[21FMV7006] Request for Information for Advanced Trainer Aircraft (ATA) System

PAS 2023 – Dispersed operations, multidomain centred and multinationally connected, these are the three pillars of the Swedish Air Force development, which gets ready to train its pilots in Italy

Talking training, the Swedish Air Force started receiving its new Grob G 120TP training aircraft, known as SK 40. These are currently flying but not yet operational, Phase 1 syllabus not being yet provided on those aircraft. To reach the skills required to fly the Gripen the small turboprop is definitely not sufficient. Maj.Gen. Wikman predecessor already highlighted the fact that due to the fact that Saab Gripen C/Ds are back to full operational use due to the geopolitical situation, and will remain so for quite some time, Swedish pilots would go training abroad to reach Phase 4 before switching to the combat aircraft. In Paris the service chief confirmed that the choice has been made, and that Swedish pilots will join the multinational community that is forming around at the International Flight Training School (IFTS), set up jointly by the Italian Air Force and Leonardo using the M-346 training aircraft, which redeployed from Puglia to the new campus purposely built at Decimomannu, Sardinia. The Swedish Air Force recently suffered a lack of pilots, and is now rebuilding its manpower, also considering the new fighter regiment that will be formed with Gripen E fighters. “We will start sending our pilots to the IFTS in August 2024,” Maj.Gen. Wikman told EDR On-Line, “and initially they will follow Phase 2 to Phase 4 training, while then they will do only Phase 3 and 4,” he said, adding that around 12 pilots per year will train in Sardinia. The decision to go for the IFTS has been made, EDR On-Line understood, and the service is already planning for this although the formal signature on an agreement has not yet been inked. Such a solution should last around 10 years, Sweden not excluding the acquisition of a training aircraft in the future.
