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.
