It will be interesting to see how the airports & airspace cope with their flying training.

When Prestwick was the base for BAe flying college 1987-1999, the first CFI (GVS) reckoned that the capacity of the Prestwick system with ATC fully manned was 23 ac. This accounted for daily deployments to West Freugh, and a base at Carlisle for the basic phase which consisted of 52 hours.
The 200 flying hours + simulator was completed after 14 months. (CAP509) Two months of what is now called MCC/JOC followed for the BA student.
Post the first Gulf War in 1990, BA reduced the training, and by 1993 has essentially stopped their sponsorship scheme.
The business unit moved to Jerez 1999/2000.
