Recent deployment cycles have stretched the ability of Harrier squadrons to train pilots to meet deployment requirements. An aging high maintenance fleet and low pilot retention add to the difficulty of ensuring training goals can be reached. To fill the requirement for new pilots in the fleet, the Harrier Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS) has deferred flights and shortened the training cycle for new Harrier pilots, but in doing so has increased the training requirement for these new pilots once they reach the fleet. The Harrier FRS must complete aviation training requirements and stop deferring flights to reduce the burden on operation squadrons.
