Tres oficiales fueron los que egresaron y, por ende, recibieron el brevet de aviadores navales. Ellos fueron los tenientes de corbeta Alan Colin y Matías Baldi y el guardiamarina Leandro Loch; los tres del total de nueve que habían iniciado el curso.

Argentine Navy: New Navy Pilots

The Navy has new marine flyers


One has to guess hard to insist that the seven black dots that were moving in the air in tactical training up in the air of Comandante Espora naval air base were seven aircraft trainer Beech Turbo Mentor, however the characteristic hum of the engine left no room for doubt. Finally, the afternoon of Monday July 5th, aircrafts flown by students of the Course for Naval Aviators landed before sunset on the airstrip, thus concluding the last stage of training that included night and height navigation to Trelew.


The course started in February with six students and graduates of the Basic Pilot Joint Military Aviator (CBCAM) program, implemented by the Ministry of Defence since 2007. According to what was explained by the Director of Naval Aviation School (ESAN), corvette captain Gustavo Massazza, the objective of the Course for Naval Aviators pilots is that students graduate with the same lineup that took the rest of the naval aviators, "who are in the squads and so incorporate the same 'language' and the same procedures." He also clarified that "although the course was reduced from one year to six months, yet provides the same stages as the original. Even this year we could do weapons training. "


On the evolution of the students said "they came to school with a fairly good level and proved to be a very proactive and open to new knowledge." Speaking on the time of the last stage of the course, explained that the pilots Massazza made height navigation, aerial reconnaissance, instrumental navigation and night flights. However, to the director of the ESAN, most importantly, "know all the tracks and how a squad, they see aircrafts like Tracker, Super Etendard, Orion, and helicopters. That people know them, because tomorrow will be working on these squads. "Massazza stressed the responsibility that means for him to be in charge of school management," especially by the sense of imparting knowledge and to teach what is not in the manual. One knows this because he lived it. "


Graduate. The students graduated today from the Naval Aviation Course at a ceremony held collation air base in Punta Indio. During the six-month course and 60 hours, the students were evaluated by different instructors in safety, precision, drills standardization of the pre-flight, cabin coordination between pilot and copilot and for navigation between leader and wingmen. Precision landing too, had it not in the Joint Course because it is a technique of approaching aircraft Armada.Siguiendo own tradition of naval aviation, the top three of the course can choose their destination. This year, specialization is the most coveted of helicopters.


Without patches


At first glance, the students are distinguished from other naval aviators because in their leather jackets still no patches or badges. And though they are already pilots received the basic course, are new naval pilots to graduate from the School of Aviation Naval.Massazza says the difference is more cultural than technical. "This is a common language that translates into the proceedings." Lt. Cmdr Gustavo Berry Brow, 27, Mar del Plata, the course was a stage of development because "in Cordoba during the course set-acquired much knowledge, but less experience, "he said.


Its first flight was a naval aviator in Punta Indio. The most important thing that day was to recognize the aircraft and learn procedures. "Adapting to the language was very important because the process had to readjust the culture," dijo.Refiriéndose to the final stage of training were explained that "two types of navigation: instrumental and visual. The first is to browse the information of the instruments and the other with the chart and looking out. Typically for low altitude navigation apply visual navigation, which requires the pilot more attention, more interaction with the field calculations. And for large shipments, which are higher, using navigation instruments. "Longs now begin their specialization as a helicopter pilot, though he certainly satisfied because it fulfilled his dream: becoming a naval aviator.


 


The captain Massazza  feels the pleasant responsibility to pass on their knowledge:
