Helicopter operations training with Navy's new Augusta A109E
07 April 2008
The Navy has leased three Agusta Westland A109E helicopters from Raytheon Australia Pty Ltd for a period of four years.
This leasing initiative provides Navy with a flexible arrangement to continue to grow and train aircrew while providing support to the Fleet and the remainder of the Navy.
The Navy has been successful in increasing the number of qualified junior aircrew who will now spend more time in the A109E maintaining skills while they wait for further operational flight training opportunities in other Navy helicopters.
The versatile A109E aircraft will be utilised for a range of activities including, consolidating flying skills, supporting fleet training, search and rescue, medical evacuation and personnel transfers.
