Aircraft Operations

First, speak to unit operations staff about suitability and requirements. This will prevent wasted time or money.

Prerequisites to flight training:

• Be a CAF national and unit member in good standing (join or renew)
• Pass the CAFR 60-1 training and quiz
• Enter the drug and alcohol program
• Request a hearing with the unit Flight Evaluation Board to obtain a transition letter to begin training
• Sponsor the aircraft – contact the finance officer
  • This is a one-time (lifetime) aircraft-specific donation to CAF HQ
  • Sponsorship amounts are listed in the unit manual at the end of section 6 (AT-19: $1500, as of March 2023)
• Pay the calendar year’s pilot fee (2023: $300)
