    C-130 IP School

    Anyone been through this recently? Stories, advice?

    Show up prepared and ready to work. The ARANG has recently "upped the ante", and about 60% of the students going through are having problems at one point or another in the program. 3 IP candidates sent home this year for lack of basic knowledge/flying proficiency.

    you're baiting. gotta be baiting. must . . . not . . . respond . . .

    Not at all...I give instrument evals to about 25% of each MPD class, and the students who didn't go through Corpus are better instrument pilots hands down. Could be attributed to the lack of familiarity with the 11-217 and 202V3, or maybe the long BIT between Corpus and the FTU for non-LRF assigned studs. But even the Corpus grads going to the 50th/61st have more problems with basic instrument flying...

    Dude, go track T44s, thats the way to go to get Hercs. You will love the training, no stand-ups, laid back training, etc, i think you'll be a better instrument pilot too! you are rolling the dice out of T-1s plus you're flirting with the ol UAV option, you go to corpus, and you're set and they have spec ops drop almost every class! Plus, the dudes that have the toughest time at the Herc FTU here are all the T-1 C-21 dudes who don't know anything about props. Well actually I guess everyone knows about them with the T-6, I guess I should say multienegine Props. If you get stuck in T1s, then you better start praying and be #1 and know somebody!!!

    Did I mention you get to live on the beach!!! OH YEah and NO UAVS!!!

    Shit you already tracked, oh well you're, F%^ked

    Better instrument pilot, too??? You're kidding, right? :nob: Corpus grads are historically weak in instrument procedures...why do you think AMC spent millions developing an instrument approach trainer for the FTU?

    This quote should piss off every single operator on this board. I've been flying for almost 5 years and I have never, ever seen this "culture of complacency". If there is a culture of complacency, it exists among the REMF, who I have to back up everytime they mess up a travel voucher, "forget" to submit paperwork so I can get my orders, or come up with some other bullshit ancillary training program I have to take. Which leads me to the real "culture" that the Air Force is exhibiting...

    A caveat here, I was a FAIP and I just entered ACC. Nonetheless, I have never in my life seen more overworked professionals in my life. Even in AETC, I have almost 70 days of leave built up and I am one of the ones the with least amount. 12 hour days are the norm. Why is this? It's because we have to deal with all the other extraneous bullshit that takes away from our main duty, which is to "Fly, Fight, and Win". So, if anything, the people in the Air Force who put their pink fleshies out on the line everyday (the operators, not the 9-5 REMFs) suffer from anything but a "culture of complacency"...it's more of a "culture of being worn out flying worn out equipment".

    So ###### you for saying that my buddies and I are enthralled in your "culture of complacency". All the problems will be fixed when we get our priorities straight...
