Tay they get up to exercise 14. No NAV unless they want to pay for it themselves which a very occasional one does.

They can solo buts that's about it.

Also remember that the instructors write a report to the RAF about your conduct and ability's. This has in the past caused some people issues if there conduct hasn't been the best when they have come to try and join the UAS or the RAF as an officer. So don't turn up stinking of beer, don't get caught shagging. Do turn up with brushed shoes, clean flight suit minus the mornings breakfast lefts overs. Try and curb previous knowledge, listen ask questions and fly to the best of your ability's.

You will have to pass an airlaw exam before you go solo, it would be beneficial to get Thom Airlaw or J Pratt Airlaw and study it before you turn up. Most library's have a copy in it if you don't want to buy it. A copy of book one of either of those series will also give you the long briefs to read up on before arriving. But the briefings are CFS standardised so may be slightly different. The method in the books for flying the approach is not the one you will be taught so don't read it. You may also find the aircraft general useful although there is no requirement for you to have this knowledge.

Also occasionally an instructor shows up from CFS. He will note smart attire and officer like attributes.

If you want to continue to train afterwards have a look at Airleague bursary's and also GAPAN bursary's all of which can be also done in Dundee.
