uin	199023
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/09/2023 answer text <p>The Royal Air Force manages the UK Military Flying Training System (UKMFTS) on behalf of Defence and constantly reviews flying training pipeline performance. Measures are introduced as and when required in order to strike the best balance between pipeline supply and the frontline demand for new pilots. In addressing training delays, end-to-end training pipeline measures are considered, as well as working with allies and partners to examine whether UK pilots could be trained overseas and where we might pool our resources to mutual benefit.</p><p>To this end, in the last 12-months improvements across the UKMFTS flying training pipelines have included: increasing UKMFTS trainee throughput by improving syllabi, training delivery and course sequencing; while also maximising use of pilots being trained on the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training programme in the USA, and a three year agreement with the International Flight Training School in Italy for provision of some training places.</p> answering member constituency Wells answering member printed James Heappey question first answered 20/09/2023 15:58:06 answering member 4528 label Biography information for James Heappey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2023 answer text <p>We continue to have sufficient aircrew to meet our operational commitments. A range of measures have been introduced to address challenges in the aircrew training pipeline, including the continued impact of the Hawk T2 engine issues which have reduced UK Sovereign pilot training capacity.
