5. Technical and Pilot Training
Technical Training
Besides actually executing maintenance, Daedalus
provides training for a wide range of trades and
aircraft platform types or even support elements like
training on GSE operation and maintenance.
Training can either be performed at our facilities in
The Netherlands or at the customer location incountry. Daedalus can also provide specific
technician training on-the-job training (OJT) for (type) trained personnel in order to transfer knowledge and
develop capability within the customer organization or any local support industry. In most cases these OJTs will
be combined with actual execution of the MRO projects themselves.
This concept of knowledge transfer and capability development has already successfully been applied in various
countries, where personnel of the local aviation support industry or the air force customer themself has been
trained on-the-job during the execution of a (complex) maintenance or upgrade programs. During these type of
projects Daedalus gradually turns over the work to the customer or partner by initially performing the work
themselves while the trainees looks over our shoulder, then perform the work together and finally have the
customer/partner do follow-on work by themselves while Daedalus specialists watch over their shoulder. We
believe in building honest and solid relationship rather than trying to keep everyuthing to ourselves.
Pilot Training
Besides technical training Daedalus support, Daedalus offers (advanced) pilot training for
both fixed and rotary wing pilots in high detail similators as well as live flying. Rotary wing
crew training is provided through our HELIOS Flight Training Center, of which is conveniently located adjacent to
one of the Royal Netherlands Air Force Airbases. HELIOS offers courses for advanced helicopter operations, like
NVG flying, Medical Evacuation, Fire-fighting and more for both pilots and
supporting crew members like hoist operators, load masters and observers.
If needed, depending on student entry level, CPL and PPL training can be
provided as well.
Fixed wing training is provided in close coordination with dedicated partners
for both similator based training as well as live flying training. Although CPL
and PPL can be provided we focus on advanced training like flight testing and
upset recovery training.

7. Sales Support
Air Force surplus equipment
When Air Forces decide to sell their surplus
equipment, this usually involves a lot of work
besides just making the sale, especially when this
pertains aircraft. Daedalus has an extensive
knowledge of the military aviation market, has
experience with buying and selling equipment
(including aircraft) and is able to provide a solution for those Air Forces that are not equipped to support the sales
effort. In most cases Air Forces aren’t even equipped with a sales organization nor have any experience in this
field. Therefore we strongly believe that the combination of our large worldwide military aviation network and
our MRO capabilities provide for a total solution to support Air Forces in selling their surplus equipment in the
most effective and efficient way.
Daedalus offers the following sales support:
 Assist in finding the right customer
 Provide full program management
 Prepare aircraft or other equipment for transfer
 (de)modification
 perform any open or deferred maintenance
 Assist in putting together a spare part support package
 Assist in the setup and management of Country Specific Technical Orders (CSTOs)
 Assist in transferring knowledge to the new customer
 Provide training for new customers
 Provide (long term) engineering support
 Act as a liaison between seller and buyer as part of a support package
 Support interested customers in the procurement process
Daedalus' goal is to relieve any Air Force that desires to sell their surplus equipment from as much excessive
burden as possible in order for them to maintain focussed on their primary tasks: operational readiness.
Furthermore for every sale we will create a business case in such a way that our cost are reimbursed through the
sale while maintaining the minimum price that the “selling” Air Force wishes to receive. This will creat a triple-win
situation: the “selling” Air Force will be able to make a quick sale in “as is, where is” condition, the “buying” Air
Force (or any other governemental entity) will receive full support from the start and is ensured of the most costeffective deal, whereas we will be enabled to provide our full portfolio of service in support of this.
