D Shift wrapped up a night shift training scenario this week involving a Beechcraft 1900. A big thank you to ACE Air Cargo for allowing us to train on their aircraft.

Following the scenario, personnel completed aircraft familiarization training on the Beechcraft 1900 with ACE Air Cargo, reinforcing safety, access points, and operational considerations for real world incidents.

Great work by everyone involved for strengthening readiness and maintaining high standards of response.
