L3Harris has been recognised in the New Year Honours List for its Multi-Engine Pilot Training Team, made up of L3Harris, Royal Air Force (RAF) and Civil Service personnel, which has delivered bespoke training for over 100 RAF pilots despite demanding timelines and ongoing Covid-19 pandemic restrictions.
Established in 2018, the Multi-Engine Pilot Training Team was set up in collaboration with the RAF to meet an increased defence requirement for multi-engine pilots. Since then, the training course delivered by L3Harris has outputted 86 multi-engine pilots and 15 remotely piloted air system pilots to front-line Operational Conversion Units, successfully meeting the agreed front-line requirements in terms of timing and standard.
The training course was completed on time, despite the significant challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, which resulted in flying training activity being temporarily paused in late March 2020. Following implementation of Covid-19 protocols, operations at the L3Harris Bournemouth Academy was authorised and training recommenced on 11 May 2020, providing a much-needed flow of pilots to the RAF front-line.
Recognition on the New Year Honours List is testament to the Whole Force effort, which delivered outstanding training and ensured a much-needed output to the RAF front-line at a time of increased demand and reduced supply through the most challenging of environments in the midst of a global pandemic.
The New Year Honours is a part of the British honours system, with New Year's Day being marked by naming new members of orders of chivalry and recipients of other official honours for achievements and service across the United Kingdom.
