The Airpad primarily houses the air crews, the maintenance crews, and the equipment required to assemble, refit, refuel, repair, and rearm various UNSC aircraft, including the [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornet]], [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk|Sparrowhawk]], [[AC-220 Vulture|Vulture]], and [[EV-44 Nightingale|Nightingale]].{{Ref/Reuse|hwsite}}{{Ref/Reuse|PL}} The building also houses banks of simulation pods to train pilots in everything from the basics to advanced tactical maneuvers; there have been instances in which firebase commanders have assigned any able bodies to the simulators for a crash course in operating the Hornet.{{Ref/Reuse|hwsite}} The building also supports the force commander with sensor feeds and intelligence uplinks which allow for proper battlespace deconfliction, kill chain assignment, and other aerospace management tasks.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}} | |||
