Another RN observer question I'm afraid.
Do observers get any flying training alongside their other more obvious roles of navigation etc? Having read several publications on observer training, I'm still not sure how to interpret phrases like 'secondary roles' and 'aircraft control' --> could an observer conceivably take control of an aircraft in an emergency for example?
Sorry if I'm being daft; 'twould not be the first time. I'm confident I would accept an offer for observer, but I'd like to be able to justify that at the AIB.
Thanks.
