PHASE 1 course: 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 8-weeks training course where you'll learn to 'talk the talk and walk the walk'. Those passing the PH1 training course will be allowed to start their PH2 training programme to be squadron members.
During the PH1 course you'll learn how to follow the squadron's standard operating procedures (SOPs) to operate safely as part of an effective flight group. You'll be flying the T-45C Goshawk trainer for this. This course is not a replacement for the aircraft manual or tutorials. It's a nice, simple jet and we expect you know how to operate it efficiently at the start of it. We aim to focus your time with our Instructor Pilots and your class to learn and discuss SOPs to develop your skills with a view to becoming a potential Fighter Pilot in VOID Ω.
