ABOUT
Our Close Air Support Instructor Pilots Present and Debrief The Most Current TTPs
On the Range, in a MOA, or VFR airspace near your homebase… the World is your OP!

Qualified Military CAS Instructor Pilots
Totalling 60,000+ flight hours, multiple Combat Tours and 350+ years of experience, our Pilots are Qualified CAS Instructors with a wealth of experience to share with your JTACs. We are fully versed in current TTPs for multiple types of the aircraft you work with regularly. You have probably worked with us before!

On Target Mission Debriefs
CAS professionals know that more that 50% of learning occurs in the debrief. Our Instructor Pilots waste no time getting right to the Debrief Focus Point, suggest Instructional Fixes, and leave each JTAC with Lessons Learned to apply to future controls. JTAC-I’s continually remark that our debriefs are spot on with their hot washes, reinforcing the lessons to the JTAC on the mic..

Mixed Fleet of CAS Aircraft
High-speed Attack Jets, 5+ hour loiter-time Attack Prop aircraft, multi-spectrum sensors pushing VDL, live BDU-33 deliveries, live 7.62mm Strafe, and Visual Dry Presentations exercise your Type I & II controls. Our Army Attack Aviation helicopters push tactics training to the next-level. JTAC “ride-alongs” improve your controllers’ talk-ons. We are a full spectrum CAS presentation!
OUR SERVICES
Everything your JTACs need to stay Qualified, Current, and Proficient

Live and Dry Weapons
Blue Air Training conducts live and dry CAS. We employ live BDU-33s, 7.62mm strafe, and live 2.75” rockets from all aircraft. If a live range is not available, we can simulate weapons delivery with smoke generators.







Multiple Asset Simulation
Blue Air Training simulates multiple air and ground assets on the radio. By using different voice personalities at different times, our expert CAS instructor pilots can simulate other fighters, bombers, and ISR aircraft, giving JTAC trainees a high-pressure, realistic battle scenario.







Multiple Missions, Day & Night







Planning Assistance
Blue Air Training is with you every step of the way. We assist you in daily mission planning, part-task training, or major exercises from planning through debrief.







Fam Flights
Blue Air Training gives you the pilot’s perspective – literally. Every JTAC, JFO, commander, and DV will be be invited for a familiarization flight in one of our aircraft. Sometimes an airborne picture is worth a thousand words on the radio. Blue Air Training paints you that picture.

The beauty of the Brasov lies in its reliability and cost effectiveness and unparalleled station time. The Brasov can drop 2x live BDU-33s, shoot live 7.62mm from its M-240 machine gun, and push full motion video from the FLIR 230HD over VDL.
