<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Student pilots in the NATO Flying Training in Canada program selected for jet training will transit from the CT-156 Harvard II to the CT-155 Hawk, and will continue to train at 15 Wing Moose Jaw. In addition, the Hawk will be used at 4 Wing Cold Lake during the fourth phase of jet pilot training. <br />
<br />
Powered by the Rolls-Royce Mk.871 Adour turbofan engine which provides more than 6,000 pounds of thrust (6030), the CT-155 Hawk has a maximum speed at sea level of 560 knots, a design limit of +8 G to -4 G and can fly at Mach1.2. <br />
<br />
The BAE SYSTEMS Hawk 115 was selected for its similarities to sophisticated front-line fighter Aircraft. Its principle features include: an advanced glass cockpit with a Heads Up Display (HUD); a multi-function display, hands-on throttle and stick controls; integrated navigation & weapon aiming systems; and a high-powered turbofan engine. It is considered one of the most advanced trainers ever built.<br />
<br />
With the amount of technology in the Hawk, it is capable of performing a wide range of combat missions, translating into a cost-effective bottom line for pilot training In Canada. Canada's air force is not alone in selecting this modern trainer: It is used the Royal Air Force and 14 other countries, including the United States Navy as its T-45A Goshawk advanced trainer for carrier operations. <br />
<br />
Student fighter pilots will spend 80 hours training on the Hawk in Moose Jaw, followed by an additional 45 hours in the Fighter Lead-In program in Cold Lake. At this stage, pilots will be ready to join the Cold Lake Operational Training Unit, which flies Canada's CF-18 Hornets.<br />
