Guys, while you people talk about L-15, do not ignore wangrong's JL-9.

Its a very very good candidate and have heard rumors about this one too and wangrong reporting it makes it more credible.

 

[Durrak]

hmm

 

[Myth_buster_1]

JL9

No offense but this JL-9 trainer is a modified JJ-7.

PAF will be better off with Twin seater JF-17 and L-15.

 

[Comet]

Good News!
We really require some new Trainers.

 

[Kompromat]

Its going to be a sad news for Sherdils T-37 lovers

the twin-seater JF-17 program has been canceled

 

[Kompromat]

the twin-seater JF-17 program has been canceled

I have no confirmation as yet but as i was told that L-15 would be enough for Fighter conversion course i would say it may be true.

 

[Cent4]

the twin-seater JF-17 program has been canceled

any source.
thats a shocking news.

 

[wangrong]

 

[Wingman]

That would be a great addition, hopefully PAF would be getting on trial and check purpose........

@ WANGRONG.....Good work

 

[Wingman]

the twin-seater JF-17 program has been canceled

Pilots get themselves trained in simulators before being handed over the real jets and in real environment................Just to add here from the history no dual seat version of A5s (Fantans) were provided to PAF, pilots used to train on FT6s (dual seat F6).........at least six FT6s were still in service after their phasing out in 2000

A Pakistani official stated that the Pakistan side has elected to proceed with the development of a twin-seat version of the Chengdu FC-1 or JF-17 in Pakistan service. A CATIC official refused to comment on this development. The Pakistan Air Force’s requirement for a twin seat version of this fighter was first noted to the author by Pakistan Air Force officials in 2004. However, subsequent reports have noted that China was not interested in such a twin-seat version of the FC-1. The Pakistani official at the Dubai show stated, however, that Pakistan has elected to pay for the development of the twin seat version, and that is now proceeding. This official explained that as Pakistan is sharing in the full spectrum of production, usage and sales of the JF-17, that it therefore requires the twin seat version to fully exploit this aircraft. The twin seat version will be used to support training missions and will also be developed into a dedicated attack model.

Pakistan is now funding development of a twin-seat version of this low-cost multirole fighter. Source: RD Fisher
