Finals
Now the students face their most demanding task: test flying a front-line aircraft which they have never flown before.
The flying is difficult enough in itself - but it's only a part of the story - for then they have to write a report, virtually a flight manual.
To achieve that, the aircraft will have to be flown to the limits of its - and the pilot's - abilities.
