What U.S. Army Flight School is Like

[@puravida5683]

I was commissioned a Warrant Officer in 1971, you are commissioned before you graduate from flight school. Flight school was a picnic, before my tour in Vietnam! You develop better skills, reactions and confidence, once you are being shot at.

[@dr.timmccullough5084]

Graduated Army flight school in 1977. Warrant officer school and flight school were combined. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. I remember thinking I must have died and gone to an insane asylum. We started with 33 guys and 8 of us graduated. Today I am a physician and becoming a doctor was a walk in the park compared to Army flight school. The experience changed me and I knew if did that I could do anything. Today my most valued possession are my original wings I have kept since 1977. They only cost a dollar then but they are priceless to me. How we did OCS and 200 plus flight hours together in 10 months still is amazing. I am proud to say that I was an Army Aviator.

[@xe042]

well that first part wasnt very motivating for me 😂

[@johnraeburn3675]

I worked as an I.P. At Ft.Rucker for 28 yrs. and found this video to be very informative. I worked in PRIMARY (Common core) which was quite a hard course to teach because the students were trying to kill you on a daily basis! The students were basically “fresh of the bus” but after ten weeks of “near death experiences” they were excellent pilots. INSTRUMENTS was a lot easier for the students and I.Ps because the student already knew how to fly now they had to learn to navigate. Learning to fly a helicopter is like juggling 10 balls in the air, tap dancing and singing the National Anthem and all in the dark while naked in a snow storm! John Raeburn

[@damion_bailey]

Wow! And thank you!

[@dabneyoffermein595]

holy crap. Helicopters obviously are for the very smart and well read students with a comprehension level off the charts, and a good test-taker skills won't hurt, and memorization has to be spot-on. Forgetting something with short-term memory loss could be devastating. High IQ individuals is a must. I have so much respect for this student and his abilities, WOW, just WOW!

[@GeorgeSemel]

Well, they sure pour a lot of information into your head in a very very short period of time. I spent 45 years flying both airplanes and helicopters for a living. The hardest part of learning to fly for me was how to read the question the FAA would ask on the written exams. It took a while. Back then before the freedom of information act, they didn't publish the Exam questions. We use to get Exam Test Guilds from a Company called Acme School of Aeronautics Fort Worth Meacham Field Fort Worth, Tx. It was a school run by retired USAF Colonels and one of them handed a photographic memory he would go every so often take an FAA exam flunk it with a score of 69 then write the questions from memory and make a study guide. Like you, I found the Instrument flying part to be the most enjoyable. I started in airplanes and ended up in helicopters then back to airplanes.

[@damion_bailey]

Wow! It’s tough now, but it sounds like it was even more difficult in the past!

[@GeorgeSemel]

@@damion_bailey Yeah, you really had to really study and study a lot back then 70% was passing and a 78% was considered a good grade, if you got an 80 % it was rare and any thing over 85 the Feds suspect you of cheating. No calculators can be brought into the testing room and the GADO, now FSDO. They gave you two pencils and to sheets of paper to do the math problems and they would collect those after the test.. I forgot to say well done youngman on getting thru Army Rotorwing Flight School that is no small thing.

[@CHICOB4261]

OMG! I remember going through army CID school at Ft. McClellan as a U.S. Marine in 1989. We memorized a one inch thick manual among the many other things we did. When I say “memorized “ I mean every single word! I don’t know now how this is possible because now I can’t remember why I went downstairs or into the next room! 😂 Thank you for your story and thank you for your service. When I learned to fly at the age of 17 my uncle who was a fighter pilot during WW II gave me perhaps one of the most important pieces of advice I have ever received. He said “remember this two rules in flying One: You never have to take take off! Two: you always have to land!” Keep the sun at your back brother.

[@realpropertymangement7640]

[@jimmydulin928]

Thanks for the video, Damion. I don't remember the intensity in ORWAC 70-24, but we were all going to Vietnam so were invested. I loved the TH-55 at Ft. Wolters, but I had flow Cubs before ROTC. I was the first ROTC cadet to get a CPL with the 36 hours allowed for the ROTC flight program. We had some civilian instructors at Wolters, as some here mention. Mine had been a crop duster. I tried to wack the little stinger off by trying to three point full stall the Matel Messerschmitt in autorotation to the ground a couple of times. Ronnie Westmoreland, on the third, waited until I flaired and then yelled, "wheel landing, dammit." I had no problem after that. We had two black officers in 70-24. One, Herb Skinner, showed up at 93 rd Evacuation Hospital, where I was after being shot down in a Cobra. He was just in country and wanted advice on where to go. I told him First of the Ninth Air Cav was the place to be. He ended up in Echo Troop and was shot down in Loaches five times the first week. Our patch said, "The boldest cavalrymen the world has ever known." Thanks again, Damion.

Light Blue Class 86-12. Every now and then all the stars align, and you get a series of top notch instructors. I watched many struggle and some get recycled but I was fortunate in that it all came very easy to me. I miss the days of having almost no responsibilities except hitting the class room followed by converting gas to noise. Back in those days, civilian airfields would give you freebies if you refueled. One field had bikini clad golf cart gals pick you up to go to flight ops. Friday nights at the O club with about a 4 to one guy to girl ratio as the locals were always on the hunt. Out of a class of 120, so many have crossed to Valhalla.

But seriously, instrument flying was way too precise for me. I could not wait to get on to tactics phase where you just fly around and have fun, except learning to navigate on 1/100,000 paper maps at 90 knots, oh that was really hard at first.

@@dabneyoffermein595 Our washout rate was substantial during preflight and primary training at Ft Wolters. When we got to Rucker, I don’t recall anyone washing out. We flew 5 days a week. At Wolters, we might have had 2 weekend passes, but most weekends were spent on post. At Rucker, we spent most weekends at Panama City. Everyone knew that our next stop was Vietnam, so we sowed a few wild oats. Training at Rucker was serious business, as we all knew that we had better be ready for combat flying right after flight school. We graduated with just over 200 hours of flight time, with about 50 hours in Hueys as I recall, and most of us went directly to flying them in combat.

It honestly hasn’t been crazy difficult, just time consuming, the material isn’t hard to learn it’s the shear amount of it that is hard to digest.

Reclass into the needs of the Army

[@juliancohen220]

Do you know of any study guides for common core or any literature(Quizlet, etc.) I can read before going to flight school? Or tips for memorization. I work with formulas and numbers so memorizing words and facts isn't my strong suit. Regarding getting a paragraph wrong, have you seen people get kicked out for not being good at memorizing the information? Or what happens if someone messes up in class?
