During 2021, Leonardo's flight operations team in Yeovil flew more than 870 hours across several different types of helicopters. The 585 flights included sorties on the AW159, AW149 Common Platform Demonstrator, Super Lynx and AW101, with the aircrew accruing over 70 hours in the AW149 during 53 sorties. The growth of the team was marked recently, when two Leonardo trainee Flight Test Engineers (FTE) in Yeovil – Josh Sleeman and Ben Standen – completed the first phase in qualifying as professional aircrew, with will ultimately see them being approved UK MOD MAA (Military Aviation Authority) and EASA (EU Aviation Safety Agency) lead FTEs. This first phase of training followed a similar path to other UK MOD Flying Training System Non-Pilot Aircrew courses.
