ATI’s team of expert instructors provide a total systems approach to help you fully utilize the operational capabilities of your C-130 transport aircraft, as well as the skills of your air and ground crews. Utilizing state-of-the-art techniques and equipment, ATI is one of the few commercial organizations capable of training pilots, navigators, loadmasters, technicians, ground support personnel, load riggers and parachute riggers in all facets of aerial delivery.

Our technical training of deliverable equipment stresses simplicity of design, ruggedness, and commonality. Most of the equipment offered by ATI can be used for cross training on such aircraft as the DC-4 Caribou, DC-5 Buffalo, C-160, G-222, CN-235, or CASA 212. Most equipment is tailored for use without modification and a systems package and training program assures maximum usable payload and cube. All training is in accordance with United States Air Force military procedures.

The provision of a comprehensive C-130 aerial delivery program requires more than merely the purchase of hardware. There are many other mutually dependent considerations that must be measured and integrated into the program, i.e., user training, operations safety, logistic support, operational procedures, aircraft and crew capabilities. Proper training offers extended equipment life - a major factor contributing to significant cost savings over the long term.
