Airmen within the 7th Component Maintenance Squadron’s Engine Test Cell demonstrated the ability of using an Engine Test Stand virtual reality system for future training purposes at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, Aug. 5, 2020.
The current training time for an Airman to receive their engine run certification is up to six months as they work alongside a crew of four Airmen plus the certifier.
