PHASE 1 training: self-assessment and application form

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

PHASE 1 is our training programme where you'll learn to 'talk the talk and walk the walk'. Those passing PH1 will be allowed to start their PH2 course to be VOID Ω squadron members.
For PH1 you'll be buddied-up with an Instructor Pilot to progress your self-managed learning until you're ready for a check-ride. Meanwhile, you'll join bigger training flights on squadron's Saturday nights. This way you'll learn how to follow our standard operating procedures (SOPs) to operate safely as part of an effective flight group becoming a good prospect Fighter Pilot in VOID Ω.
You'll be flying the T-45C Goshawk trainer for this. It's a nice, simple jet and we expect you know how to operate it efficiently at the start of it. Training time with the sq. is not a replacement for aircraft manuals or tutorials.
