The original A400M specification included the requirements to dispatch troops via static line at low and high altitude and freefall from high altitude from both the rear parachute side doors and cargo ramp. Trials have demonstrated that A400M can safely dispatch parachutists via the cargo ramp and using a single side door. At this time that capability has not been used by the UK. Airbus have demonstrated a technical solution to the well-publicised technical challenges of dispatching parachutists simultaneously from both side doors, which is under-going evaluation through the ongoing contracted Airbus development programme.

There was no requirement for changes to Tornado parachute training after the introduction of the GQ 5000 parachute in 2010 as it had no effect on the drills completed by the individual upon ejection. The aircrew involved in the Moray Firth accident were up to date with their parachute training at the time of the accident.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what training was provided for Tornado crew members in the operation and control of the GQ 5000 parachute prior to the collision of two Tornado aircraft over the Moray Firth in July 2012.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what training was provided for Tornado crew members in the operation and control of the GQ 5000 parachute prior to the collision of two Tornado aircraft over the Moray Firth in July 2012.
Tornado aircrew are required to undertake a range of parachute training, including parachute flight and landing drills. Training covers canopy handling, safe landing procedures, actions to be carried out when bailing out over water, the effects of drift, parachute dragging on the ground and in water, and harness release. This training should be undertaken every two years, and has not changed since 2012.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many military personnel were injured in parachuting accidents in the last year for which figures are available.
