Yulista Tactical Services is a “collection of small businesses serving military customers in the aerospace and defense industry across the globe”. The team at the Wallops Island facility supports the missions of the US Navy, US Air Force and NASA.
While researching options for weight and balance training, Yulista reached out to contacts within the US Navy to recommend an instructor with extensive experience and longevity in the industry. Intercomp’s courses are led by Pat McIntyre, Director of Weight & Balance Training, an instructor with over three decades of weighing experience. During the training program, student’s received classroom and practical instruction using the seamless wireless interface of Intercomp’s platform aircraft scales and the AWBS software application. Topics covered included weighing requirements, weighing preparation, procedures, documentation, and troubleshooting. Intercomp provides in-depth and comprehensive weight and balance training to commercial, military units, and military contractors.
NASA aircraft types assigned to Wallops Flight Facility include P-3 Orion, C-130 Hercules, and B-200 King Air. Having a team that has completed Weight & Balance Process Certification will ensure safety and compliance for future Wallops missions, programs and projects.
