On our AEF, the cadets receive a 10 minute briefing from me, then they see the video, and then they are each individually briefed by the pilot with whom they are planned to fly on just what is going to happen on their trip and what they are going to be taught.
Incidentally that is a system I haven't seen at any other AEF, but I did find extremely good. I think all were better off for it. Perhaps not for the horse like dog though
Back on to the subject for a moment; If the UAS's were to reduce to a 10 hr/per year flying experience type profile, what would become of the excess capacity in the system? Is there any PFI penalties for under utilisation of the fleet, or would there be a change in contract terms, an extended period of EFT, etc? Or, would it signal an expansion in UAS recruitment?
