"The ACMI facility is expected to improve the professionalism of pilots in an effort to realize zero accident," Sutrisno said, adding that with the ACMI a fighter pilot would be able monitor his the movement of his flight in various formations, both in real time or in recording.
Sutrisno said the ACMI was like a "memory disk" in a sensor devise, placed in one of an aircraft`s wings.
The instrument is also used to monitor the training of F-5/Tiger and Hawk 109/209.
The training of of F-5/Tiger and Hawk 109/209 is also intended to prepare the arrival of new T-50 Golden Eagle and 24 F-16 fighter jets from the United States to replace Hawk MK-53 fighter jets.
