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. 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 reducing the USAF Pilot Shortage. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F.
