Being a part of a flying team would surely turn a dream into reality. What is the process of becoming a team member on the flying team and or Soaring Aerobatic Team? Joined May 16, Messages On average people try out for the Flying Team. It can vary a lot from year to year though. If you're interested in trying out, don't worry about who else is applying, just be the best that you can be.

The medical requirements are satisfied by a class 3 medical certificate the one for a PPL. You have to meet Air Force standards to solo in other programs, but the Flying Team is an exception because we fly under the authority of a PPL. AviatorJane Member. Joined Sep 24, Messages Thanks for making this thread! Definitely highlights something I've known occurs at the academy but didn't know really anything about. What type of things are covered in ground training?

Is it just mission planning and systems knowledge? Are there classes and such or a GT guide on what trainees are responsible for knowing? I'm considering obtaining my PPL as enlisted and applying via lead. Are the skills I've learned and continue to develop as a enlisted aviator applicable to the flying team? We are happy to talk with prospective team members, no matter where you are at now.
