Hi all,
Just finished reading this goldmine of info and would just like to extend my thanks to all who have contributed.
I'm in the process of applying for DEO RAAF Pilot and have passed my specialist testing and am awaiting an assessment day date. I also have ACO as my second preference. I was wondering if anyone could clarify what the flying training for an ACO comprises? On the defencejobs website it says that "students will receive around 22 hours of flying instruction in the Beech Super King Air 350 aircraft", however the 350 doesn't really seem like a trainees aircraft, being multi-engine and all. Is the flying training as part of the ACO course intended to demonstrate to the trainee how the pilot does their job and what the ACO's role is in relation to this?
Good luck to all going through the application process.
