A new Flight Deck Training Simulator was built in November 2015 by Systems Engineering and Assessment (SEA) of Frome, costing £500,000. It has Kinect motion sensing. [2] Four F-35 models were built in June 2017 by Gateguards Ltd of Cornwall. [3] [4] The site has a 600ft practice flight deck.
The airbase is equipped with a substantial Air Engineering Training School, which includes a dedicated Survival Equipment Section. Additionally, it houses the Royal Naval School of Flight Deck Operations, the institution responsible for training all personnel involved in aircraft handling.
The second phase of training is Aircraft Handling which sees recruits learning the skills required for the safe movement, take off and landing of aircraft on board Royal Navy ships and at Royal Naval air stations. The training for this role is carried out on a full-size mock-up flight deck known as HMS Siskin (Dummy Deck). [4]

731 Naval Air Squadron (731 NAS) was a Fleet Air Arm (FAA) naval air squadron of the United Kingdom’s Royal Navy (RN). It was active between 1943 and 1945 and its sole role throughout its formation was a Deck Landing Control Officer training squadron. Through this role the squadron pilots were nicknamed 'Clockwork Mice'.
The Royal Navy School of Flight Deck Operations still uses Harriers to train Aircraft Handlers on the dummy deck at RNAS Culdrose. [94] [71] Many are in a working condition, although in a limited-throttle setting. [94] Although they are unable to fly, they still produce a loud sound to aid training. On display
Graduates from Norway's Royal Naval School in Stavanger decided to shake things up at their graduation with a surprise flash mob performance. Navy cadets' epic flash mob performance will make you ...
Trials after 1945 by the Royal Navy revealed that the slow throttle response of jet aircraft meant they could not safely use the standard deck landing technique then in use by propeller-driven aircraft. Even in peacetime, carrier operations killed 20% of the aircrew. [3] Goodhart therefore invented the mirror-sight deck landing system in 1951. [4]
