43rd Flying Training Squadron [43rd FTS]
The mission of the 43rd FTS is to train and provide a reserve of experienced instructor pilots to augment the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) instructor pilot force in the event of wartime mobilization conditions.
The unit augments the daily operation of training students in Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training and Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals.
The 43rd also upgrades instructor pilots to mission-ready status and provides continuation training.
During wartime, or in the event of hostilities, the unit is mobilized to offset the anticipated loss of experienced active duty pilot inputs into AETC's Pilot Instructor Training pipeline.
