Advanced Pilot Training
Abstract
Advanced Pilot Training (APT) program will deliver the capabilities needed to successfully train USAF pilots beyond 2024. The APT program will replace AETC’s aging T-38C fleet with new aircraft, Ground Based Training Systems (GBTS) (simulators, training devices, computer based training systems, academics, etc.), and support infrastructure currently used in the fighter/bomber advanced Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training (SUPT) track as well as in the Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals (IFF) program. The APT program will close training gaps in the current advanced pilot training system and will provide student pilots with the foundational flying skills and core competencies required to transition into current and future fighter/bomber aircraft. The Stores-Aircraft Interface project provides funding for development planning efforts in support of future capabilities. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production.
