRU Simulation.
The Beechcraft T-6C OFT equips pilots with procedural and instrument flight training across multiple scenarios and operations. Device features include a realistic cockpit with real aircraft hardware, a visual system with 70 degrees vertical by 270 degrees horizontal field of view, and a dynamic seat with onset and disturbance queues. The OFT will be used to train pilots and maintenance professionals following the delivery of all eight Beechcraft T-6C Texan II aircraft to the Tunisian Air Force.
