Production test flights of Airbus H135 helicopters for Canada’s Future Aircrew Training (FAcT) program have taken place, a key step on the path to training Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) pilots. The RCAF designation for the H135 is CT-153-Juno, and this aircraft was chosen by training contractor SkyAlyne as the helicopter training platform for the RCAF.

The next step is completion of the helicopters, which includes paint and supplemental type certification modifications to be done at the Airbus Helicopters facility in Fort Erie, Ontario.
