Tenders are
about to be sought for a new military pilot training capability says Defence
Minister Dr Jonathan Coleman.
“The
requirement for a modernised pilot training system with suitable aircraft is
clear and Cabinet has agreed to the next step in the process with the Ministry
of Defence to issue a Request for Tender.
Pilot
training is currently conducted using the single engine CT-4E Airtrainers for
the primary stage and the twin engine turbo-prop King Air B200s for the
advanced stage of the “Wings Course”.
The service
life of the current CT-4Es is due to end in 2018 and the King Air B200s lease
expires in 2018.
“The tender
being offered is to supply a new permanent pilot training capability including
aircraft (leased or owned), a simulator package, and a maintenance and support
package, said Dr Coleman.
“We have
invested in a modern generation of new and upgraded aircraft and helicopters.
The Air Force’s entire operational fleet is being replaced or upgraded
including modern avionics and cockpits. The tools to develop the flying
standards of our trainee pilots are also required.”
“Cabinet’s
eventual decision on aircraft types and ownership and maintenance options will
be assessed against pricing comparisons and the ability to meet technical and
performance requirements,” he said.
A Request
for Information from Industry was held this year and the formal tender by the
Ministry of Defence will be issued in the next few days. Cabinet is expected to
consider the tender options in the latter half of next year when it receives an
Implementation Business Case.
