Industry Study on Advanced European Jet Pilot Training submitted
Munich / Venegono, 05 April 2004
On March 30th 2004, representatives from the twelve AEJPT (Advanced European Jet Pilot Training) member Air Forces (Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland) met in Aermacchi, Venegono with the European G5 industry consortium for a two-days Final Presentation of the AEJPT Eurotraining Feasibility Study. This was reported by EADS as a member of the G5 consortium.
The Eurotraining Feasibility Study, commissioned to the European industry in December 2002, and concluded on the 6th of March 2004, had the objective to define possible solutions and their life cycle costs for an integrated AEJPT system. The Eurotraining project features the ambitious vision of a major step forward in the joint flying training of future fighter pilots in Europe while also strengthening European co-operation in defense and industry.
The Eurotraining Feasibility Study enjoyed a real multi national, multi companies environment. Five companies jointly led and conducted the Study: Aermacchi, Dassault Aviation, EADS-CASA, EADS Deutschland and Saab. This consortium was supported by a large number of other aerospace companies based in the twelve participating nations.
The twelve European Air Forces will now enter into a comprehensive evaluation of the Study results which will eventually lead to the decision for the follow-on phases.
During this imminent evaluation phase and in expectation of the positive evolution toward the implementation of the Eurotraining programme, the G5 consortium will maintain its full commitment to the programme and its readiness in supporting the potential Customers.
