Single seat instruction
With the coming of the F-35 to the RAF/RN inventory, I was just musing about the change in flying instruction required to get the guys through the OCU in a single seat jet..
With other modern FJ of course you usually have a twin seat option (mostly), so you have someone in the boot casting a watchful eye over the stude in the front.
I'm sure there are many QFI's/QWI's/QPI's out there who either have a view or some practical experience. I'm assuming synthetic training plays an exceedingly large part in the OCU course of single seat FJ's? And of course, every second in the air will be recorded and downloadable for post sortie debriefs.
Happy to hear any thoughts.
Thanks
