Hello!

I am happy to announce that the 132nd Virtual Wing will be opening for class 5 in the 494th flying the F/A-18C Hornet. For this new class we will only accept 2 new trainees. The class is so small because of the very limited IP availebility, and we are not able to get more pilots through the training.

 

Mandatory training flights

High level of the mandatory flights with an IP during IQT and MQT:

Flight 1: Basic flight with an IP: showing capability for precision flying and doing AAR.

Flight 2: 132nd Comms and ATC and airbase operations. Getting proficient handling comms with GND, TWR , Approach and AWACS.

Flight 3: Tactical formations and turns

Flight 4: 1vs1 WVR Basics

Flight 5: 2vs2 BVR Basics

Flight 6: SAT 1 Basics (Surface Attack Tactics)

Flight 7: MQT checkout. Combining what you have learned in a simulated combat mission to show proficiency as a wingman on 132nd events.

 

After IQT and MQT then pilots will move on to various topics in Continuation Training to gain additional proficiency. During all phases there is a heavy emphasis on self-qualification lessons, so new pilots will need to be able, diciplined and motivated to conduct training on their own to make sure to progress in accordance with the training program.

 

 

Criterias for selecting trainees

Because of it beeing such a small class of trainees, we are very selective on who we will choose to start up training. We have three criterias that is of outmost importance, which all will be taken into consideration when selecting

 

1. Activity. What are your activity levels, and are you planning to stay active

2. IP potential (Instructor Pilot). We are in high demand of IP's, and thus pilots that are skilled, and is interested in taking on the extra burden of teaching others will be prioritized-

3. Contributions to the squadron/wing. Running a wing and a squadron require a lot of work behind the scenes. Either through making missions, making briefs, maintaining a website, creating movies, creating documentation etc. Pilots that are interested in helping will be prioritized.

 

 

Questions for applicants

We have decided on the following questions, which I want applicants to be honest and give their best assessment of the following questions. This so we can select the best candidates to start training.

 

1. What is your current skill level in the F/A-18C?

2. What is your availebility to conduct trainings on Wednesdays and Sundays the next month (1800Z-2000Z?

3. What is your availebility to conduct trainings on other days than Wednesdays and Sundays to get a more rapid pace through the training program (Pending IP availebility)

4. How do you fit in in accordance with the 3 criterias of activity, IP potential and contributions to the wing/squadron?

5. Why should we pick you as one of next pilots in the class of 494th?

6. When are you availeble to start training?

7. Why do you want to join the 494th

8. What do you think about flying 6 training flights per each combat mission?
