TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Navy Chief of Staff Admiral Ade Supandi inaugurated the operation of two of its latest training aircrafts, the Baron G-58, which replaced the Navy's old Nomad N-22/24 aircrafts at Navy Airbase Juanda in Surabaya, East Java, on December 23, 2015.
"These new aircrafts are required to accelerate the navy's flight qualification process, which would later manned operational aircrafts including the CN 235-200 or NC 212-200," Ade said in his speech.
"The coaching preparation for qualified aviator personnel requires an aircraft training facility which will later be prepared to operate the airborne elements in sea operations specifically for fixed-wing aircrafts," Ade said.
The Baron G-58 comes equipped with the latest aircraft technology such as the glass cockpit technology that is integrated with the engine instrument, flight instrument, communications, navigation, auto pilot and weather radar.
