Need statistics, experience other players.
I can do test, but it is very long time to do. And need a few tests for check.

No, I newer have Army pilots in TRACOM. Only IJN. I only had one month of play.

The fact that you only had one month of play may be a factor here, as its not supposed to work that way.

To get a 'TRACOM advance' to your pilot training you're supposed to have at least 10 pilots in the TRACOM based on nationality and/or branch of service. IOW Army pilots don't advance Navy trainees. So with Japan you have IJN and IJA pilots. You need at least 10 of each to get an advance in that category.

I'm no expert on how this works exactly, and I don't know of any, except maybe one. As with so many other things in this game a lot goes on behind the scenes, and we'll never be privy to them. From what I can gather there seems to be some kind of chance when you have met the criteria for an advance in the training cycle. It seems to be a figure that is based on the number of pilots in increments of 10 that is set that gives you a chance to get some of them moved more quickly through the process. I'm sure there're a number(s) of die rolls that affect the outcome. If there's a chance at the start of the game that this may happen, I do not know. Also I don't know if the number I've speculated about is rest every month or cumulative, and/or reset, or not, when the event occurs. What I do know is that the event doesn't seem to be that common. Maybe if I had more pilots in the TRACOM the event would occur more often, I would tend to think so, but...

So, all this blather is just pure conjecture on my part. What I can say with certainty is that it happens at times when the conditions are met. Like many things in this game I just take it at that and go on. If you try to dissect everything in this game you can go nuts. Not only that you'll ruin the fun of the game.

Of course the above is JMHO. YMMV.

I seriously don't think you'll be able to come up with any sort of valid test. Too many variables and no real knowledge of the code to do so. I wouldn't waste my time. Just accept the fact that the event does sometimes occur and be content to get the savings in HI for Japan. The only thing AFB's get here is a few more pilots in a given month.

If you playing as Allies, you can not think about anything. Play as Japan is not only tactics and strategy, BUT economy! It is very important!

I get it, but I just think you're headed down the 'rabbit hole' if you think you can perfect a test. Just advising you to not waste time on something that's pretty insignificant in game terms. Of course, you may feel differently, and do as you please.
