UK MFTS Fixed Wing Flying Training : The Future
The UKMFTS Programme is delivering a world-class, state-of-the-art training system which is a global exemplar for training aircrew in preparation for the operational front line.
And Shawbury is a little slow, so what? If you look at the growth area, that will deliver on time or up to 11 weeks early.
We are getting there, and when it’s signed off it is guaranteed to be ahead of the game internationally. In under 4 years we will be training other nationalities and making good money from it. The future is worth the odd hiccup now.
Ive had sub par students during the last 12 months, but the updates are hopeful.

The Hawk thread seems to indicate all training will be done in simulators in the relatively near future..............

Maybe the whole validity of the competition and their 'winning' bid needs to be revisited.

And I think that's just the helicopter bit he's talking about ....
But how many times has the 'requirement' been altered, usually at short notice?
Here's the latest change of plan - RAF C130 Increase in Crews
And how many sticking plasters have already had to be applied ?

Proone - just pointing out, as if it really needs highlighting, that the rotary side of MFTS has been a great waste of time and money with plenty of senior officers believing the snake-oil salesmen from Ascent when they told them they had great new ways to deliver flying training cheaper!
They won the contract, couldn't deliver and are now being baled out with the injection of more public cash - a bloody disgrace.

I know this is a bit of a stab in the dark but does anyone know how many pilots are currently on hold? As it's been a year since it was on the news when apparently 350 were holding, just thought it would be interesting to know what the numbers are now/if anything has improved.

Yes, it has taken a while to dent the backlog created by the Govt changing its mind over the number of aircrew needed, but the holds are overall getting shorter, the aircraft are pretty darned good and the end product....well we'll have to wait and see but let's please not have a "we were better in my day" debate.
