# Chapter 3 - Training

### 3.1 Scope

MODv will provide training for members to ensure they have the required skills and knowledge to operate effectively as a VSOA member. We put a big emphasis on self study and expect trainees to ask questions and read around the subject where required.

### 3.2 Training Structure

We have identified that not everyone has access to the traditional aircraft that MOD using for training, as such we have adopted the following training structure;

Each pilot will select an aircraft to train on and will follow the training guides for the fleet in which the chosen aircraft is a part of.

Each training guide covers basic handling, advanced navigation and operational procedures. Once the student has completed all exercises in the training guide with the instructor they will undergo a competency test before being signed off. Once signed off they may fly an aircraft within that fleet, except for the fast jet fleet.

Should a student want to fly another aircraft in a separate fleet, they must undergo a differences training with an instructor.
