Our huge thanks go to the VT Group and Rick Hand
(also
a PFA inspector) for the expert help in
setting up our propeller. VT Aerospace began as Airwork and has been
associated with the Royal Air Force since 1936 and now provides basic
training with 94 company owned
Grob 115E Tutor aircraft and maintains 70 Tucano aircraft providing
guaranteed aircraft availability of 99.5% of the customer’s sorties.
VT Aerospace also sponsors both the RAF Tucano and
Tutor display teams. VT Aerospace is also pursuing
the maintenance contract of the French Air Force Airbase 209 at Cognac,
near Bordeaux. This has many similarities with the TTSP RAF
Linton-on-Ouse contract, except that the aircraft employed is the EADS
Socata TB30 Epilson, which is used to deliver ab initio, grading, and
intermediate flying training. The Epsilon is also used by the ‘Cartouche
Dorées’ display team.
As a pioneer in
contracterised military flying training, with a pedigree going back to
1936, VT Aerospace feels able to offer cost effective turnkey solutions
based on positive training outcomes.
