The Indian Air Force (IAF) is developing a Part Task Trainer (PTT) for its Mirage 2000 aircraft to enhance pilot training and operational readiness. This advanced simulation tool will replicate the cockpit environment, allowing pilots to practice flying maneuvers and various operational scenarios without relying on full-motion simulators, which are expensive and limited in availability. The initiative aligns with the IAF’s strategy to maintain pilot proficiency amid transitioning to newer platforms like the Tejas MkII and AMCA, while also supporting the Make in India initiative through collaboration with domestic companies like CAE India and BEL. This move highlights the IAF’s commitment to leveraging technology for cost-effective training solutions.
