Mind you, like so many newbies he signed up, posted and signed out so has not had the benefit of the sage advice that he (or she) asked for three days ago

Yes, you need to have started Flying Training by 27. For Direct Entry the maximum age is 26. You could apply for Pilot (ISR) RPAS as the max age is 33 to start flying training by 34 - the same as WSO. However, be warned, the Computer Based Aptitude Tests (CBAT) are looking for response times of someone considerably younger, so if you failed the test before you went ground branch (trades are not for officers - are you sure you are a Flt Lt!) then it is highly unlikely that you will have improved over time.

You need to contact your Branch and Trade Advisor, plus your Career Manager, to see if you would be released if successful at OASC. Even then, only the best candidates are taken forward in small batches every 6 months - so passing OASC is no guarantee of a training place. Air Sec Staff Instruction 613 applies.

It did say ‘banned’ a few days back. That was why I didn’t reply.

Perhaps the title, referring to "Fg" gives us a clue. Flt Lt? I think not

I know SP - by (my) post # 15 he was unbanned again,presumably you did not notice my later update post
Seems to be getting quite the norm on many forums these days where people join - ask a question and then just disappear.
