A busy morning on the #UKMFTS Showcase at the @airtattoo, with our trainees and instructors being interviewed by @totallykeen for Air Tattoo Live Radio. If you’re at #RIAT25 or in the local area, tune into 87.7FM later today to hear all about their flying training. @AscentFlight

Fantastic to see this coverage of the high performance training @RAF_Valley - congrats to 4 FTS, Gp Capt Ward and @RAFValleyStnCdr

Ever wondered what it is like to train as a Fast Jet pilot? @TheSun recently visited No. 4 Flying Training School at RAF Valley to see what it’s like flying at 500mph just 250ft off the ground as part of the world class training we deliver within #UKMFTS youtu.be/YnyEKAv-R8s?si…

RAF Valley hosted the Prime Minister yesterday to mark Armed Forces Week. During the visit, he had the opportunity to meet #UKMFTS trainees and see the world class training that we deliver at No. 4 Flying Training School. dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wal… @AscentFlight @RAFValleyStnCdr

We would like to welcome Wg Cdr Savage as the new Officer Commanding of 45 Squadron, who deliver Multi-Engine Pilot and Mission Aircrew Training as part of #UKMFTS We also pass on our thanks and best wishes to Wg Cdr Lockyer who has commanded the Squadron for the last 2 ½ years

Happy to lead a signing ceremony for two important projects in the air domain: the #NATO Flight Training Europe Initiative & the Cross-Border Airspace Cooperation initiative - both essential to keep our skies safe. ➡️ bit.ly/3HlT0vU

"Future ISTAR and Rear Crew Training System (FIRCTS)" will see recapitalised structures at Culdrose and Cranwell and new simulators with 68 new positions at Ascent (instructors etc, presumably). There is however no mention of increasing fleet of 4 Textron King Air 350E AVENGER.

@jdandroisin can we have a shout out for Harry Caine as we go to school!

@DanAbrahams77 Love this

10 things that require skills and competencies 10 things that are biopsychosocially driven 10 things that can be coach-influenced I understand why motivational gurus and (some) coaches love this…but a poster like this can shut down appreciation for human complexity, socio-cultural challenges in players’ lives, and the importance of player-coach negotiation when it comes to behavioural norms, rules, and preferences. Of course, player responsibility is critical in high performance environments. But overly-simplistic posters like this can do more harm than good. And many players see through them (and eventually ignore them!) Coaching is hard. And that’s ok!

Hawk T2 aircraft from No. 4 Flying Training School are currently deployed to Solenzara in Corsica on Ex FREEDOM HAWK to conduct essential training alongside the @Armee_de_lair while continuing to strengthen our ties with a key @NATO partner. #UKMFTS @Cabster3560 @RobbieCaine
