Adequate number of following aircrafts are being used for imparting training to Indian Air Force (IAF) pilots:
- Basic Trainer Aircraft;
- Intermediate Jet Trainer; and
- Advance Jet Trainer
The available strength of pilots in the IAF is sufficient to meet the current operational requirements.
Every year, the IAF participates in a number of career fairs/exhibitions, releases advertisements in newspapers/television and conducts numerous lectures in schools and colleges to motivate the target group.
This information was given by Raksha Rajya Mantri Shri Shripad Naik in a written reply to Shri Ramcharan Bohra in Lok Sabha today.
