  • Instructor pilots from the 340th Flying Training Group, a Reserve unit and the largest flying group in the Air Force, share secrets to undergrad pilot training success: be an officer first, seek support from senior students, be open to feedback, be prepared for each day’s activities, and more.

    thanks for making this video, as an aspiring pilot, I appreciate it when someone tells me that I can be a pilot.

    I completed the Army Rotary Wing Aviator Course in 1982, and instructed from 85-89. This is great advice on so many levels. Listen, learn, leave your ego at the classroom door.

    I'll confess that I cheated on all my check rides (I had a friend fly all my ILS approaches, formation flights, ELPs, etc). It's a wonder I never got caught! I think one of my IPs was suspicious though because I'm white and my friend is black.

    I noticed in the large group picture of what I expect is a group of graduates, that all of the apparent USAF graduates were Caucasian. Can anyone with knowledge tell me how many non-Caucasians as a portion of the initial group typically succeed? Thanks.

      The stats are somewhere on the internet. I can’t remember the numbers but it’s very small. Idk if that’s based off the original sample pool but my recommendation is getting some hours in and studying aviation before going in.

      They quota babies are given up to,50,percent more flying time to get through the program and still can’t. This also applies to foreign nationals like Saudi’s, Kuwaiti’s etc. this does not apply to,the likes of the Belgians, Germans, etc whom regularly graduate at the top of the class. Sometimes this applies to countries like Singapore nationals, etc

      You do realize that everyone attending USAF Undergraduate Pilot Training is already a commissioned officer right? UPT is not an academy, it’s sole purpose is to train current USAF officers (as well as some allied officers) in all aspects of flight culminating in silver wings.This link to the USAFA is more of an apples to apples comparison… czcams.com/video/Y4kPeeAJIF0/video.html
