In Wunstorf airbase, Air Transport Squadron 62 will receive an A400M Cargo Hold Part Task Trainer (CPTT) to augment the A400M training centre’s existing set of simulation and training systems.

The CPTT includes the advanced Cargo Hold Trainer Enhanced (CHT-E), used for training cargo hold personnel, especially loadmasters and ground staff.

Rheinmetall also noted that a second CPTT will be installed at the Airmobile and Air Transport School in Altenstadt. The system will train airfreight handling personnel and paratroopers.

The A400M CPTT is a ‘full-scale replica’ of the A400M cargo hold.

In addition to CPTT, Rheinmetall has supplied various A400M user nations with other cargo training equipment. These include the Loadmaster Workstation Trainer (LMWST) and the CHT-E.

In 2019, Rheinmetall supplied the first A400M CPTT to the Royal Malaysian Air Force.
