The Kiowa is used by the Australian Army as a lead-in trainer to the Boeing CH-47D Chinook, Tiger armed reconnaissance helicopter and multirole helicopter 90.
Boeing Defence Australia senior manager of AATTS Mark Brownsey said that helicopter simulator training improves overall readiness and provides the army with technically proficient and mission-ready pilots.
The Bell 206B-1 Kiowa helicopter is expected to be delivered before the end of 2011.
Work under the AATTS contract will be provided until the introduction of Australian Defence Force’s Air 9000 phase 7 – helicopter aircrew training system (HATS) project.
