The main activity of the contingent focused on mentoring the air and ground crews of the Afghan Air Force by providing them flying and technical training. In addition, in order to ensure the sustainability of the training in cooperation with Afghan aircraft maintenance technicians, the contingent conducted test flights with the Mi–171V5 transport helicopters stationed on the air base. As a result of task execution, the eighth rotation of the HDF Mi–17 Air Advisory Team has successfully completed the training of two helicopter co-pilot, three flight engineer and 11 door gunner instructors. Furthermore, the rotation has finished academic and simulator training for five helicopter pilot instructors and commenced on-the-job flying training for two flight engineer instructors.
