Embraer will provide training solutions for the C-390 Millenium to the Royal Netherlands Air Force. The agreement includes a Full Flight Simulator, and a Cargo Handling Station Trainer developed with Rheinmetall, and also a Computer Based Trainer developed with ETI. Companies expect all solutions to be operational by the end of 2026.
“The C-390 training devices will enable the Royal Netherlands Air Force to prepare and train their missions in a most realistic environment,” said Stefan Klaes, Rheinmetall’s Head of Sales, Aviation Systems.
Also, the Cargo Handling Station Trainer (CHST) will provide comprehensive training in the loadmaster function procedures for flight crews, loadmasters (LMs) and other users. It will make use of visual representation technology to provide an interior view of the cargo hold and an exterior view of the entire aircraft.
Finally, the Computer Based Trainer (CBT) provides theoretical instruction of the aircraft for pilots, loadmasters, additional crew members and maintenance personnel through a Learning Management System compatible with SCORM technology.
The C-390 Millennium can perform a wide range of military and civilian missions such as transport of freight, personnel and vehicles for peace keeping operations, special operations, humanitarian support, medical evacuation, search and rescue, maritime surveillance, firefighting, air to air refueling, and disaster management.
The current fleet of C-390 aircraft in service around the world has accumulated more than 15,000 flight hours, with a mission capability rate of 93% and mission completion rates exceeding 99. Along with the Netherlands, the C-390 has been selected by the Czech Republic, Hungary and Portugal, as well as Austria, Brazil, and South Korea.
