“...In order to ensure a smooth introduction and
through-life employment of the F-35, the UK is
making a major investment in simulation, with
50% of its pilot training planned to be performed
using synthetic environments. Four full mission
simulators will be acquired and installed at RAF
‘COWPIE’ Marham, with other equipment including a
deployable mission trainer also to be purchased.
Throttle The use of advanced synthetic training
devices will allow the UK's F-35 pilots to get the
most out of every live flying hour, one RAF pilot
notes. "When you PIN into the aircraft, if you're
not booked into the training system or don't
have currency on the aircraft, you cannot get
into it and fly it," he adds....” LEAP OF FAITH

“...F-35 is the most complex HOTAS grip system with the highest switch
count of the US fast jet fleet. We were commissioned to create
metal grips, and replace the base mechanisms
with force accurate hardware for
a high fidelity simulation.
