The course of the two new pilots enabled on the T-346A aircraft also allowed to test all ground systems, from ground school to simulation systems, and developed through an instructional program consisting of missions carried out on the PTT simulator (Part Task Trainer) and FMS (Full Mission Simulator) and basic and advanced flight missions using the ETTS (Embedded Tactical Training System).
The T-346A, unlike other trainers, is a system composed of a training "suite" that contributes to the so-called ITS, Integrated Training System. Through this new training concept, the training of pilots for 4th and 5th generation aircraft is radically transformed through the possibility of training in complex scenarios (air-to-air, air-to-ground and electronic warfare) and to confront an aircraft. with avionic and aerodynamic performance comparable to the aircraft of operational departments The result is a very high "exit level" with a training "download" characterized by a very low cost-effectiveness ratio.
The phase-in of the T-346A will continue with the training of other instructor pilots and with the development of "syllabus" and training manuals for the "air to air", "air to ground" and "swing role" roles.
The introduction of the T-346A ITS system and the professional technical background of the Stormo, make the Galatina flight school the center of excellence for advanced training and tactics for military flight in Europe and internationally.
