Airborne Systems

Providing a Premium Training Site, Equipment and Instructors

 

The Airborne Systems Training Facility is approximately 800 meters (2,500 ft) from the main runway at Eloy Municipal Airport co-located with Skydive Arizona, the world’s largest civilian drop-zone and provider of DoD approved aircraft specific to both civilian and military jump operations. The Training Facility provides a complete turnkey solution to the training needs associated with the purchase and sustainment of our full line of products. From qualified instructors totally familiar with military jump and cargo drop requirements, to programs for maintenance and packing techniques, a wide range of training programs and courses are available. Most of our trainers have years of experience working in military environments and understand thoroughly the proficiency requirements at various levels. All of our courses offer certificates of proficiency to certify that our customers are keeping pace with changing market requirements.

 

Training can also be provided at regularly scheduled intervals in order to maintain proficiency levels for both the use and maintenance of the equipment, to train new personnel, and to educate customers about expanding product lines and capabilities.  

 

All courses can be customized to meet the customer’s requirements and may even be combined if required.
