Snoop ADM figures:

"Elementary Flying Training (EFT) phase with the tutor, on which the student accumulates at least 60 hours"

"Basic Fast Jet Training (BFJT) involves 124 flight hours + 40h Simulator time at RAF Linton-on-Ouse, North Yorkshire, on Short Tucano T.1s "

"Successful students pass to 4 FTS at RAF Valley, Anglesey, where they undertake advanced and weapons training on HS Hawk T.1 and T.1A variants "

"Each trainee spends some 28 hours in the Hawk Simulator and 140h airborne"

The air-force sees SIM time as enhanced hours but not a replacement for real flying time.

"Those who pass the course are awarded their ‘wings’ (the RAF Flying Badge), and most progress to operational conversion units on front-line types"


So even before OCU (which we might equate to a CivilainType rating/base training etc), At least 324h airborne (no civi taxi time included which would add at least 10 mins per sortie/maybe even 50h on the ground!), No additional poor weather/operational change times added. Plus some 68h SIM training.

Before OCU the majority would have 400 to 500h in civi terms.

(And to become a Hawk QFI, min is 500h P1 (First Pilot post wings)/18 months operational tour).

Compare this to an OAA/EZY MPL:

easyJet MPL First Officer Programme | Oxford Aviation Academy - OAA.com

75h SEP
5h MEP
5h SEP Aeros

Total: 85h flying total (and less Solo hours than a Private Pilot Licence).

SIM:

5h FNPT1
90h FNPT2

Total: 95 h SIM

TR (SIM):

66h A320 SIM
