Guest Graham Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Hey everybody! I hope to someday become a C-17 pilot for the USAF. It's a long ways away but hopefully I can go from USAF ROTC at a flight college, then to SUPT fly the T-6 and T-1, then hopefully the C-17. I'm not even close yet but I am already planning and studying civilian flight textbooks. (FAA Airplane Flying Handbook, Private Pilot Training Textbooks... Etc...) Here are just a few questions for C-17 pilots or any other people that know about the plane: 1. For training, I'm guessing lots of it is in the simulator, but how many flights do you get in the actual plane? 2. How many hours of countable flight time (Sim, or real) do you get at training? 3. How much time off do you get during training? Or how much study material is there? 4. How does the training work? Is there like 2 students flying, 1 student and an instructor? Whats the setup? 5. What do you practice during training, or what do you practice most? 6. How do they train you on such a complex aircraft? Were do they even start!? 7. Any other good info you think would help. Thanks so much anything helps. -Graham B.
