Training Developments
Abstract
Pilot Training Next (PTN) offers a more effective approach to pilot training. New training technologies will be studied and validated. Results will be used by Air Education and Training Command to develop processes and procedures to increase pilot production, improve and streamline existing training programs, and to incorporate into other programs. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver PTN weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. Alignment to the NDS: PTN is part of a complete redesign of pilot training using cutting edge technology to provide a faster, more cost effective and more comprehensive training model to get the warfighter to the cockpit in half the time of the existing model. Funding contained in this documentation directly aids Air Education and Training Command's flying training enterprise to continue its overall Future Years Defense Program pilot production increase starting in FY 2020, thus reducing the USAF Pilot Shortage. 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.
