Im looking for information regarding the most deployed / active units as a Pilot in the RCAF. Im currently going through training as a pilot and have to formulate my selection preferences. Open to all communities with a lean toward helicopters. Would Special Ops be my best bet for exercises...

Function of needs of the Forces, Ranking and Preferences. Higher ranking increases the chances of getting a preferred platform but no guarantees. When you apply to become a pilot you cannot say you only want to fly x and y and not z. Higher ranking in terms of your course ranking during flight...

So they are technically special forces? What are the implications/ expectations? After a "standard" helo tour they go on the OTU Special Ops Helo course? Would they be categorized as Close Support Personnel or fall under the Assaulter umbrella?

Looking to get pointed in the right direction regarding how one goes about becoming a special operations  pilot after wings? Is it something that is requested by the member before wings or are you actively recruited by Special Operations? Do those potential pilots go through the same course/...

What are the wait times looking like for Phase 2 these days?

Thanks for clearly up the general differences between the 2. Good luck to everyone currently waiting for offers and congratulations to those you have received their offers. I can attest to the difficult times and uncertainty of waiting on the outside.

Is this because of time living/ traveling abroad? I heard such applicants with time outside the country have significant processing times at this stage.

During ACS we were briefed during a break that CPLs no longer get a by-pass in phase 1. I believe it came down to a case by case situation or they scrapped the by-pass altogether. In any case, I believe it would be beneficial to get a taste of the military way of flight instruction even if all...

Add another one to September 10 BMOQ! Mini Vacation then BMOQ!

Really? Ive been on the competition list for PLT/ACSO/AEC for a year plus. I sure do not see my email box lighting up with offers.

Hi Buck. Is it possible to shed some light on the breakdown/importance of each component with regards to your overall score. For example, 60% based on Cfat, 20 % TSD, etc. How important is the ACS  and score received with regards to overall competitiveness, specifically for DEO aircrew trade...

How did you get official word on this? They only take measurements of pilot applicants after they passed ACS for pilot.
