QI?

Sorry Gnd, I wasn't attempting to upset you and wasn't expecting a flash. I was picking on the far extremes and putting them together. You must except that there are many old A2s in the training system on all types that have been there for so long that they have lost sight of what they are doing. I was just comparing them. As after all, they are paid the same. Oh and where did Tonka come from??!!??

Thanks [email protected] for your response, as for the Q argument, I have had a quick read up and not only is the title A2pay, but everything is relating to QHI/QFI/QHCI. I may be wrong here but im sure QWI had not been mentioned. I just thought it should be thrown in there somewhere!

As for incentive, certainly in my field, you are going nowhere without a Q of some kind. A vast majority of 1st tour bods will end up on a QFI or QWI course at the end of it. Certainly for pilots, I struggle to find a second/third tourist that hasnt got a "Q" tick.

Im sorry for making a split there but they are 2 different worlds.

Back pedalling so quick your legs are a blur!
So are all A2s dinosaurs then?
Just how hard is the QWI course?
What aircraft do you fly?
So many questions, so little time!

mm fishing now! that wasn't a back pedal, more of a clarification of a poorly put argument! As for the rest, I thought this was meant to be reasonably anon?! Sometimes you feel you need to add detail to add credibility to your argument but then you have to think, if its a good argument, it should stand on it's own. If that makes sense?!
Or were you just curious?!

Piece of pi$$. You merely need to learn one or more of the following phrases:

"Range, track...range, track!"
"Out of range!"
"Ride up, early pickle!"
"Compensating errors!"
"Sight piccie...sight piccie...FFS Sight picture, idiot!

"Whaddya mean, Delta Hotel?"

Beagle,

Top banter! But those once oft-heard phrases are now the preserve only of the Pembrey Range Instructors (capitalised since I heard a rumour that they are no longer putting Hawk instructors through the combined QWI course)! And hopefully once the Hawk T2 is in full service they can stop bothering about aim-off, ride-up etc and just concentrate on CCIP bombing (or is that too easy?)
