VMTS allows NFOs to train for air-to-air and air-to-ground missions using a synthetic radar that mirrors the capability of the FA-18 Hornet. Strike Fighter NFO training is conducted with VT-86 flying modified T-45C simulators and aircraft which incorporate the Virtual Mission Training System (VMTS). The U.S Navy TC-12B fleet is assigned to squadron VT-35 at NAS Corpus Christi, Texas.ĪEW students learn command and control and air intercept control, and after graduation move on to VAW-120 in Norfolk, Virginia for training in the E-2C or E-2D Hawkeye. The flight compartment contains seating for two pilots and the cabin section contains seating for one aircrew and up to seven passengers. The pressurised fuselage section of the TC-12B is divided into two sections the flight compartment and the cabin section. The flight and cabin compartments are pressurised for high altitude operations and a plug type ground escape hatch is located on the right side of the aircraft at the forward end of the passenger compartment. Other features of the aircraft include a cargo door and high-flotation landing gear. The original UC-12B version is a military derivative of the civilian King Air A200C, powered by a pair of 850SHP Pratt & Whitney PT6A-41 turbo-props. The TC-12B is used for advanced turbo-prop aircraft training and for intermediate E-2/C-2 training. A total of 49 UC-12Bs were ordered by the U.S Navy for base communication flights, with fourteen being converted to the TC-12B crew trainer for VT-31 at Corpus Christi. Moreover, Fréderic Facquer VP of Marketing and Sales Greater China raises the fact that “Thales becomes with Haite and FSL the precursor of such high level training devices on the Chinese market.The Beechcraft TC-12B Huron is a twin-engine, pressurised, fixed-wing monoplane.

As such Thales is proud that Haite has chosen our state of the art simulator to insure the training of Helicopter Pilots in China within a very demanding regulation context.”

The fantastic demand for highly skilled pilots means there is a constant need for the best and most thorough training and simulation systems in the world. Jean Jacques Guittard, VP of Thales Training & Simulation says “China is one of the fastest growing aerospace markets in the world. The simulator will be delivered initially with an EC135 cockpit, Civilian Regulated training + EMS (Emergency Medical Services) + SAR (Search and rescue) use.

The company First State Limited acts as a prime contractor and Haite is a China’s premier aviation enterprise specialising in the simulator training centres operations as well as providing services within aerospace business.
