Ocean Software case study

Case Study: NATO Flying Training Center, Canada

Proven Success: FlightPRO® in Action

The NATO Flying Training Center in Canada (NFTC), split across the two geographic locations of Moose Jaw Saskatchewan and Cold Lake Alberta, is responsible for Phase II, III and IV pilot training and supporting over seven NATO member countries. While NFTC’s operating requirements differed from those of other clients, the flexibility of FlightPRO® allowed NFTC to move seamlessly from manual to electronic processes. By adopting FlightPRO®, NFTC was able to benefit from the same world-wide release version while still supporting their unique operating needs. Being a leading demonstrator of Military and Commercial partnering, the need for NFTC to capture accurate mission outcome information was paramount to the success of their operation. FlightPRO® provided the single point of data entry for electronic authorisation and mission hours capture, necessary to monitor both operations billing performance and student progression.
