The schedule forecast for FOC has slipped by 42 months from the original plan. Whilst the final aircraft is expected to be delivered by September 2010 and project deliverables complete by June 2011, the FOC will not be achieved until December 2012. The apparent 12 month delay from the 2007-08 MPR to this report for FOC is due to a more accurate measure of when the complete ARH regimental unit is a fully trained operational capability rather than the point at which operationally capable aircraft and systems are delivered by the project. There have been no major changes to actual project schedule since the 2007-08 MPR.
