pilot is 13 weeks eft at a UAS, then streaming onto either rotart, FJ or ME. FJ pilots go on to RAF Lintion-On-Ouse to do BFT then to Valley to do AFT then to an OCU for their chosen aircraft. Rotary pilots go to DHFS at Shawbury to do a single engine and possibly a twin engine (advance) course then to an OCU. I'm not sure about the multi's, I think it's Cranwell on the BAE 125s?

Multi engine streams do their EFT then move on to Multi engine lead in (MELIN) and have 30 hours on the firefly. You then go to 45(R) sqn at Cranwell and train on the Beechcraft King Air for 70 hours. Then onto an OCU
