Army air crew training revamp to look at aircraft and simulators
After several fatal Army aircraft crashes and the arrival of a more complicated airspace in the future, the service is reviewing and updating how it trains its pilots and its warrant officers in particular.
Those changes will likely include a look at the types of helicopters soldiers are training with, simulator time and effectiveness, new rotor blades and tail rotor drive systems for the Apache and warrant officers sticking to their technical tasks for longer in the careers.
Fourteen soldiers have died in 10 Class A aviation mishaps since October 2023.
That's more than double the mishap annual average over the past decade, Brig. Gen. Matthew Braman, Army headquarters aviation representative, said at an Association of the U.S. Army event on Wednesday.
