Swiss Air Force Marks Decade of Successful Pilot Training with Pilatus PC-21

The Swiss Air Force celebrated the tenth anniversary of the Pilatus PC-21 Jet Pilot Training System, marking a decade of successful pilot training. Pilatus has provided support for the system from day one and is responsible for aircraft maintenance and servicing. The PC-21 display layout and systems are presented in a way that mirrors what pilots will find in the latest generation of fighter jets. This allows them to familiarise themselves with a state-of-the-art cockpit environment from the first day of training onward. According to Pilatus, this revolutionary training concept has been used by the Swiss Air Force for the past ten years.
