The firm will start training as of June 2020 in Turkey’s newly established aviation academy, according to SAHA Istanbul Defence and Aerospace Cluster Association.

At the first stage, 30 Pakistani Pilots will be trained at the School of Aviation Training and Services and the number of pilots will be increased gradually in the following period.

Ilhami Keles, the secretary general of SAHA Istanbul, said products and systems manufactured in Turkey will be made available to Pakistani pilots during the training.

Emre Uzar, the general manager of Yontem Teknoloji, stated that the Turkish firm will share its experience on simulators and training sets in compliance with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation and European Union Aviation Safety Agency.

"Turkey has become a defense technology exporter, our goal is to make Turkey a world leader in the field of technology and education by developing more products," Uzar noted.

This news is a couple of days old. It seems it more T-37 related.

It might also be training on the TAI Hurkus. Could be an opportunity for the PAF to understand how young pilots fare on the Hurkus and benchmark them against those training on the T-37.

Is this company, Yontem Teknoloji in anyway affliated with TAI (Turkish Aerospace Industries)?

Did Turkey fly the Fouga Magister?

Any specific systems or platform?

I think there are a few who have flown the Hurkus and moved directly to T-38s. They were very impressed with it.

 

[Pakistan Space Agency]

Why does PAF pilots need training from Turkey? I thought Pakistan has its own training schools, infrastructure.

 

[Ali_Baba]

i dont think it is pilots, but engineers....

 

[Trailer23]

i dont think it is pilots, but engineers....

I assumed that too, but the article is directly from Anadoulu Agency (in Turkey) and its states 'Pilots'.

Another Turkish News Agency has reported the same:
https://eurasiantimes.com/turkey-to-train-pakistani-pilots/

Note: The Express Tribune covered the exact same story, but (quite possibly) got carried away by posting the image (below)...

 

[GriffinsRule]

This is for engineers and keep in mind project AZM, training a cadre of PAF engineers who will come back and help with Pakistan's own aviation industry ambitions.
Turkey itself has a shortage of pilots after the failed coup attempt. They dont have capacity to train 30 additional pilots from another air force, nor does PAF require that many pilots going abroad for training given its own infrastructure.

It means PAF will send these cadets pilots to train further on Hurkus means instead procurement from turkey PAF will send them to train in turkey???

 

[Sulman Badshah]

PAF pilots are already getting training on KT1 Woongbai in Turkey in pilot exchange program

Now it might be on hurkus

 

[Hakikat ve Hikmet]

I am pretty sure the training regime will include flying past S-400 without getting detected while destroying it...

turkey is our true friend like china

There are no "friendships" in international geopolitics....most Chinese don't even know Pakistan exists or care about it....

An example:

Look at how he doesn't even consider Pakistan as an "ally"^

He even goes onto calling allies "bloodsuckers".

My post is off-topic but we should get rid of this one sided mentality of "true friends" blah blah blah.....there are only mutually beneficial relationships....no more, no less.

Otherwise the Pakistani government wouldn't be a mute in front of China on the Uyghur matter and many other too...just recently, an article came out saying that all those persecuted in the illegal marriage trafficking were given a pardon because people higher up thought it might "damage our relationship" with China...
