Hi, erm what kind of army lifestyle and working environment ??
Sorry i am not a pilot, can't be of help. But one thing is for sure, there will not be fixed working hours and days just like any SAF regular. -
have to go overseas regularly...
-
Why is the hour irregular? erm it is obvious i never go army b4...
so even weekend is not spared?
even after 5pm, may need to go back to base?
Oversea to which country? -
Why there is irregular timing is simply due to on standby. The enemy won't tell you when they are coming you know.Originally posted by Isis:Why is the hour irregular? erm it is obvious i never go army b4...

Oversea to which country?
Oversea training include USA,France and Australia. There are frequent exercises with other air forces too such as the recent one with Indian Air Force. -

is it true that death of trainee isn't reported in news?
Any person know what is the death rate like for pilot?
im not so sure whether i can even pass through the initial round, just asking for career choices. -
The only recent death of a pilot in the RSAF was in May 2004, during that F16 accident. Prior to that, the RSAF had quite a commendable safety record.Originally posted by Isis:is it true that death of trainee isn't reported in news?

The accident was published in the news. I don't think at this current time, any incident especially if there is death will ever be covered up, because the media would probrably get their hands on it in no time. Its prob wiser for them not to withhold too much details. -
Bro, Isis is a lady who wish to sign on as a pilot so she does get to choose which vocation she wants. However, whether RSAF wants to accept her or not is another matter.Originally posted by saltedveggie:can get to choose merh? you talk until like you can get to choose your vocation sia. -

Haha! Well you can sign up for civilian pilot, then you can plan your overseas shopping spree or holiday! As civilian pilot you get to fly to cities and towns while as an air force pilot you mainly visit uninhabited training grounds such as the deserts in USA. So whats your choice?

Nobody died what. I think that was the question asked. Of course throughout the history of RSAF there will be people losing their lives unfortunately, likewise goes for all the armed services around the world.Originally posted by zaxis:What about "That S211 drop down @ Johor" what happen to that incident?

Hi, pilots don't have the kind of lifestyle as portrayed by Top Gun. Lots of paperwork and plenty of flying. Flying is irregular hours. Can be very early or very late. No such thing as what the recruiters say as sitting there lim kopi and just fly. And junior pilots frequently kanna ADFAF (I think that's how it is spelled), in other words, standby duty. Lots of overseas trip to fly, not to have fun and target flying hours must be accomplished at all costs. Hope this helps.

they got flying programs de..

Our SAF pilots are sunshine boi. Only fly when there is clear sky

Do you think its so easy to get in the First Place ? Selections Plus all the Wash outs ? You sound As if this is the The USAF or The USN Or the USMC Pilots...
Their Country over there is Bigger...They need more pilots...Esp with the situation at Iraq and other parts of the world...Their Country and Ours Are totally Different.... Qualification Level...What is your qualification ?
I don't really know this well...But from what i heard from my friends already in the Army...To get to OCS... req A level Cert or a poly Diploma ?
To get to pilot...I doubt will be a walk in a park... -
Since pilots are all abiding by standby mode, does RSAF pilot actually has a life?
Btw anyone know what is the training like for RSAF pilot trainee?
For what i know
BMT..
SYFC training
has to learn how to jump out of a plane with a parachute?
MM i have underwent some SYFC training before... i personally encountered some difficulties catching what the tower is talking on the microphone.. with all the buzzes and fast and blurily tone and codes... will affect my chances in passin the tests?
