Yeti_72 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Is there still a T-1 sim only (no t-6 phase) UPT syllabus? if there is, is it only for high civilian time pilots? Been to a lot of air force training programs, a short UPT would be nice I will be going reserve heavies if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ryleypav Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 They just brought it back at Laughlin, but its the Civilian Path to Wings (XPW) program. So its for high time airline types. Whats your flying background? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 CaptainMorgan Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 They just brought it back at Laughlin, but its the Civilian Path to Wings (XPW) program. So its for high time airline types. Whats your flying background?Air Force Fundamentals (AFF) is the sim-only T-1 program for high time, ATP holding students. XPW is a T-1 only program (think legacy syllabus with a couple extra blocks of training to compensate for no T-6s) intended for Commercial, Multi-Engine, Instrument types, but the only required pre-req is flight screening.

0 Yeti_72 Posted May 2 Author Share Posted May 2 Gotcha, not high time just 100 civilian hours. thanks to you both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 CaptainMorgan Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Gotcha, not high time just 100 civilian hours. thanks to you both. Just to clarify, XPW is not sim only. You bypass the T-6, and as a result cannot be FAIPed, so it’s a great deal if you’re wanting heavies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 CaptainMorgan Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 XPW still a thing? What's the process to get that?Get to a UPT base before the last class starts and volunteer. T-1 is projected to be done at Laughlin in 2024, and Vance and Columbus in 2025. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Yeti_72 Posted Monday at 07:33 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 07:33 PM Are any of the sims FAA certified at UPT? wondering if any of those hours count. From what i found searching the google, for actual jet time you will get 96 hours in the T-6 and 42.8 hours in the T-1 with UPT 2.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what i found searching the google, for actual jet time you will get 96 hours in the T-6 and 42.8 hours in the T-1 with UPT 2.5Don’t know if there are any certified sims in the AF, but honestly, it doesn’t matter. You’ll have the 750 for an R-ATP, and 1500 for an unrestricted in no time. Once you’ve cleared that hurdle, time in an aircraft is the only thing that matters for the airlines. When I did my ATP/type, my partner thought that sim time would help him regain recency for the purposes of getting hired (spoiler: it didn’t).

Question
Yeti_72
Is there still a T-1 sim only (no t-6 phase) UPT syllabus? if there is, is it only for high civilian time pilots?
Been to a lot of air force training programs, a short UPT would be nice
I will be going reserve heavies if that helps.
