Key.Aero gained privileged access to the Irish Air Corps and flew with its Flight Training School in the Pilatus PC-9M. Here, we present a spectacular sortie involving aerobatics and low-level flying and speak to the squadron's members to explore the crucial role that the FTS plays
“The PC-9M is an excellent training platform in producing graduate pilots,” says Cmdt Edward Snowdon, when asked by Key.Aero about the Flying Training School and its use of the Pilatus PC-9M. “This high-speed advanced aircraft demands the student pilot to always operate at their peak performance. It requires precise handling, superior airmanship, and excellent situational awareness. Hence it produces a highly-skilled graduate pilot in all these areas.”
