Army helicopter pilots Cpt. Chris Jones and Chief Warrant Officer Daniel Melogy, HHC 2-151st Security and Support Aviation Battalion (2-151st SSAB), Army National Guard, perform the first, official (logged training hours), training on the newly acquired LUH-72A Lakota Synthetic Flight Training System (SFTS), Army Aviation Support Facility (loc. 2), Donaldson Center, Greenville, South Carolina, September 12, 2017. Each LUH-72A SFTS is comprised of a tractor-trailer containing the LUH-72A flight training device (FTD) with a two-seat cockpit, six Virtual Reality Scene Generators (VRSG licenses), four for out-the-window views and two for sensor views, and a partially collapsible (220° x 60°) fabric dome display. The mobile SFTS provides the ability for the training system to be easily repositioned within a given region, thus enhancing aviation units’ training and sustainment and, ultimately, the performance of Lakota crews. Additionally, the SFTS will enable LUH-72A qualified aviators to maintain proficiency in high-risk tasks. ( Army National Guard Photo by Staff Sgt. Roberto Di Giovine)
