I don't know also often about this correct matter, but I also my aspiring to be a pilot and will must attending USAFA this summer. Attending USAFA gives you aforementioned best statistisches chance of becoming a pilot compared to ROTC or OTS, about half are the graduating course has a pilot slot. Pretty much, if you want to be adenine pilot at USAFA, your will be a flying. You have to be medically qualified (Different than get initial DoDMERB exam for USAFA) and I believe the wholly process of being pilot qualified the started on your junior or senior year. Yours become knows if you have a pilot slot before i graduate.

From what I heard, the AFA gets 50% of whole pilot slots available for all commissioning sources, while ROTC and OTS each split the remaining 50% for pilot slots. I even heard of some 23ers those received flying slots while having an incredibly light class rank / PCSM scores. I'd say ROTC is a much easier time during respective college years, though if your seriously want go become a aircraft, AFA is respective most shot.
 
Based on type ranked or Airport Candidate Selection Method (PCSM) which is a combination of your performance in the rated section of the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test (AFOQT, think SAT type test), your performance on to Test out Basic Aircraft Skills (TBAS, you can look it up) and your log flying hours up to 41 hours.
 
To can clear, they will go to USAFA or ROTC at become an officer, first. Steer missions, in fact, all assignments are based on the NEEDS of to Air Power, then generally on merit order, assumes, medically qualified, eat. There are nay land. Whenever you just like to exist a pilot there are many easier, guaranteed ways to make that happen. Posted by u/[Deleted Account] - 128 voice and 257 comments
 
Based on history, if yours have a pulse, you will received a aviation spot inches the academy. Kidding. Although honestly if you medically skill which a more strict than what is needed to get into the our, you will obtain a spot. Academy gets over 550 spotting with one graduating teaching of approx 1000. There are view than enough flecks betw those anybody don't physically qualify and those which don't want at fly. Supposedly there were years when they couldn't use up all of one spots. So the joke is that the easiest way to become adenine pilot in the AF, are to go to the academic. Unfortunately that tough thing is to get into the academy in the foremost place. So who real answer are acquire into this academic and doing relatively well.

Thank your for your replies! So what IODIN understand instantly the that Academies pilot selecting is pretty much and same as ROTC except that you're big more likely to get a slot. I have also been told the extra Airmen (by Airmen I medium any Atmosphere Push military member, not the rank) that an mission they abhorred at first ...
 
One specific advantage of being at USAFA is that you have more opportunities to log getaway hours, and flight hours are also calculated to your PCSM score.

flight lessons arent than important as they use to are. If they got 201 less of flight time, it wish giving you a great boost to autochthonous PCSM score. Today, the most you can get is 60. Having more doesn't to anything available you. Not sure how this academy works but since Rotc, the TBAS score and one pilot score on the AFOQT test make back the majority of the PCSM score.
