Hands-on training
Tech. Sgt. Brandon Sullivan, an aircraft armament systems technician with the 33rd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, is using a portable maintenance device loaded with joint technical data and plugged into an F-35 life-sized trainer during a weapons familiarization course. Training indoors allows for deliberate training for the maintainers without having to take a real jet off the flight line thus competing with pilot training. Later training on the flight line is streamlined due to the preparation on the mock-ups. The 17-day weapons familiarization class was the first-ever weapons course completed since Eglin’s F-35 Academic Training Center began commencement of formal training Mar 19.
