MG David Francis, commander of the Army Aviation Center of Excellence at Fort Rucker Alabama, is responsible for all US Army aviation training, which he said ‘uses simulation as [an] integral part of our training paradigm’.

He said simulations need to use the same Modular Open Systems Approach that the US Army is applying to its future aircraft programmes.
