Hello,
I was hoping any CG C130 pilots could share their flight school progression. This is what my digging has produced so far:
IFS (If do not hold PPL)
API
Primary
Advanced Props (read they eliminated "intermediate")
Basic C130 school (in Little Rock, AR or a base in Georgia)
Coast Guard C130 training in Clearwater, FL
*Some places give approximate times in weeks to complete but it seems they vary tremendously due to wait times, weather, holidays, etc
1. Is this correct?
2. If so, could you share approx. lengths of time at each stage and locations where they took place?
3. Do all CG C130 pilots do their first ~4 year tour at Clearwater or do they send some to the other CGASs that operate C130s?
Thank you for your time,
Brad Foley
