00:00.680 --> 00:02.270
- So this training that we conducted

00:02.270 --> 00:05.060
over the last two weeks
was a C-5 ground trainer.

00:05.060 --> 00:08.040
It's a dedicated C-5
aircraft that they send us,

00:08.040 --> 00:10.820
and it's solely for training our personnel

00:10.820 --> 00:15.030
within the wing to perform
certain tasks that they request

00:15.030 --> 00:18.250
and get more hands-on
training on certain items.

00:18.250 --> 00:21.610
The benefits of doing this is
we actually get an aircraft

00:21.610 --> 00:24.350
versus getting in a simulator-type thing,

00:24.350 --> 00:26.810
so they get the real feel
of being on the aircraft

00:26.810 --> 00:29.100
and touching certain switches and buttons

00:29.100 --> 00:32.360
to help 'em know what that
switch is actually gonna do.

00:32.360 --> 00:34.300
In the past ground trainers, we just had

00:34.300 --> 00:36.940
way too many people, so we
thought it would be beneficial

00:36.940 --> 00:40.610
for the students to have
a two-two shift construct

00:40.610 --> 00:43.120
so that we can have less amount
of people on the aircraft

00:43.120 --> 00:45.240
and less bumping into each other,

00:45.240 --> 00:47.855
and then also to do
the COVID restrictions.

00:47.855 --> 00:51.438
(intense electronic music)

00:54.400 --> 00:57.560
The VR system that we
have here at Ramstein,

00:57.560 --> 01:01.040
it was the first time that
we've built that system

01:01.040 --> 01:03.800
into our schedule and let the students

01:03.800 --> 01:08.160
that have never really had
any experience on a C-5

01:08.160 --> 01:11.470
go into the VR system and
be able to do certain tasks

01:11.470 --> 01:13.270
on the VR system before we were able

01:13.270 --> 01:16.333
to even go out with them
and perform those tasks.

01:17.610 --> 01:20.140
- Most of us have not been on
this aircraft prior to today,

01:20.140 --> 01:23.420
and so, what we need to do
if something breaks on these

01:23.420 --> 01:25.420
is super important, because
the mission doesn't stop.

01:25.420 --> 01:27.730
Even with COVID and
everything else going on,

01:27.730 --> 01:29.233
we continue to work every day.

01:31.060 --> 01:35.380
- [Cody] Huge, huge thank you
to 721 AMXS for supporting us

01:35.380 --> 01:39.460
and making this ground trainer
a success for all units

01:39.460 --> 01:42.209
getting those training items knocked out.

01:42.209 --> 01:44.876
