BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The UH-72A SFTS supports institutional, organizational and sustainment training for Active Component (AC) and Reserve Component (RC) aviation units worldwide. It provides a unique training capability to help commanders achieve and sustain unit proficiency and readiness. It provides the capability for aviation units to train and sustain the performance of selected critical tasks and will allow UH-72A qualified aviators to maintain proficiency in high risk tasks (e.g. Inadvertent Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IIMC), emergency procedures and extreme environmental conditions - Training Circular (TC) 1-272, Aircrew Training Manual Light Utility Helicopter UH-72 A Series dated April 2009 (see attachment 1).
