ATD represents a new era in aviation training, where the boundaries between different aviation disciplines are seamlessly connected to prepare personnel for the complex challenges of modern aviation.

LIVE FLYING TRAINING

Live flying training is undeniably costly. Getting it right first time, every time, is the only route to success.

Helicopter live flying training

Using experienced ex-military operators equipped to work in the most high-pressured of situations, we provide bespoke, scalable training solutions.

With the capability to effectively support military, emergency service or civilian clients worldwide, our operationally experienced instructors deliver live flying training tailored to the requirements of our customers. Our team currently delivers training on the Wildcat helicopter platform, with extensive experience on Apache.

Project TIQUILA

Our RPAS experts have delivered operational and maintenance training for portable and packable mini drones in support of Project TIQUILA.

Subcontracted through Lockheed Martin, our team supplied training needs analysis, training design and training delivery services to British Army uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) instructors to ensure that new UAS capabilities are maximised by users.

Our instructors

Since 2016, Inzpire has provided three Civilian Qualified Helicopter Instructors (CQHI) to the British Army Air Corps (AAC) WILDCAT AH Mk 1 Reconnaissance Helicopter (RH) Conversion to Type (CTT) and Conversion to Role (CTR) programmes.

Our CQHIs have contributed to the training of over 100 pilots and 40 rear crew while supporting the worldwide deployment of the WILDCAT AH Mk 1.

GROUND TRAINING

Ground training is the foundation of a successful flying training system.

Belgian MoD case study

Our team delivers ground-school and helicopter tactics ground instruction to the UK Armed Forces and several European nations through the Multinational Helicopter Training Centre, utilising the latest techniques to deliver immersive training.

Ground training doesn’t stop once the aircrew have qualified.

We believe in a continuous learning process throughout the aircrew lifecycle, reinforcing basic lessons and helping individuals continue their development to reach their full potential.

Designed by tactics instructors with unparalleled operational flying experience and capabilities, our tactical helicopter training uses up-to-date inputs from current global operations to enhance our customers’ understanding of the battlespace.

Both our Tactical Air Operations Course and Composite Air Operations: Supporting Helicopters Course are packed with the critical information required to improve students’ knowledge of tactical helicopter operations.

These data-rich courses can be delivered at a location to suit the customer and can be adapted to suit audience requirements – with a range of theory and practical modules available.

Our team are experts in all aspects of the intelligence cycle and RPAS operations within both military and civilian sectors, having delivered UAS operational concepts to the Belgian MoD.

This course provided multi-domain training to personnel involved in UAS procurement, giving students the skills and knowledge to make strategic decisions. Through theory and practical exercises, we provided students with the critical knowledge of ISR process from an operational perspective.

SYNTHETIC TRAINING

As technology progresses, more training needs to be conducted within the synthetic environment, enabling aircrew to familiarise themselves with increasingly sophisticated aircraft.

Our engineers design and develop simulations and products tailored to operational requirements. This includes small, cost-effective simulators, through to the integration of larger simulation systems.

Our team possesses a wealth of experience across a broad spectrum of systems – including providing Chinook Mk6 training at RAF Odiham and synthetic training support to the Multinational Helicopter Training Centre (MHTC) – meaning our knowledge is adaptable to all aspects of rotary aviation.

tactics training for the MHTC

Our helicopter services team instructs over 20 European nations at the MHTC in Sintra, Portugal. This training culminates in an intensive assessed simulator package, ensuring the standard of instruction is satisfactory prior to the flying phase.

CASE UAS

CASE UAS

We can also teach individuals how to operate UAS systems using our Compact Agile Simulation Equipment for Uncrewed Aerial Systems (CASE UAS).

CASE UAS is a mixed-reality, small-medium uncrewed aerial systems simulator that brings drone operations into a virtual battlespace.
