Elbit awarded contracts to refit Romanian helicopters, jet trainers
Work was carried outat Field's Oklahoma City facility on 73 T-1As. The final aircraft returned to its home base in January.
The project included a full avionics upgrade and required updating an FAA Supplemental Type Certificate to accommodate the design differences between the commercial aircraft and the USAF T-1A.
'This was a great opportunity for us,' said Paul Berry, Field's T-1A programme manager. 'We had done this type of work before, but not for the T-1A. Our team quickly identified opportunities for improving the process and delivered quality work, on time and on budget for our USAF customer.'
Field performed prototype, low-rate initial and full-rate production modifications with Rockwell Collins, Nextant Aerospace and FlightSafety International as subcontractors.
