Sky, I have asked the question.
Let us make some assumptions including the FOI figures.
5300 present to AFCO
1780 are passed to OASC - 33%
Pilot recruitment at about 125 pa - 600
97.875% pass out ie 582
Assume 45 per year into FJ OCUs - 180
78% then pass through to the FJ OCU - 140
On these figures only one in 38 get from application to AFCO to a FJ OCU.
What I have no feel for is the disposal of the 22% that fail to reach a FJ OCU; whether they are rebranched or reboarded to ME/RW.
PS
From a subjective view, about 2.5% would wash out of nav school for reasons unassociated with officer qualities and aircrew aptitude, things like medical and personal reasons among them. Medical issues are probably as significant at IOT with some voluntarily withdrawing from training.

Reason: Figures reworked on revised OASC output
