MAROPS P3K Orion

MAROPS Limited, North Shore


Nomination for the design and provision of courseware material, plans and guides.

MAROPS has been contracted for the design and provision of courseware material and instructors, including lesson plans and instructor guides for the P3K Orion aircraft Operational Conversion Course.

MAROPS provides a level of detail and quality of presentation superior to anything done previously. This has never been provided in one training package, but is now possible through MAROPS association with Right Hemisphere.

The packages are unique in subject matter and offer the student a better, more user-friendly delivery with all students retaining a CD to use as a continuing point of reference. Through training efficiencies, training time has been reduced from 6 weeks to 5 per course, and MAROPS’ ability to conduct the training has allowed RNZAF aircrew to return to their primary roles.

MAROPS has been commended for its willingness to listen to and respond to the wishes of the RNZAF. MAROPS also provides animation modules not only for the RNZAF’s aircraft training, but also for modules of the RNZN damage control training. The animation aspect of the company’s work is innovative and offers an exciting new dimension to many aspects of RNZAF training, both from a flying and technical perspective.

Nominated by Group Captain K R Short, OC 485 WG
