Concord XXI USA operates a 12,000 square foot facility in Daleville, Alabama, home to all US Army helicopter training at Fort Rucker. Located in the heart of US military helicopter learning, the training center consists of our state-of-the-art training philosophy coupled with the finest training aids available anywhere. Visitors are always welcome. Please call or email for a tour!
The five modules that make up the
training complex have been developed over the last 9 years to mirror western
training practices. The complex can be labeled and taught in Russian, English,
Spanish or Dari languages. The system meets or exceeds all OEM specifications
for training aircrew and maintenance technicians on the Mi-17 series
helicopter.
Our ground instructors are FAA certified.
The Daleville Training Center incorporates:
1. Computer based training.
Hundreds of pages of full color, animated flight manual supplements, ground
school, and specialty courses (aviation weather, mountain flying, helicopter
aerodynamics, etc.)
The course syllabus is presented in chapter format with self-paced learning and exams at the completion of each section. The course is continuously updated with factory bulletins and lessons learned from users in the field.

3. Systems schematics boards.
These are 4’ X 8’ boards, mounted on rollers, depicting each system
schematically, with actual control panels and switches mounted for functional
instruction.
Electrically operated, each system can be manipulated by the
actual switches and/or controls found on the helicopter.
Lighted pathways
depict fluid flow, pressure buildup, or electrical connectivity to graphically
illustrate all modes of helicopter systems operation. Malfunctions are
faithfully replicated.
The systems depicted include the following:
Heating and ventilation system.
Pneumatic system.
Landing gear.
Anti-icing system.
Fire protection system.
Flight control system.
Fuel system.
Transmission.
Hydraulic system, including ramp & door
operation.
4. Major components. Engine, APU,
main gear box, swash plate, main rotor hub, nose and main landing gear,
intermediate gearbox, tail rotor hub and blade, and a unique tail rotor control
cable tension adjustment training aid are supplied for hands-on instruction of
helicopter systems.
These actual OEM components have been refurbished and specially painted and are accompanied by full-color diagrams for extra instructional capability. They allow students to make all adjustments and calibration as on the actual items.
5. Cockpit Procedures Simulator
(CPT) and a full motion, FAA Level D-equivalent simulator. The CPT is fully
automated and allows practice of all normal and abnormal checklists and all 124
failure modes.
The full motion dome-visuals simulator is equipped with an Afghan database, as well as a maritime and central European wooded database. The Level D equivalent simulator allows practice of all maneuvers, including brownouts, IMC conditions, shipboard landings, and rocket/guns firing.
It is without question the most advanced, lifelike Mi-17 simulator on the market today. ICAO approval and acceptance is pending. In addition, Concord XXI USA has applied for FAA approval to conduct Mi-17 type rating in accordance with the Experimental Aircraft Authorization program.
