Mexican Navy Places Initial Order for Beechcraft T-6C+ Trainers

WICHITA, Kan., March 25, 2014 — Beechcraft Corporation, part of the Textron Aviation segment of Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT), announced today it has received an initial order from the Mexican Navy Secretaría de Marina (SEMAR) for two T-6C+ military trainers. This purchase represents the first step in modernizing the Mexican Navy’s fixed-wing aviation fleet and follows a recent expansion of the Mexican Air Force training fleet to include 12 T-6C+ aircraft. The Navy trainers are scheduled for delivery in the summer of 2014.

In addition to the aircraft, Beechcraft’s Global Mission Support organization is working on a second contract with SEMAR that is expected to include two years of parts support, training for pilots and mechanics, and the placement of Field Service Representatives who will provide technical expertise and training to maintenance personnel.

“We are pleased to expand the reach of the T-6C+ to a second military fleet customer in Mexico with this initial order from the Mexican Navy,” said Russ Bartlett, senior vice president, Defense. “SEMAR not only recognizes the value of a proven, reliable airframe with the T-6C+ in standing up its new training capability, but this selection also acknowledges the significant benefits our Global Mission Support team offers in providing on-the-ground service, support and training for the fielded aircraft.”

The T-6C+ features a hard-point wing, Heads-Up Display, Up-Front Control Panel, an integrated glass cockpit and an advanced Esterline CMC Cockpit 4000 avionics suite that greatly expands advanced training opportunities. The systems are integrated with a Hands-On Throttle and Stick (HOTAS), providing the student pilot and instructor with a simpler interface to the digital cockpit. The CMC Cockpit 4000 avionics suite is the first in its class to incorporate a fully integrated and FAA-certified dual FMS/GPS navigation suite that meets the required navigation performance standards for current worldwide airspace equipment. The open architecture design of the Cockpit 4000 provides the flexibility to expand capabilities and continuously meet current and future training needs.

In addition to accommodating instruction in instrument flight procedures and basic aerial maneuvers, the T-6 delivers world-class training capability that is appropriate for teaching the most basic introductory flight training tasks through the more challenging and complex advanced training missions that could previously be accomplished only in far more expensive jet aircraft. The T-6 has been used to train pilots, navigators, and weapons systems operators from more than 20 countries around the world. To date, Beechcraft has delivered more than 825 T-6 trainers, which have amassed more than 2.2 million flight hour.

ALELUYA!!! ALELUYA!!! Hasta que agarraron la onda estos cabrones.

Estandarizacion de equipos junto con la FAM

Aunque como bien mencionaste Lanceros, se hubieran comprado Aermacchi para la Armada o Zlin para todos (no hay diferencia para el escalón de instrucción y sólo se agregó otro proveedor). Opino que 2 naves apenas y cubren los requisitos para usarlos exclusivamente como entrenadores. Ya entrenados los pilotos, pues no hay aviones que asignarles, fuera de los de transporte o patrulla. El pedido debió haber sido de mínimo 6 (saben que no me gusta la elección del T-6, pero ya decididos, pues hay que hacerlo bien), con opción de otros 6. Así se tienen suficientes para entrenar pilotos y usarlos para intercepción y/o patrulla naval (aunque habría que ordenar versiones completamente navalizadas, en especial en recubrimientos, equipos de seguridad personal, etc). La Armada podría patrullar sola la Sonda de Campeche, partes del Caribe o el Pacífico y la FAM se podría ocupar de lo demás. En todo caso, enhorabuena por seguir el proceso comenzado con los Blackhawks, y que se vayan estandarizando equipos y proveedores.

Si pero aparte estan los Redigo. Y la cuestion es ¿para que tener modelos diferentes? Y el chiste es aprender a volar. En cualquier caso como en la FAM usan Cessnas tambien. Pero en general hay aviones con mejores prestaciones que los Zlin para esa funcion. Pero bueno, no soy un especialista en aviacion Y puedo estar diciendo pendejadas.
