Part Task Trainers
Practice and master skills or procedures without real-world risks.
The primary purpose of part task trainers is to provide learners with a safe and controlled environment to practice and master specific skills or procedures without the risks associated with real-world scenarios. These trainers replicate a specific part or aspect of a larger system or procedure, allowing learners to focus on developing and refining their abilities in a targeted and controlled manner.

Helicopter Maintenance Trainer
The Helicopter Maintenance Trainer is a freestanding helicopter trainer enabling students to carry out practical training by performing standard maintenance procedures associated with rotary wing aircraft. There are a multitude of systems which the students can carry out functional testing, fault diagnosis and remove / install procedures. Formerly known as Basic Helicopter Maintenance Trainer (BHMT).
Key features:
- Airframe structure with easily visible cockpit area
- Gas Turbine Engine
- Main Rotor and Tail Rotor Transmission
- Rotors flight control system, visible during operation
- Hydraulic power supply providing flight control via assisted servo actuators
- Electrical supplies
- Generic glass cockpit featuring electronic flight instrument display
- Replicated stand-by analogue flight instruments
- Practical tasks using manuals, standard tools and test equipment
- Instructor operating station to provide control, monitor activity and input faults
- Includes Ground Support Equipment and Specialist tools
Integrated Avionics Maintenance Trainer
The Integrated Avionics Maintenance Trainer is an aircraft structure with a full size cockpit, with unglazed canopy, representative of a military aircraft combining modern digital displays with older analogue gauges to enable the student to experience a range of aviation technologies.
The cockpit utilises a common generic structure containing aircraft-specific fixtures and fittings for the LRUs in order to facilitate psycho-motor dependant training tasks. The trainer design is modular with each piece of simulated hardware presenting to the user an aircraft-like physical interface and containing an embedded I/O module to handle communication with the remotely executing software emulation to maximise flexibility of use and commonality of design.
Key features:
- Cockpit displays, controls and LRUs
- Ejection seat and safety devices
- Replaceable avionics LRUs and equipment housed within realistic avionic bays
- Ruggedised tablet to connect virtual test equipment to the aircraft system emulations
- Instructor Operating Station enabling Integrated Training Management System (ITMS)
- IOS Cockpit display repeater screens
- Ability to Insert/Remove faults and conduct After Action Reviews
Generic Flying Controls Trainer
The Generic Flying Controls Trainer, often known as GenFly, is a facsimile airframe to enable fast, realistic, effective training and to impart a thorough understanding of the principles and practices related to aircraft hydraulic, landing gear and flying control maintenance.
Key features:
- A modular open frame structure
- Representative cockpit incorporating controls and indicators
- Control surfaces and landing gear activated by electro-mechanical system
- Use of commercially available components to minimise life-cycle costs
- Up to 69 practical tasks & 73 simulate faults
Generic Stores Loading Trainer
The Generic Stores Loading Trainer is a generic part task trainer designed to train students in carrying out procedures for loading and unloading stores in a safe environment. The trainer comprises a fixed wing installation on the one side of the trainer and a rotary wing installation on the other.
Key features:
- Fixed wing installation (load, remove and install tasks)
- Rotary wing installation (load, remove and install tasks)
- Dummy Weapons: Air to Air Missile, Air to Ground, Laser Guided Bomb, Torpedo & Depth charge
- Instructors console for scenario setting and injection of faults
- Animated schematics for observation of weapon system control circuits
- Supplied with test equipment and Ground Support Equipment
- Supplied Technical Publications
