This is what I was talking about, Kaan can teach the pilot how to fly, there is no need for other planes. A pilot does not need to go through all the old school phases of flight training. Kaan will be safe for both the pilot and itself.
Big part of modern jet training is cost management. If you ever go to İzmir you'll see that tens of T-38s start their routine every monday at 9 and fly in business hours until Friday 5PM. That's hundreds of flighthours every month. It's expensive. Doing LIFT training with Kaan is just meaningless. It is literally the single most expensive aircraft design our air force could think of.This is what I was talking about, Kaan can teach the pilot how to fly, there is no need for other planes.

You will be saving from keeping costs of lots of other planes. Pilots will not need to transition from one plane to another. Ground simulations will also be part of this. It is better to waste a couple more planes for training than partitioning the training between multiple platforms. It will take a shorter time for sure. Cost will still be be tolerable and Kaan will get more attention and be perfected as the only son of the family and one of our own making.Big part of modern jet training is cost management.

But, all these simulators and SIM modes will make conversion training when the pilot joins the squadron much easier.
Simple detail, both prototypes were in air. Wonder what's the latest sortie number for the program is. They were on flight 300 back on October 10.Hürjet looking nice
