Pinnacle Delivers First UH-60M VMT to UAE

Pinnacle Solutions delivered the Block 1 Upgrade to its first UH-60M Virtual Maintenance Trainer (VMT) to Global Aerospace Logistics, LLC (GAL) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

In late February 2021, a team from Pinnacle visited the customer site for the second time to install the UH-60 VMT software upgrade offering additional work packages to expand the maintenance trainer software installed last year to more aircraft systems. The full classroom suite (Block 0) was delivered to GAL, a leading regional provider of integrated aircraft sustainment solutions for military and civilian customers in Abu Dhabi, on 15 March 2020 to assist the UAE with training Black Hawk maintainers.

A total package delivery included on-site testing, Train-the-Trainer course of instruction, an initial 12-month warranty followed by optional long-term maintenance support for both software and hardware. Furthermore, a Pinnacle Subject Matter Expert participated in the International Defence Exhibition and Conference (IDEX 2021) in Abu Dhabi, where show visitors and exhibitors viewed demonstrations of the UH-60 and CH-47 VMTs.

The UH-60 VMT, developed by Pinnacle as an Internal Research & Development (IR&D) project, is a computer-based training platform for Black Hawk maintainers spanning all skill levels. The VMT may be used for aircraft systems, subsystems, and component familiarization as well as fault isolation and troubleshooting.
