Bluedrop Secures Additional $2.2 M in Work as Part of CFTS Program

Bluedrop Performance Learning Inc. (“Bluedrop”) (TSX-V: BPL) through its subsidiary Bluedrop Training & Simulation Inc., was recently awarded a contract by KF Aerospace Defence Programs, operators of the Canadian Forces flight training program in Southport, Manitoba, to deliver visual systems upgrades to several existing flight simulators for the Contracted Flying Training and Support (CFTS) Program. These upgrades are part of a larger scope of work that sees KF Aerospace Defence Programs and Bluedrop providing the Royal Canadian Air Force`s Primary, Rotary Wing and Multi-engine Pilot training until 2027.

The visuals upgrade program will provide the pilots with the most up to date visual systems and training systems available. The upgrades will be implemented at the Hilly Brown Building as part of the flight training program led by KF Aerospace Defence Programs and supported by Bluedrop Training & Simulation, Canadian Helicopters (HNZ) Ltd., and Canadian Base Operators. Located in Southport, Manitoba, the CFTS program has a majority role in training 80% of new pilots in the RCAF every year.

By working together with our corporate partners and the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Bluedrop will be  meeting the current and future training needs of our student pilots. The project is valued at (US) $2.2 million and will be delivered including all associated training and certifications by the Bluedrop Simulation team.
