The Department of Defense has developed the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS) as a modern aircraft for use in initial pilot training. The Air Force is committed to using JPATS, while the Navy intends to delay procurement while continuing to use the T-34. Because of the Navy's decision to continue using the T-34 to train its undergraduate pilots and a recent history of reduced defense spending, the time appears right to determine the most cost- effective way of meeting the Navy's long-term needs for initial pilot training. Although there are a number of ways of meeting these needs, contracting out deserves serious consideration. In this document, we look into the feasibility of contracting out the primary phase of Navy undergraduate pilot training (UPT).
