METS T‑54A

A History of Military Training Experience

TRU Simulation™ is actively developing and delivering the Multi-Engine Training System (METS) Ground Based Training System (GBTS) for the Naval Air Warfare Center – Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD). The contract includes five Operational Flight Trainer (OFT) simulators, three Unit Training Device (UTD) simulators, one Simulator Support Station (SSS), and 21 Desktop Trainers for avionics training. METS T-54A OFTs and UTDs allow students to train in normal and abnormal conditions as well as practice normal and formation flight. The Desktop Trainers allow students to train on and become proficient in the use of the Collins Aerospace® Pro Line Fusion® flight deck before introduction into the UTDs, OFTs and METS aircraft. The OFT and UTD cockpits completely replicate the METS T-54A configuration to provide students with an easy transition from simulator training into the aircraft. The GBTS acquired under the METS GBTS contract will replace the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) fleet of T-44C Pegasus simulators. Deliveries have begun and will continue through 2026.
