The number of pilots recruited used to be 125 and is believed to be about the same now. The categorisations now are likely to be more towards ME than FJ as there are only 2 FJ training schemes.

As for NCA they, they will almost certainly be part of those presenting at OASC and not being considered for a commission/pilot. The major consideration here being commissioning potential and not aircrew aptitude.

The FOI request does not address NCA and I have no feel for numbers from external or in-house recruitment.
