GAO reveals USAF’s “limited oversight” led to pilot training delays
The US Air Force continues using the 60-year-old T-38 training aircraft instead of a simulation system that has been in development for over a decades.
By John Hill
The US Government Accountability Office (GAO) has investigated the “limited oversight” the US Air Force (USAF) had over the development of its pilot training.
To train its pilots, the USAF uses the 60-year-old T-38 Talon twin-jet trainer aircraft even as new designs evolve. A new system for modern training jets and simulators is in development, but this is nearly a decade behind initial plans.
The GAO has made two recommendations to the USAF. First, the service must conduct a risk assessment that incorporates risks of overlapping development, testing, and production phases. Second, the USAF should be clear under what conditions it would accept production work completed prior to contract delivery.
The US Department of Defense (DoD) agreed with the GAO’s recommendations.

To think, the AF Chief of Staff, Gen. Davis, is to be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs! What leadership oversight this displays!
