DEFENCE

INCREASING THE TRAINING CAPACITY OF THE DEFENCE SPECIAL FORCES

Since 2013, Skytraders has provided air services for the Special Operations Command Parachute Training School with two C212-400s, specially modified for a military paratrooper configuration requiring static line and free-fall operations up to 25,000 feet.

Since then we’ve developed and certified a customised and civilian approved aerial bundle drop system, an Australian first. This success is a testament to our in-house engineering and design capabilities.

Since commencing operations, we have enhanced the Parachute Training School’s training capacity, with significant increases in the number of operational flight hours and sorties performed each year.
