Pakistan F-16 Discussions 2

PAF demonstrated it's ability to scramble against an intrusion in three minutes instead of the usual six minute window.

This basically looks at certain critical steps they could process prior to alert status(and hope nothing effects those) to basically letting certain steps complete after takeoff.

What the PAF should do and probably wont think of is to take a pit crew optimization for its maintenance staff as a hospital in the UK did.
After all, if a hospital which much more varied situations can do it; a flight crew with standardized practices should have no issue.
Pit-stops during Formula One or NASCAR races are one the most time crucial situations in any field. A matter of seconds can determine whether a team succeeds or fails, and is similar to the stressful climate of a hospital’s emergency room. Doctors realized that time is vital for both ER staff and motor-racing pit-crews, and this in turn motivated hospitals to change the way things are currently being done.

Pit-crews are perfectly synchronized with each member and their tools, and move about the car in well organized and rehearsed patterns. Of course it’s difficult to practice in the ER, as everyday has the potential to be completely different to the previous, but still there’s much to be gained. According to Italian newspaper Il Giornale, a doctor at a hospital in the UK was inspired after watching an F1 race on TV when he recognized the number of similarities between the routines of the pit-crew and staff in the ER.

The doctor went so far as to contact Ferrari to learn about how the hospital staff could improve the process. People from Ferrari filmed the doctors at work and then analyzed the videos to see what steps could be taken to improve timing and coordination. Ferrari gave suggestions on staff training, temperament, synchronization and time-management, which has now been implemented in many hospitals across the UK.

I think this works well when you have a set of crew synchronised with one particular machine who are on standby due to an expected pit stop or an emergency case arriving. We saw something like this at Falcon meet in Jordan.... none the less it's a very good practice to be repeatedly rehearsed so when emergency rises, every one moves like a well oiled machine.
 
Is there any chance that PAF might get used F-16s Block-15 with upgrade kits from:
US: remaining 12 F-16s
USAF: old F-16s Block-15
Venuezvella: old F-16s Block-15

Jordanian F-16s Block-15 are coming for sure... But what about others.
Depends on the condition of existing surplus and mothballed stocks. The PAF will pursue the planes that have sufficient airframe hours left in them where it can.

Suspect /assume the latest discussion with turkey and LM may cover extending the life past 8k hours of aircraft basically developing an upgrade package which can be utilized when needed

Speaking of chances, what's the probability of Pakistan taking possession of some Turkish F-16s in exchange for Pakistan joining the TFX program? This will allow Pakistan to bypass the US Congress and the White House is likely to approve such transfer as they have approved the Jordanian purchases as previously.

Recently Pakistan awarded Turkey the contract to upgrade the Agosta-class submarines and is testing Turkish attack helicopters, in exchange Turkey agreed to buy Pakistani made Super Mushak trainer aircrafts. Could this work in the case of an F-16 exchange considering Turkey has hundreds of F-16s at its disposal, not to mention, they come pre-integrated with SOM Cruise Missiles, something that should interest Pakistan.

Even for that idea to take place Both PAF & TUAF need United States approval simply , nothing moves or speaks without daddy's permission.

PAF is only interested in buying JAF F-16s and I never heard that Turkey have F-16s for Disposal!!!

That's not a bad idea, but while Turkey may be content with the arrangement (I guess after furloughing so many pilots they might have planes to at least lease), U.S. approval for American hardware is necessary. Might not be impossible to get considering it doesn't need to pass through Congress, I believe the Pentagon and State Dept. should be sufficient.
