The MH-60R Seahawk is a multi-mission helicopter used by the United States Navy and other armed forces around the world for anti-submarine warfare (ASW), anti-surface warfare (ASuW), search and rescue (SAR), naval gunfire support (NGFS), surveillance, communications relay, and logistics support.
FOCUS
AREAS
Cockpit Familiarization
Learning the layout and function of all cockpit controls, displays, and instruments.
Start-up and Shutdown Procedures
Training on the correct sequence of actions to safely start and shut down the helicopter’s engines and systems.
System Management
Operating the helicopter’s navigation, communication, and mission-specific systems, such as sonar for ASW or radar for surveillance.
Emergency Procedures
Practicing responses to potential emergency situations, including system failures, engine fires, or hydraulic failures, to ensure readiness and safety.
Mission Planning and Execution
Training on the correct sequence of actions to safely start and shut down the helicopter’s engines and systems.
KEY FEATURES
High-Fidelity Replica
Exact replicas of the helicopter’s cockpit and mission stations, providing realistic interaction with controls and instruments.
Touchscreen Displays
To simulate various systems and functions, allowing for interactive training on system management and mission tasks.
Scenario-Based Training
Software that simulates different flight and mission scenarios, enabling crew members to practice and master procedures in a variety of conditions.
Integrated Debriefing Systems
Tools to review and analyze trainee performance, highlighting areas for improvement and reinforcing learning outcomes.
KEY BENEFITS
Safety
Allows trainees to practice procedures in a risk-free environment, reducing the potential for accidents during early stages of learning.
Cost-Effectiveness
Reduces the need for actual aircraft usage for training, saving on fuel, maintenance, and wear and tear.
Availability
Can be used anytime, regardless of weather conditions or aircraft availability, improving training efficiency and flexibility.
Scalability
Training scenarios and procedures can be tailored to meet specific training needs and updated as missions evolve or new systems are introduced.
A procedural trainer for the MH-60R or any other specification would be an essential tool in the training arsenal, providing crew members with the knowledge and skills needed to operate the helicopter effectively and safely, focusing on the mastery of procedural knowledge and decision-making skills critical to mission success.
