  • Medium Support Helicopter Aircrew Training Facility (MSHATF)
    Medium Support Helicopter Aircrew Training Facility (MSHATF) Introduction to CAE’s MSHATF The Medium Support Helicopter Aircrew Training Facility (MSHATF) was developed by CAE in partnership with the UK Ministry of Defence. Responsible for the design, construction and financing of the facility that opened in 1999, CAE operates the MSHATF under a 40-year private finance initiative (PFI) contract. CAE’s MSHATF is delivering the total spectrum of synthetic aircrew training demanded by the UK Joint Helicopter Command Support Helicopter Force. The turnkey training program includes academic classroom training and simulator training delivered by experienced instructors. The MSHATF is equipped with six full-mission simulators configured for CH-47 Chinook, AW101 Merlin and Puma helicopters. Under the terms of its PFI contract, CAE also has the ability to provide turnkey training to third-party users. This enables approved military and civil operators across the globe to take advantage of the advanced simulation, training and mission rehearsal capability at the MSHATF on a highly cost-effective basis. Other NATO nations and wider alliances also regard the MSHATF as part of their normal training regime. For example, Royal Netherlands Air Force Chinook crews routinely train alongside their Royal Air Force (RAF) counterparts before operational deployments. In addition, Royal Navy crews operating the UK Merlin and other operators of the AW101 helicopter such as the Royal Canadian Air Force, Royal Danish Air Force, and Portuguese Air Force use the advanced Merlin simulators for a range of training applications, including battlefield and search and rescue (SAR) roles. The MSHATF also offers Puma helicopter training where the customer base includes the RAF and several Middle Eastern customers.

    ERROR! NO TEXT OF SPECIFIED STYLE IN DOCUMENT. RAF Brize Norton Airspace Change Proposal Consultation Feedback Report Document Details Reference Description Document Title RAF Brize Norton Airspace Change Proposal Consultation Feedback Report Document Ref 70751 064 Issue Issue 1 Date 3rd October 2018 Issue Amendment Date Issue 1 3rd October 2018 RAF Brize Norton Airspace Change Proposal | Document Details ii 70751 064 | Issue 1 Executive Summary RAF Brize Norton (BZN) would like to extend thanks to all the organisations and individuals that took the time to participate and provide feedback to the Public Consultation held between 15th December 2017 and 5th April 2018. The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is the Sponsor of a proposed change to the current arrangements and procedures in the immediate airspace surrounding the airport. As the airport operators, and operators of the current Class D Controlled Airspace (CAS), RAF Brize Norton is managing this process on behalf of the MOD. If approved, the proposed change will provide enhanced protection to aircraft on the critical stages of flight in departure and final approach, and will provide connectivity between the RAF Brize Norton Control Zone (CTR) and the UK Airways network. In addition, the Airspace Change will deliver new Instrument Flight Procedures (IFP) utilising Satellite Based Navigation which will futureproof the procedures used at the Station. As part of the Civil Aviation Authority’s (CAA) Guidance on the Application of the Airspace Change Process (Civil Aviation Publication (CAP) 725) [Reference 1], BZN is required to submit a case to the CAA to justify its proposed Airspace Change, and to undertake consultation with all relevant stakeholders.

    Born in Lincoln in 1970, Captain Griffin was educated in Nottingham before joining the RN direct from school in 1988. After BRNC Dartmouth and a holdover on the Dartmouth Training Squadron in HMS Bristol, he completed flying training at RAF Linton-on-Ouse, RNAS Culdrose and 707 Squadron, RNAS Yeovilton. Joining 846 Squadron for his first front-line tour in November 1991, he detached on various exercises around the UK and Europe, including Norway, before deploying on Op GRAPPLE in HMS ARK ROYAL in the Adriatic. His final deployment on this tour was to Northern Ireland on Op BANNER. Moving to 845 Squadron in June 1994 he saw 4 deployments to Bosnia and completed the Instrument Rating Instructor Course at RAF Shawbury. Completing the Qualified Helicopter Instructor course in May 1996 he moved to 848 Squadron for 2 years, gaining his A2 Instructor category in March 1998.
