That is even more worrying....
Therefore AT was included in scope of the project... and the decision to settle on 9+5 ac was the result of modelling on the total AT and AAR requirement. Slightly more than 50% of the ac and 50% of the peacetime AFT requirement is now based on AT.
That is illogical. If the original requirement was to meet the DSG tasks and the number of aircraft required to meet the
AAR requirement was 14 (actually it was more than that + 1 spare) and that only included core AT, how can the fleet sizing go down when more AT is brought into core?
So we need fewer aircraft to do more tasks at maximum concurrency?
Something stinks?
