The T-6A is used to train JPPT students, providing the basic skills necessary to progress to one of four training tracks: the Air Force bomber-fighter or the Navy strike track, the Air Force airlift-tanker or Navy maritime track, the Air Force or Navy turboprop track and the Air Force-Navy helicopter track. Air Force production of the aircraft was completed in 2010. The full rate production contract was awarded in December 2001. The first operational T-6A arrived at Randolph Air Force Base, Texas, in May 2000. 5, 1996, Raytheon was awarded the JPATS acquisition and support contracts. The system includes a suite of simulators, training devices and a training integration management system. The aircraft is fully aerobatic and features a pressurized cockpit with an anti-G system, ejection seat and an advanced avionics package with sunlight-readable liquid crystal displays.īefore being formally named in 1997, the T-6A was identified in a 1989 Department of Defense Trainer Aircraft Master Plan as the aircraft portion of the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System, or JPATS.
