BFTS JP Syllabus
The JP5A syllabus in the mid 70s was great fun - 100hrs learning to fly it then 60hrs of low level, formation, IF and night flying. On night flying only allowed to do 3 circuits then out to initials for another go - aim was to get JP flying as fast as possible from down wind to initials then max rate turn before full power return to break into the circuit really enjoyable

I cannot remember which hurt more - being told before the debrief that I had made at least 57 big mistakes in a one hour sortie, or realising after the debrief that my QFI was right.

Jayteeto, maybe you had some of the same QFIs as I did. The instructional attitude of some of them was appalling.
One debrief (not mine, I hasten to add):
"By pressing the engine start button, Bloggs sets into motion a series of events over which he has little control".

.and of course, the old chestnut
"Bloggs is totally incapable of undertaking two tasks at the same time, and since he needs to breathe................"

.......................Funnily enough my F-4 OCU groundschool notes from 1980 are still on my office shelf, next to some more modern civvy stuff... but for some reason
the JP Instructors guide haven't survived several house moves ( though I still have the "sequence" notes)......Max, I may be able to work out the early sorties, ( E of C, S&L 1 etc) from my logbooks, but as for detailed syllabus - nope, sorry.
