Use of F7PG in advance trainer role

[pg7]

Can PAF use F-7PG as advanced trainer?

Have you researched War Hawks No18 Squadron F-7P OCU [Operational Conversion Unit]

Have you researched War Hawks No18 Squadron F-7P OCU [Operational Conversion Unit]

for F-7PG pilots.

for F-7PG pilots.

His Question is still not complete what is it he wants to know...F-7PG as Trainer for?

@pg7 9-10 FT-7P OCU to PG And 8 FT-7PG for Advanced Training for PG beyond that I believe No 11 Squadron F-16A/B has has also the duties of OCU and mult-irole Task.

he wants to know if the F-7PG trainer can be used a AJT for all types of aircraft. the answer is no.

for almost all types PAF has a OCU.
F-16's the B/D models
Mirages the Mirage Twin seater
F-7PG the FT-7PG
for trainee fighter pilots before being assigned to a type - mashshak-> T-37 -> K-8 and depending on their proficiency.
JFT has a trainer gap therefore 26 sqdn also acts as a OCU and thats why it is rumoured that PAF may be acquiring the L-15 AJT.

dig out x-man's threads and you will get your answers. he was a former A-5 pilot.

I think PAF had done some mistakes in the past like they can work with Chinese along with EU countries, for License production of F-7P/FT-7Ps at PAC with EU avionics on board in 1987. They can produce about 85 F-7P and 25 FT-7P(10 FT-7Ps for CSS Trainer). Later on in 110 F-7PGs at PAC with EU avionics on board from 1999, 85 F-7PG and 25 FT-7PG(10 FT-7PGs for CSS Trainer).

So in this way they can phase out FT-6 earlier along with FT-5(IF they have produce K-8Ps from 1992 with 7-10 Aircraft yearly with EU avionics).

I am quite sure that these 200 F-7s would have played a major role in learning as well as combat capability of PAF and PAC...

Mate, do you think that the L-15 can be used as a multi-purpose trainer in that it can serve as an OCU for the F-7s, the JF-17s, the F-16s & possibly the J-10Bs (if we acquire them) ?

L-15 would take the role of K-8. thats all i am suggesting. once a pilot is designated to F-16, Mirage, F-7 or JFT, he undergoes OCU training. L-15 wont replace all the other twin-seaters we have.

Just that ! Why would we then need to procure it when the K-8s for all intents & purposes seem to operating well enough !

I believe it would act as an advanced trainer, a step above say the K-8.
Pilots transitioning from say the FT-5, T-37 or K-8 would end up in a Mach-2 cockpit, with something like L-15 pilots get the fast jet/supersonic experience that comes with a twin engine safety.....more over such platform can also be put into good combat use.

i am not sure but the PAF is having difficulty transitioning pilots to the JFT without a JF-17B OCU. K-8 is not a AJT by modern standards. its a poor man's AJT.

How many K-8s are in service? Didn't PAF just order more K-8s? What's the point in having another trainer in the form of L-15?

Please shed some light.

Thanks.

59 K-8's and for the rest of your query, i would suggest asking AHQ. my info is limited.
