TRU Simulation + Training Hits Milestones in Relation to King Air
TRU Simulation + Training has succeeded in hitting some milestones that will benefit King Air owners and operators.
In its recently opened East Coast Part 142 satellite pilot training center, ProFlight®, a subsidiary of TRU Simulation + Training, has received FAA qualification for its King Air 350i Level D Full Flight Simulator and pilot training programs. The pilot training programs for the new production Beechcraft turboprop provide initial type-rating and an introduction course on the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics package, as well as recurrent and FAR part 135 training. ProFlight instruction combines use of the King Air 350i full motion flight simulator and proprietary Level 6 flight training device for enhanced avionics training capability in a modern classroom setting that incorporates interactive animated courseware for all aircraft systems. ProFlight is the first pilot training center to offer instruction on the new Pro Line Fusion equipped King Air 350i aircraft.
The new TRU Simulation + Training Aviation Maintenance Academy opened its modern Part 147 training center in December of last year. The 35,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art facility combines traditional classroom and hands-on aircraft maintenance instruction in a climate-controlled environment – both inside the classroom and in the adjacent hangar space. The schoolhouse design, curriculum, high technology courseware, and part task trainers reflect TRU’s extensive experience providing aviation maintenance training for the military, as well as feedback gained from civil aviation technicians working in the field today.
Currently, mechanical and avionics maintenance theory and practical courses are being offered for Beechcraft new production King Air 350i turboprops with the Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics package. The TRU Simulation + Training Aviation Maintenance Academy is the first to offer training on this new production aircraft. In early 2016, the Academy plans to offer additional courses that include mechanical and avionics theory and practical training for the Beechcraft King Air 250 and C90GTx turboprops.
