- Fighter Pilot is a BBC television documentary series that was broadcast in the UK on BBC One, from 9 September to 28 October 1981. It was about the training of fast jet pilots in the Royal Air Force and followed the progress of six candidates as they went through the three-year programme. The BBC and the RAF first agreed to work together on a documentary in 1978, when there was a poor level of recruitment and a shortage of pilots in the service. At the time it cost £1 million to train a pilot (£4 million in 2011). The training process, from selection to operational service has a high drop-out rate and only one of the six original candidates went on to fly fast jets. Three of the candidates were airmen who already served in the RAF, while the others were from civilian backgrounds (qualified nurse, zoologist and milkman/farm worker). The series was produced by Colin Strong, who closely followed the candidates for three-and-a-half years. To gain a detailed insight in to the process, he undertook the RAF basic flying training course himself and flew solo in a Jet Provost. (en)

Tratava-se da formação de pilotos de aviões rápidos na Real Força e seguiu o progresso de seis candidatos ao longo do programa de três anos. A BBC e a RAF concordaram em trabalhar juntos em um documentário em 1978, quando havia um baixo nível de recrutamento e uma escassez de pilotos no serviço. No momento, custou £ 1 milhão para treinar um piloto (£ 4 milhões em 2011). O processo de treinamento, desde a seleção até o serviço operacional, tem alta taxa de abandono e apenas um dos seis candidatos originais passou a pilotar jatos rápidos. Três dos candidatos eram aviadores que já serviam na RAF, enquanto os outros eram de origem civil (enfermeiro qualificado, zoólogo e leiteiro/trabalhador agrícola). A série foi produzida por Colin Strong, que acompanhou de perto os candidatos por três anos e meio. Para ganhar uma introspecção detalhada no processo, empreendeu o curso de treinamento de vôo básico de RAF ele mesmo e voou solo em um Provost de Jato. (pt)
