Deutsche Aircraft, a prominent German Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), is demonstrating its commitment to advancing aviation by partnering with pilots from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) for pilot training on the D328 UpLift aircraft. This collaboration includes offering simulator training at Simulator Training Solution (STS GmbH), based in Velbert. As the journey of the UpLift aircraft progresses, pilot training for the D328 type aircraft is underway in preparation for the upcoming Nationale Luftfahrtkonferenz (German National Aviation Conference) scheduled for September 25, 2023, in Hamburg.
With the anticipated event on the horizon, initial preparations are in progress for modifications to the D328 UpLift aircraft. The transformation of the aircraft’s livery is currently taking place at Oberpfaffenhofen Airport’s hangar. Concurrently, training has commenced for the DLR cockpit crew, who will undertake the flight from Munich’s Oberpfaffenhofen Airport to Hamburg, where the new livery will be unveiled to the public.
Conny Cornelius, Test Pilot, Deutsche Aircraft said, “It is a fantastic opportunity to be able to work with colleagues from DLR to support future developments in aviation. It is time to show them the capabilities of the D328 Turboprop as the perfect flying testbed as part of the UpLift programme.”
Since 2020, Deutsche Aircraft has maintained a collaboration with Simulator Training Solution, which serves as the exclusive simulator training center for operators of the D328 aircraft family. This partnership underscores Deutsche Aircraft’s dedication to ensuring the proficiency and skill development of aviation professionals working with their aircraft. In continuation of this collaboration, DLR pilots will continue their flight training activities at the Research Airport in Braunschweig, further solidifying their expertise and readiness to operate the innovative D328 UpLift aircraft.
Jan Hünerfeld, CEO, STS GmbH said, “We are proud to be part of aviation history with our state-of-the-art D328 simulator training centre. Here, we can support DLR pilots in their training for the UpLift aircraft which will be part of German aviation history. At STS, we want to continue to support Deutsche Aircraft’s mission, as well as becoming a key service provider to D328 aircraft operators.”
