Welcome Edwin. I am surprised that such a incident occured during NDP bogursif. Well i believe that the requirements of a Commercial Pilot is not as tough as that of a Military Pilot. However with that said, Pilots still have to be competent and be able to multi-task efficiently. Pyschometric skills are similar for both vocations. I guess the difference between both Pilots have to be reflexes and ability to cope with different variations of Pressure.
Anyone with insights to this matter might want to shed some light to enlighten both wannabe cadet pilots who did not make it to the Air Force or either way.
Cheers
