Flight training with H-145M helicopters
Members of the 98th Air Brigade are undergoing regular cold weather formation flight training with H-145M helicopters at the "Sergeant-Pilot Mihajlo Petrović" military airport and in the wider region of Niš.
Intensive training with H-145M helicopters has been conducted since they entered service, in order to train as many crews as possible and be ready for the arrival of new aircraft of this type, and this training segment is particularly important since most flight tasks require formation flying engaging multiple aircraft.
By practicing takeoffs and landings on unsecured and snow-covered ground, and performing day and night formation flights at different altitudes, pilots improve their flying skills and ability to control the helicopter in favourable and adverse weather conditions, and practice tactical actions and procedures used for carrying out search and rescue tasks and for providing fire support to Army units.
The aircraft maintenance technicians, who make sure that helicopters are in good running order and have a key role in preparing aircraft for flying, are also actively involved in the training.
The H-145M multi-role light helicopter is used for the transport of people and materials, search and rescue, medical transportation, reconnaissance, battlefield observation and fire support.
