First Turbomeca Training Courses Delivered by the Swedish Armed Forces Training School

Turbomeca (Safran) and the Swedish Armed Forces Training School announce the first training courses were successfully performed.

These courses are the result of an agreement signed in March 2012 between Turbomeca Germany, Turbomeca Training Center, the Swedish Armed Forces Training School and the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV).

This agreement launched the cooperation for training of Turbomeca’s Arrius 2K2 level 1 and level 2 maintenance courses, to be performed by a Swedish Armed Forces trainer in Sweden, today EASA part 147 licensed.

This trainer benefits today from Turbomeca training methods, based on the continuous reinforcement of acquired skills.

This is a fundament for a robust operation of the 20 AW109 LUHS equipped with the Arrius 2K2 wherever and whenever training for a high quality maintenance is needed.

Swedish Air Force is performing training in Sweden with their helicopters, and also operations in the antipiracy missions at the horn of Africa.
