24 April 2015F-35 Introduction
These are just some examples
Bottom line:
Training is dispersed, which can be more efficient and effective when we work together in some kind of EACTC
![Page 27: Another Coalition Airpower Dynamic: Training for Next Generation Aircraft](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5d8a61a28aba56e8b4600/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

24 April 2015F-35 Introduction
Way ahead RNLAF? Low, Med, Hi readiness sqn
Less and more F-35 hrs
More and less CA aircraft hrs;
Equal sim hrs (120?)
Full service delivered aircraft
![Page 28: Another Coalition Airpower Dynamic: Training for Next Generation Aircraft](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5d8a61a28aba56e8b4600/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Royal Netherlands Air Force28
24 April 2015F-35 Introduction
Way ahead RNLAF?
Start EACTC
Start like EATC, small, few countries
When successful: growth
No large EU, NATO, EAG initiatives: flex! Decisions
![Page 29: Another Coalition Airpower Dynamic: Training for Next Generation Aircraft](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5d8a61a28aba56e8b4600/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Royal Netherlands Air Force29
24 April 2015F-35 Introduction
Start with smaller partner in Europe: flex in trng, req, syllabus,
Existing school to start with: infra
Modern a/c in place to download hours!
Std syllabi to “sell” training slots in Europe

Pilot Lecce
2 students; 1 IP
“is the T-346 a suitable FLIT for the F-35”
“Can Lecce fulfill the RNLAF req for pilot trng” Modern a/c, Infra, WX,
facilities, syllabus, flex, costs, airspace, closer to home…

Conclusion There is a window of opportunity in transfer to 5th gen aircraft
To reduce cost
To maximize Eff trng
To have more combat a/c available for Ops

Conclusion
We all face the same problems
We need innovative and financially sound solutions
Especially the small air forces in Europe
Money needs to go to real world ops
Training for that needs to be efficient and effective
EACTC!
