The contract is worth around $26 million over four years and includes support and maintenance.
Mr Clare said that the helicopters would be operated by Navy’s 723 Squadron in Nowra.
“Junior aircrew initially train in Squirrel helicopters. They will then move on to the Bell 429 to improve and maintain their skills.
“This gives young Naval pilots and aircrew the chance to hone their skills before they start flying the new combat helicopters, the MH-60R Seahawks or the new MRH-90 helicopters.”
The lease of these helicopters is necessary to assist in the skills development of Naval aircrew following the cancellation of the failed Seasprite project.
These new helicopters will operate for four years from 2012 and are expected to fly around 1500 hours per year.
