No, FBW doesn’t kick the rudders aggressively like that. The airplane handles pretty conventionally on one engine, and departs in a somewhat similar fashion to airplanes with a traditional Vmc “red line”.
Looks good, have any COPT-R kids hit the fleet yet?
From what I can tell, the first grads are now in Helo Advanced HTs...
When I checked into advance in late spring of 24, the first COPTR grads were checking in as well. So they are likely just finishing up. They only went into HT28 at the time.
At least one's been winged already, late last year. They've come and spoken to us A-poolers a couple of times since then.
Doesn't matter who you are. Everyone's the same once you're an SNA.
Yeah, for SNAs. For SNFOs you get put in the front of the line if you're a certified badass!
Wait timeline is the same. Depending on your skillset, you’ll likely skip some flights here and there once you’re in the syllabus.
Does it matter what your commissioning source is? and what is A-pool? My friend got to Pensacola in November and started NIFE last month. He was NROTC.
It goes by commissioning date. Academy and ROTC class up "fast" after checking in to NASC because they're sent down in batches throughout the year and likely comissioned months beforehand. So "fast" is relative, cause sure they may class up 2 months after checking in, but they could also have been waiting like 7 months from the time of their commissioning to classing up.
