HAVELSAN Develops Troubleshooting Training Simulator for F-16 Fighters

摘要

Turkish firm HAVELSAN have been developing maintenance and fault diagnosis simulators for F-16 aircraft. In the first phase of the F16 simulator supply project of the Presidency of Defence Industries (SSB), full mission simulators and weapon and tactics instructors were delivered to the air force command by HAVELSAN for combat preparedness training for pilots. Within this scope, HAVELSAN provides a one-of-a-kind unique simulator infrastructure, with six full mission simulators and 20 weapon and tactics instructors across six different main jet base commands. Meanwhile, the F-16 troubleshooting training simulator (TTS) was produced in the second phase of the project to detect the aircraft failures at the earliest and render the aircraft operational. HAVELSAN engineers worked together with aircraft maintenance training instructors employed at the F-16 technical training centre within the Muerted Airport Command, and identified the failures that are seen the most, and are the most difficult to detect among F-16 failures. About 1,000 failures were simulated within the scope of TTS.
