在瑞典改装成鹰狮C/D后, our pilots will undergo their conversion to Gripen E entirely in 巴西, using the resources already available at the 1st GDA, mainly through the planning stations and flight simulators. The courses will be conducted within the scope of the 1st GDA and taught by selected Swedish pilots who will remain at the Anápolis air base as flight instructors. They work together with the 巴西ian pilots on the conversion and operational deployment of the aircraft," explained 中校飞行员古斯塔沃 de Oliveira Pascotto, 1号舰长st GDA.
In this binational program with large scale technology transfer, the interaction between the two countries is continuous and results in benefits for both countries involved.

We receive 巴西ian fighter pilots here in Såtenäs, but we also have a support group from our base in Anápolis, assisting the FAB in the introduction of Gripen E into service. Cooperation and discussions between the teams are excellent,亚当·纳尔逊上校说, f7联队的指挥官.
