walkerman180 Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 So I just found out I branched Aviation out of ROTC! Any other new Aviation Officers out there? Flight Vets: any advice/comments/do-this/don't-do-that type advice for us newbies? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RagMan Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 In all reality, he's right about getting appointed as a Warrant. If you want to fly, go Warrant; Hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkerman180 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I'm a 67J here at Rucker now. What can I answer for you? You already have answered so much by responding as such sir. Had to look up your MOS, and thus realized I need to do a lot of research! Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bootcamp Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Here's a question. What can I be studying now to get ahead of the game? TH-67 limitations and emergency procedures. Also the Rotorcraft Flying Handbook. If you PM me your info, I have a few study card decks I can send you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tradewinds Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Depending on when they report, will some that have branched Aviation this year start training on the Lakota. Will the study guides be the same as far as the 5&9's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamer Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 No they are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tradewinds Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 No they are different. When do they foresee switching over from the TH-67 to the Lakota? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantankerously Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 When do they foresee switching over from the TH-67 to the Lakota?next year sometime I believe. My IP in primary was getting ready to go to the Lakota course. Too bad...the -67 is fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerman180 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 So I just looked up the Lakota and I'm pretty impressed. Does anyone know if they are planning on having all future aviators train on this or will some still train on the -67? Also is the Lakota going to be an airframe available for AD pilots?

StockTrader Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 So I just looked up the Lakota and I'm pretty impressed. Does anyone know if they are planning on having all future aviators train on this or will some still train on the -67? Also is the Lakota going to be an airframe available for AD pilots?Yes they are planning to divest the TH-67. The lakota already is an active airframe but only for stateside missions. Some guard units have it already also, like the PAARNG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tradewinds Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Also is the Lakota going to be an airframe available for AD pilots? As JeffinPA said, the Lakota is already used in AD but limited use CONUS. The Lakota is not one of the Airframes that are available for selection in Flight School.

Yamer Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 At the soonest it'll be next fiscal year I think. The IPs here are still rotating into learning it so it's gonna take some time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
