The RAF Pipeline Management Team, governed through the Aircrew Pipeline Steering Group, actively manage the pilot training pipelines to ensure that trainee flowthrough is kept to an optimum to reduce periods of holdover for trainees between training courses. In 2022-23 and 2023-24 there was a managed reduction in some of the training pipelines to appropriately control the numbers of trainees in holdover ahead of joining OCUs. Additionally, as already documented, Hawk T2 engine issues impacted the number of Fast Jet pilots trained during this period.<\/p>

The average cost of flying training per trainee is not currently compiled on an annual basis. The last time in-depth cost modelling conducted was in Financial Year 2021-22.<\/p>
<\/p>
The average cost of flying training for Royal Air Force (RAF) pilots in Financial Year 2021-22 was as follows:<\/p>
<\/p>
RAF Fast Jet: £5,362,085<\/p>
RAF Multi Engine: £ 953,817<\/p>
RAF Rotary Wing: £1,041,843<\/p>
