Chairman's Closing Remarks and Close of Conference

Abstract

Fighter training worldwide, in both real and synthetic environments, must focus on the introduction of new aircraft, such as Eurofighter Typhoon and JSF.

This year’s Fighter Training Conference analyses major training activity and global programmes, with an emphasis on training for new operational types. This Conference reviews current training capability gaps and the future requirement for Lead-In Fighter Trainers (LIFT) worldwide.

The event explores key training issues such as interoperability of training systems, international collaboration and safety. Furthermore this Conference enables delegates to hear solutions to challenges such as practical training for night operations and cost effective fighter pilot training.

Fighter training examines the role of the Hawk in the UK MFTS programme and offers attendees the chance to learn about the current training process, system advances in trainers and simulation.
