Howdy.....an IP, as the US calls them, falls under the RAAF OFI equivilent. ie: an instructor who is a specialist instructor on a specific aircraft type.....ala Hornet instructor from Canada or US navy.

CFS technically performs annual checks on these guys however they can nominate one of the guys up there (......QFI given magic powers :} ) if they can't make it. It's pretty dumb sending a transport guy up there for a few 1v1 6K sets as it makes for a very unrealistic student!

......Honkers is OK, but not on my fav top 10 list of places to live :bored:

They suck for the 1st two years and so does the pay. I could think of better options these days.

So we are going to see you back here then? Morale is pretty high in the wing at the moment. You would love it!

Actually the funny thing is we haven't seemed to have had any Charlie input on this thread.

I bet its because they are all paranoid using about sites like this.

It's not an Airline or RPT carrier is it?
I've come across the saying if we didn't have armament, the RAAF would be he largest unscheduled airline.

The RAAF in the past has also been referred as a large aeroclub, for that matter :}
