JN,

“Systems Approach to Flying Training” I think, but I am LONG out of this training scheme!
BEagle,
Wasn’t it about the same time that the term Fast Jet was coined as Group 1? I dread to think of the comparative standard of airmanship of the average ME stude bowling up at AFTS or even at OCU, especially if they are ex UAS with all the hassle and spread of flying involved.
The RAF used to have a training system second to none, now I have no beef with leases or even contractor owned training aircraft, but I have a real worry about hours and overall airmanship, are we seeing a real dip in experience? Add that to reduced hours at the front line and this is only heading one way.
BRING BACK BFTS FOR ALL.
