AMF-S coming to CAFB in August

The first class of Air Force pilots to complete the Air Mobility Fundamentals-Simulator Course logged their final day of training May 5 at Vance AFB, Okla. 

The 14 aviators, who earned their wings here Jan. 6 flying T-6A Texan IIs in Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT), are the first full class to complete a simulator-only follow-on curriculum

The goal of AMF-S is to teach pilots slated for mobility, special operations forces, command and control, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, core competencies in crew resource management, autopilot, automation operations, one-engine inoperative and flight management systems to prepare pilots for follow-on training in their selected airframes. 

AMF-S also serves to provide the intermediate training phase between T-6A training and the complex multi-engine and multi-crew environments for about 900 student pilots that train within the Air Education and Training Command before transitioning to formal training units. 

It's the first of three UPT bases to scale AMF-S with Columbus AFB, Miss., and Laughlin AFB (Texas) following suit. At Columbus AFB devices are scheduled to be delivered in August.
