nsplayr Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) If I've gotten snubbed because I used an incorrect acronym I apologize, we've been in the habit of using the term NSA for assignments into the PC-12, Dornier and I think there are one or two more aircraft flying out of Cannon. Would still appreciate any info on these assignments. Thanks NBD man...you're right, I've always heard it called NSA or NSAv i.e. Non-Standard Aviation associated with the aircraft you described. Don't have any info personally but I do know a couple dudes who were previously at Cannon and are now at HRT, PM me if you don't hear from anyone here and I'll ask them in person and get some gouge for ya.

HU&W Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 If I've gotten snubbed because I used an incorrect acronym I apologize, we've been in the habit of using the term NSA for assignments into the PC-12, Dornier and I think there are one or two more aircraft flying out of Cannon. Would still appreciate any info on these assignments. Thanks Just a little bit of ribbing. I just liked how you phrased "flying for NSA". UPT bases commonly mis-call it NSA. The correct term is NSAv to save any confusion with the actual NSA. PM me your .mil and I can get you the info you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Can someone clarify the difference between the PC-12 at Cannon and the U-28 at HRT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintail21 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Theres a world of difference but honestly it doesn't matter because the PC-12's will be converted to U-28's really soon. PC-12's are mobility assets while U-28's work on the ISR side of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I know this a little bit on the sensitive side as far as all this info, but what's the difference between the U-28 and MC-12 then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeHoler Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Different letters and numbers, man.I know this a little bit on the sensitive side as far as all this info, but what's the difference between the U-28 and MC-12 then? One is made by Pilatus. The other isn't. One has one engine. The other has two. One can barrel roll. The other can't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngpj Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Different letters and numbers, man. An idiot filmed from the inside of one during a barrel roll. The other one hasnt had an idiot film from the inside during a barrel roll yet. Fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsplayr Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I know this a little bit on the sensitive side as far as all this info, but what's the difference between the U-28 and MC-12 then? Well they have the "2" in common... U-28s = AFSOC, working for SOF customers exclusively MC-12s = ACC, working for both conventional and SOF customers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having worked extensively with both, the difference is night and day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripilot Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 This thread seems to suggest all U-28s are at Hurlburt, but I've heard just from word of mouth that either that is no longer true, or shortly will not be true. Can anyone clarify this situation for me? Specifically, I'm wondering where the studs dropping U-28s out of UPT are ending up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to know if (more like when) Cannon will be an option for U-28s you need to go up the food chain way higher than baseops.net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most recent info I heard from a well placed source is the CVS PC-12's are going to be converted to U-28's, and the current PC-12 guys will be augmented by one of the U-28 squadrons at HRT. The timeline might be as soon as next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent P Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Do you first get a type rating in the PC-12 or do you do all the training in house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KState_Poke22 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Do you first get a type rating in the PC-12 or do you do all the training in house? As far as I know they send you to a civilian school to get the type rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent P Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Thanks - do you know how long the initial qual takes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitman Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Do you first get a type rating in the PC-12 or do you do all the training in house? ATP (if you have the pre reqs) and type if you go C-146's (Dornier 328). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsplayr Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Not true. You just won't hear it first here. Well yea, you'll hear it here eventually, but if he wants to know now the answers are probably not gonna be found here. Thanks - do you know how long the initial qual takes? Not sure if they're taking any new folks for slick PC-12s (i.e. part of NSAV out at Cannon) anymore. What's leading you to ask, you headed there, want to head there, etc.?

alohacessna Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 PC-12/U-28's don't require a type rating since the aircraft are turbo-props with a gross weight of less than 12,500 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitman Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Thanks for all the info - I am really just info gathering, but am interested in the U-28 program Agent, are you in UPT? Send me a message if you have any questions and I'll see if I can point you in the right direction. Not sure what your story is, but probably best not to just roll in on an ops squadron, especially one with flying SEALS! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
