Model of military pilot education and training from the aspect of new aircraft acquisition

Abstract

Military pilot education, including flight training is a long, expensive and complex process. The main goal is to produce as many skilled professionals ready to perform flight tasks on the front-line aircraft and push them to the limits with complete control. To achieve this goal it is necessary to select and educate young people with aptitude and abilities to perform the most demanding military flight tasks. The creation of the model of military pilot education and training hardly depends on aircraft types, which are used in operational service in the front-line units. The acquisition of new aircraft imposes the change of the model of military pilot education. This paper describes the possible model of military pilot education from the aspect of the acquisition of the new aircraft in the Serbian Air Force.
