Pilatus PC-7 MKX to Provide Basic Training for French Military Pilots

The French Air and Space Force has selected Pilatus for a new training contract worth an undisclosed amount. The PC-7 MKX will provide basic training for military pilots, with deliveries scheduled for 2027. Babcock France won a 17-year contract to provide training services in 2025. This marks the first time Garmin has integrated its G3000 PRIME technology into a military training system. Pilatus will supply simulators, computer-based training, and mission planning and debriefing system equipment. The company is looking forward to working closely with Babcock France in the delivery and operation of the new training system.
