During the initial B’ARWPT, students covered basic handling on a Rotary-Wing and emergency procedures. These sorties then lead up to their first Solo Flight. The Student Pilots will proceed with their advance training on Navigation, Basic Instrument Flight and Formation Flying.
The Student Pilots previously completed a 10 months Basic and Intermediate Fixed Wing Pilot Course in Australia and were selected to continue their B’ARWPT Course at ACA. The Student Pilots will be expected to finish the course in December and continue their training locally at 73 Squadron.
