This approach utilized a modified civilian AQP to significantly improve KC-10 aircrew training while reducing training timeliness and costs. Only training program of the six competing programs rated blue (outstanding) by the contraction selection team.• Provided both tanker and Airbus expertise to Northrup Grumman during their draft write-up for the proposed KC-30, Authored several sections including crew situational awareness and cockpit layout. Extensive glass and fly by wire background helped to highlight areas that could be possible shortfalls during the competition.• Worked for EADS/ NA evaluating the proposed FMS configurations to determine if the proposed solutions would meet USAF requirements.• Worked with EADS/NA and the Northrup – Grumman KC-X team to determine if the KC-45 was able to comply with current Air Force and NATO aerial refueling operations directives including overruns and breakaways. • Worked with Rockwell Collins to help define what issues will face the KC-10 during any future avionics modernization program. Provided KC-10 expertise as well as glass cockpit experience for an Air Force study on proposed requirements for proposed KC-10 cockpit avionics upgrades. • Extensive FMS experience. Experience in FMS's built by every major manufacturer including Smiths (B-737); Honeywell (AB-320 and B767), Thales (AB320) and Rockwell (KC-10). Show less
