pilot

Hi all, I have a place at Dartmouth in the coming months as a pilot, I have passsed everything and am absolutely over the moon about it. However in my eye tests I passed the required standards by the skin of my teeth. I am now slightly worried that a year or two into my training I will be...

A slot has opened up for me to start officer training in January, I got this offer today, which I accepted of course (Giving me only one months notice). I passed FATs back in March for ATC and Observer but just missed out on pilot which is what I originally wanted. I passed AIB in September. I...

Hi all, Does anyone have any thoughts on the differences/advantages/disadvantages of being a pilot in the FAA compared with the RAF? From all I have read, any differences are fairly minor but would love to get some input. Cheers

I've been told that I'm barred from RAF Aircrew Roles (ie. WSOP) due to having minor asthma as a child which I have long grown out of and have been going on without symptoms and medication for years. I was wondering whether this also applies for aircrew roles in the Fleet Air Arm? Many thanks to...

From what I understand is it is a test which involves you flying a plane in a simulation while asked random questions like 42 - 13? Does it not test your physical ability, such as put you in 0 Gs? If not is there a test that requires you to fly the aircraft upside down or falling?

Good Afternoon all Sorry its a bit of a long one but thank you for the taking the time to read this thread I'm sure this has been an issue for many aircrew hopefuls before me, however I'm just looking for some fresh and sound advice (with the minimum level of bias if possible) from people...

Hello i am 15 and considering becoming a fleet air arm pilot as a potential career. With the joint strike fighter coming into service in 2018, i was wondering whether the time period in which i join matters, or whether it is inconsequential

Hey i'm looking to join the rn as an aircrew officer pilot but am wondering how your are selected to go into either stream and what role you would be assigned if streamed into rotary (e.g. ASW, marine drops)

Basically, I am wondering what specific roles, officers have at certain ranks? Specifically a Pilot at Lt., L/Cdr. and Cdr. (Such as a flight commander possibly. An AEO at the ranks listed above And although it is not FAA so probably the wrong forum, A logistics officer. :) Cheers guys!

50 years in an RAF uniform and 8000 flying hours on 10 plus types of aircraft – Impressive! Sadly, that’s where it ends for me. I normally enjoy people’s life stories but this was a strange one, it left me cold. In truth, this book could have been written containing just 4 of the 5 annexes...
