Fighter Lead-In Training | Night Flying Operations

November 25, 2025

The International Tactical Training Centre continues to advance its Fighter Lead-In Training program with a series of structured night flying operations. These sorties are designed to develop proficiency, confidence, and tactical awareness in low-visibility environments – skills essential for students preparing to transition to front-line fighter aircraft.

Night training reinforces key competencies, including:
• Precision aircraft handling under reduced visual cues
• Effective communication and coordination within the training environment
• Application of tactical principles in complex operational conditions

These activities are made possible through the coordinated efforts of our instructors, maintenance personnel, and support staff, whose professionalism ensures the safe and effective execution of every mission.

ITTC remains committed to delivering high-quality, multi-national training that prepares future fighter aircrew for the demands of modern air operations, strengthens sovereign capability, and reinforces our role as a trusted partner to allied air forces around the world.
