Fast Jet Pilot Training Eastern Europe will discuss the implementation of simulated flight training and advanced aircraft into current pilot training systems.

PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC, April 25, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Fast jet fighter capability is the mainstay of any air force; the ability to defend and control airspace is of paramount importance to any nation. Countries with smaller air forces are looking to improve interoperability to maximise the effectiveness of their jet fighter fleets. Furthermore, the Czech Air Force has announced it is actively seeking to establish an international training centre for regional pilots to meet that very demand with support from NATO by 2018.

Against this backdrop, SMi is proud to announce that Fast Jet Pilot Training Eastern Europe, taking place on 9th - 10th June 2016 in Prague, Czech Republic, is being held with support from the Czech Air Force. The two-day event will provide the ideal platform to discuss the implementation of new technologies such as simulated flight training and new advanced trainer aircraft into current pilot training systems for improved interoperability amongst regional partners, as well as conversion to more modern fighter jets in the wake of higher operational demands.

Key presentations at Fast Jet Pilot Training Eastern Europe include:
1. Overview of the New International Training Centre
Brigadier General Libor Stefanik, Commander, Czech Air Force
Brigadier General Libor Stefanik, Commander, Czech Air Force will discuss why the new centre is needed for the Eastern European region and how it will improve interoperability of NATO pilots during missions.
