Do not believe what they tell you at defence recruiting. THE MORE EXPERIENCE YOU HAVE FLYING, THE BETTER YOU WILL BE POSITIONED TO PASS THE FLYING ELEMENT. It is fast paced and difficult and they want to see an improvement in your flying, however, they are also assessing your ability. So if your already comfortable behind the controls and can fly level and at constant speeds then your off to a good start.
EVERY FLIGHT IS AN ASSESSMENT
Dont treat any flight at trivial, they all count. Try to look like you enjoying the flight even though you'll be nervous as shit and possibly not having a good time ! These military instrutors really know how to take the fun out of flying, thats for sure...
IF YOU WANT TO GET RECOMMENDED, PASS THE FLYING. To give yourself the best chance of doing this then....GET YOUR HANDS ON THE FSP MASS BRIEF MANUAL FROM AN ADF MEMBER. If you can't then read my notes which i will attach to the end of this blog. My notes are for the Basic Course and will have some extra tips that wont be in the mass brief manual BUt if you can get the manual also then DO IT !!!
As i have already said this is very challenging so i cant recommend enough the follwing course for preparation:
- Get a copy of the ADF SATG notes from someone that has access to the ADF intranet. why should only in-service people have the advantage ?
- Read my notes below
- After steps 1 and/or 2...BOOK YOURSELF SOME FLIGHT TIME AND PRACTISE THE EXACT MANOUVERS AND PROCEDURES IN THE MANUAL AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
- This will make you comfortable in th air and perform better. The less you have to learn while your flying the better
Instructor: I am going to demonstrate a steep turn, follow mw through on the controls.......ok now you do a steep turn and i will talk you through it.....ok now you do a steep turn for assessment.
its really like that, no time to think or get comfortable with a manouver. Thats why i say to practise these over and over before you get there...
This is what you will do:
