About this file

This is an Industry Day presentation from Air Education and Training Command (AETC) outlining plans for Initial Pilot Training (IPT) commercial services. The presentation details AETC's requirement for commercial flight training providers to deliver Private Pilot Certificate (PPC), Instrument Rating (IR), and Multi-Engine Land (MEL) training to military pilot candidates within a maximum of 139 calendar days per Joint Travel Regulation guidance.

The Air Force has conducted three Small Group Tryouts (SGTOs) using both Educational Service Agreements and Aircrew, Maintenance & Training contracts, with cohorts of 25-30 students graduating successfully. A formal RFP is expected in April/May 2025 using a Commercial Solutions Opening approach under DFARS 212.70. The acquisition will use a multi-phase evaluation process with solution briefs, potential pitch sessions, and detailed proposals. Multiple awards are anticipated. Key requirements include FAA Part 141 certification, all-glass cockpit aircraft, handling international candidates, and ability to scale to meet a 1,500 pilot annual production target. The 338th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron (338 ESS) emphasized they seek commercial solutions with minimal mobilization time, innovation, and best value approaches.
