Sevilla – El primer A400M de la Real Fuerza Aérea de Malasia (RMAF) actualizado con capacidades tácticas ha regresado a Malasia. Las actualizaciones fueron implementadas por Airbus en Sevilla, lo que permitió a la aeronave realizar nuevas misiones, como entregas aéreas, despliegue completo de paracaidistas o vuelos a baja altura.

En operación con la RMAF desde 2015, el A400M ya ha cambiado la operativa de transporte aéreo del cliente, desempeñando un papel clave en todo tipo de misiones, incluido el transporte de carga y personal, misiones humanitarias y de socorro en casos de desastre, transporte de equipo pesado, apoyo a la estrategia nacional en la lucha contra la pandemia de COVID-19, el transporte sanitario, así como las operaciones de reabastecimiento de combustible en vuelo. La RMAF se convirtió en el primer cliente de exportación del programa y es el primer operador del A400M en la región de Asia-Pacífico.

Con más de 10.000 horas de vuelo logradas por su flota, la RMAF es también líder de la flota de A400M, al tener el avión con más horas de vuelo y ciclos de vuelo acumulados entre los clientes del A400M. Como líder de flota, la flota de RMAF proporciona una valiosa referencia para todos los clientes existentes del A400M y para Airbus.

Airbus offers the A400M to the Royal Thai Air Force, considering the C-130H replacement carrier plan, believes it is the best and most cost effective option.

Ioannis Papachristofilou Airbus Defense's European and Canadian Sales Head told us about the A400M that 2020 was a challenging year from COVID-19, but proud to see its customers use the company's products to deliver patients and medical devices. During this time For the development of the A400M, Airbus is currently conducting a low-flight test flight, which will allow the A400M to fly only 500 feet off the ground with Autopilot, which previously only fighter aircraft could do. And it is expected to be certified for use in 2022, including a large number of side door paratroopers.

Of the 174 orders from the 8 Air Force, Airbus has delivered 94 aircraft.As of October this year, the A400M fleet worldwide has flown a total of 85,000 flying hours, with four in Asia being used by the Malaysian Air Force which has been fully delivered.

For the Thai Army, the C295 is already in use and the Royal Thai Army is quite satisfied with its performance. Therefore, if the A400M and C295 can be combined to perform missions, it is a very practical example. We have already presented the A400M to Thailand and continue to look forward to the opportunity to present to the Royal Thai Air Force as an option for the Royal Thai Air Force.

Rheinmetall and Airbus Defense & Space continue their successful cooperation in training systems for the A400M transport aircraft. The new turnkey A400M Cargo Hold Part Task Trainer (CPTT) for the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) has been used for training since February 2020.

The A400M CPTT, an A400M Cargo Hold Trainer with controls that are exactly reproduced in the original scale, is used to provide realistic training for the Load Masters and Ground Personnel in accordance with the requirements of the RMAF. The CPTT can be used to train the mission-specific configurable conversion of the Cargo Hold, the preparation of the load, loading and unloading, procedures during the flight and on the ground, and the cooperation of the air crews. The system is suitable for initial as well as advanced as well as repetition and deployment training. Even complex scenarios and emergency situations can be practiced safely since no original aircraft is required.

The new Cargo Hold Part Task Trainer complements the existing simulation and training systems of the A400M Training Center at the Kuala Lumpur site (Malaysia). The targeted expansion of Rheinmetall’s comprehensive cargo product line by the CPTT enables the entire spectrum of cargo training resources to be adapted for other platforms.

In addition to the CPTT, Rheinmetall has delivered further training equipment such as the Airbus Load Master Work Station Trainer (LMWST) as well as the Airbus Cargo Hold Trainer Enhanced (CHT-E) to various A400M user nations.

The CHT-E can be classified one level higher than the CPTT. In almost every detail, it is the exact replica of the loading space, including all operating elements, control stations, electronics and equipment true to the original. With this all training contents can be trained for which a real flight is not necessary. The CHT-E was delivered to the ITC of Airbus in Seville, the Royal Air Force in Brize Norton, the German Air Force in Wunstorf and the French Paratroopers (Army) in Toulouse.

A LMWST is in use at Airbus' International Training Center (ITC) in Seville, the A400M French National Training Center in Orléans and the Royal Air Force National Training Center in Brize Norton.

Atlas compite con Hercules

El A400M será llamado "Atlas"
El 6 de julio de 2012 se ejecutará la "ceremonia de nombramiento" , nombrando a la ceremonia de la aeronave en Farnborough, en las afueras de la tradicional Royal International Air Tattoo, Inglaterra. 



En presencia de las fuerzas aéreas de los siete países que participan en el programa A400M (Alemania, Francia, España, Reino Unido, Turquía, Bélgica, Luxemburgo), el nuevo avión será llamado "Atlas". El Ejército del Aire francés estará representado por el general William Jalea, Comandante de la Fuerza Aérea. 

El contrato del A400M, firmado el 27 de mayo de 2003, une a estas siete naciones en el desarrollo y la producción de un avión de transporte militar que sustituirá al Hércules y Transall en servicio en esos países. 

Los ejércitos franceses serán los primeros en recibir este nuevo dispositivo. De inmediato se incorporará a la base aérea de Orleans en el MEST (Entrada Multinacional en el equipo de servicio) para comenzar su fase experimental y rápidamente entrar en servicio en favor de las fuerzas.
