43 NSS needed to get into Primary

[OUSOONER]

If you're waiting in C-Pool you will be API complete and know what aircraft you will fly in Primary (unless something drastic happens). There are different survival requirements for the T-34 and the T-6 (ejection seat vs bailout, koch fittings vs unstrapping harness). At that point, you'll know what you're flying and can start studying. I would recommend getting ahold of a Natops and PCL. You can study systems (and everything else) in the Natops and use the PCL for Checklists and EP's. You don't need to sit through systems class to get a basic understanding of what "PCL-IDLE" or "Emergency fuel Shutoff handle-Pull" means. The sooner you can rattle that stuff off, the easier the firehose will be when they front load you with info.

I'm that guy.

I'm that guy.

I think he's referring to the T-6 checklists... yeah you're that guy.

My bad...I'm not used to all that Gucci shit...I fly aluminum and duct tape.

Indeed you are "That Guy". I was talking Gucci T-6, sorry! :icon_smil We may even have a HUD by the time I get to RI's! (But I'm not holding my breath!)

Ya, and the Phrog is getting an ILS.

The Phrog DOES have an ILS.

YOUR Phrog doesn't.

 

[Pepe]

The Phrog DOES have an ILS.

YOUR Phrog doesn't.

They keep telling us that we're getting 'em. We'll see...

You probably don't think that the Phrog has HEFS, either. It does...yours doesn't.

Pepe, the Fleet Phrog is identical to the -164 Phrog, with the addition of ASE. There are non-Fleet Phrogs with some whiz-bang gear, but they are the exception, not the norm.

 

[DocT]

The money is there. It's just a matter of time for the ILS.

Is is broken? Or am I missing some sarcasm?

 

[usmarinemike]

I get the feeling like they might not let some zero flight time marker sniffers use the gucci gear at first. I would be skeptical of the T-6 being a good primary trainer if the Air Force hadnt already shown its effectiveness.


On the original topic, I cease to be amazed at the number of mil aircraft without ILS. Oh wait that's not it....Studying before pri...dang what was this about again.

 

[jollygreen07]

API dosen't matter! pass your exams and get out and who gives a damn!!!

Woooo!!!

I don't think I believe you sir. Mostly because I don't believe there really is a "Fleet." I think it's just flight school after flight school. It's a never ending cycle...

There most definitely is a Fleet.

Wait for it...

We can't use the HUD until later anyway (after we solo I believe, after C4405ish?? I'd have to look at the MPTS again), but the software for the HUD hasn't been brought up to speed in the planes yet.
