Part Task Trainer (PTT)

A part task trainer (PTT) is a training device that is designed to train a member of the aircrew or maintenance staff on a particular task associated with the aircraft. CAE designs and develops part task trainers for a range of tasks including:

  • Avionics systems.
  • Systems familiarization.
  • Weapons delivery.
  • Aerial refueling, and
  • A variety of complex tasks specific to a particular aircraft.

The part task trainer is a cost-effective training solution that allows pilots or maintenance personnel to familiarize themselves with a particular aircraft or weapon system without having to use the full-mission simulator or actual aircraft.

CAE has designed and manufactured a range of part task trainers for military customers. Recent examples include a C-130H PTT for the Royal New Zealand Air Force and a KC-130J cockpit avionics PTT for the US Marine Corps.
