7/9/2008 | At the same time, the business of training ETPS students on the most advanced fast-jet combat aircraft available to test pilots anywhere in the world continues unabated.
The first ETPS instructor pilots (IPs) flew their first Gripen sorties in 1999. Since then over 90 ETPS IPs and test pilot students from around the world have used Gripen as a key part of their annual fast jet training course. 2008 is no exception. The first phase of this years course began in April/May and the second phase will take place in September.
Each course typically comprises three IPs and a group of test pilot students. The ETPS is an international organisation and this year the seven Gripen students are drawn from the UK, Netherlands, Pakistan, Singapore and Switzerland.
