Whilst the discussion of the risks / merits / techniques of this PEFATO apply only to single engine fast jets, and since I somehow can’t see them practicing this in the F35, this debate is strictly a Hawk debate. The HF issues apply to every type, and I am sure that every type experiences the sort of administrative overload that, at least partly, affected R3. I recently heard of pilots on an operational deployment being used to guard the gate IN ADDITION to their op flying , and of a pilot on a course having nowhere to sleep because the accommodation booking process was too labarynthine for him to complete in the time he had. Does the catering on Op Shader yet manage to provide a hot meal before a 7 hour trip?
These issues need need to be addressed across the whole RAF by people that understand the requirements of an op tempo flying program before everyone leaves or, heaven forbid, has more accidents. It may cost money, but training pilots costs more.
