I’m wondering how a uniformed member of staff; SNCO (ATC) or RAFVR(T) Officer, could train/fly for a local AEF or VGS.
What hoops does one have to jump through? I can’t see any process outlining this on BADER.
take a look around the VGS websites
i found this which may be of some use
To fly at an AEF you need to have the following:
Be a current or ex military pilot
Hold a frozen/ unfrozen ATPL with at least 1500hrs
Hold a class 1 medical or military medical.
Ideally you should have a military background but there are a handful of none ex military AEF pilots but they have been A2 gliding instructors.
Aefs don’t offer a full training program as such as you should already be able to fly. New pilots get a 5hr Tutor convex.
