The first MH-60R avionics maintenance trainer (AMT) built by CAE USA for US Navy has entered for training services at the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training Unit (CNATTU) in Jacksonville, Florida.
The MH-60 AMT avionics and electronics technicians will get demonstration, instruction and also hands-on training on maintaining the MH-60R Romeo helicopter, which is used by the US Navy for anti-submarine warfare and surface attack.
“We are pleased as the US Navy has declared the first CAE-built MH-60R avionics maintenance trainer ready-for-training, the US Navy has now put into service the comprehensive MH-60R Romeo training systems from CAE that are helping pilots, rear crews, and maintenance personnel prepare for mission success," John Lenyo, president and general manager, CAE USA, said in an company news release Tuesday.
The second MH-60R AMT is under production and it will be delivered later this year to US Naval Air Station (NAS) North Island, California. CAE is also responsible for the designing and manufacturing of MH-60R tactical operational flight trainers (TOFT) for the US Navy.

Having seen a Super Stallion up close and personal, I'm partial to it. Holy smokes, is that thing a beast... "The Hurricane Maker", indeed.

Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.
Funny that they could wade through all that verbiage in the article w/o communicating "Blackhawk" to people who were wondering what a/c they were talking about!
