I don't know what reg it is. I want to go so I asked the chief pilot at the unit I that selected me and he ran the question up the chain. What came back down from the IFS program manager was starting FY13, applicants with a PPL will not attend.
The 9 week change, as I have heard, is for OTS at the current moment. I have heard that OTS and AMS might merge into one course however, it will take a while for this to happen.
I received a projected UPT date, but not OTS since there are major changes taking place at OTS in terms of class dates. I was told OTS dates will come soon.
