<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>
