Unhappy EPNER

I have just been selected for TP (Rotary) and am off to EPNER next June. If anyone has any pearls of wisdom or useful info I'd be most grateful if you'd email me!

Many congratulations, and best of British.

Advice...

-Find somebody who has already done the course, and borrow their reports.

- Always finish working by midnight, always have half a day off each weekend (this is not a joke, I thought it was when this advice was given to me)

- If you haven't done ISS and have time, do so.

- Be very very current on your PC, wordprocessor, spreadsheet etc.

- Brush up the maths.

Try Andy Tailby, Rotary Wing Department at DERA Boscombe Down. He's now a civilian trials officer, but did EPNER whilst a RAF helicopter pilot in the '80s. He may in turn know somebody who has done the course more recently.

Speak lots of French before you start the course.

And Good Luck. Whenever the workload is heavy, remember that at the end you'll be doing the best job in military flying!

Thanks for your help guys. If there is any more especially on EPNER itself I'd be grateful

Try [email protected], he is ex RAF TP(rotary) and did the course there. I'm sure he won't mind me giving his address.

Good luck.

Try Cameron Ross. Ex army (Australian) and then ARDU for a few years after that. I think he finished the course early 90's. [email protected]
