FB Heliservices to train Albanian Air Force pilots

The Albanian Ministry of Defence (MoD) has awarded a contract to FB Heliservices to provide helicopter flying training to its air force pilots.
Under the terms of the undisclosed two-year contract, the company will train a team of 12 pilots and four crewmen before they begin flying the air force's AS532 Cougar utility helicopters.
A joint venture between Bristow Helicopters and Cobham Aviation Services, FB Heliservices will specifically offer a series of courses focused on providing multi-engine type conversion, glass cockpit familiarisation, instrument flying and search and rescue (SAR) training to the pilots.
Peter Richardson, FB Heliservices managing director, said the company will support the Albanian MoD in training its pilots for successful transition to their new Cougar helicopters.
