Training a Typhoon pilol

摘要

It's 0730hrs and pilots stream into the main briefing room at No 29 Squadron, the Typhoon Operational Conversion Unit (OCU), for the morning 'met brief. As the name suggests, this is based around the day's weather, but it also takes into account the available aircraft for the flying programme and any admin that needs to be addressed. Flt Lt Craig (surname omitted for security reasons) is already on a tight timeline. He's well into the planning cycle for his mission today.
