Female pilots??
-
Hi everyone, I have a few questions regarding the procedures if I were to apply to be a RSAF female pilot. Hopefully any RSAF pilots in this forum can give me some info regarding this!! Thks!
Currently I am waiting for my sem to start in NUS, so is it possible for me to apply to RSAF now? If so, what are the procedures I have to go through first? Is the selection and examination same as the male pilot selection?
Looking forward to hear from anyone! Thks in advance! ^_^ -

Disclaimer: I'm not an RSAF pilot, but I happen to know quite a few (guys). I don't personally know any lady ones.
But there ARE lady combat pilots in RSAF. Right now I've come across A-4 and F-16 ones. Although they're just junior pilots. Not seen any F-5 ones though. They all have the 'cute' factor though. Heh. Maybe it comes with the flight suit.
Let the RSAF know your interest as soon as possible. If you can, join in the Youth Flying Club to see if this is what you really want to do.Originally posted by lhx_kaze:Hi everyone, I have a few questions regarding the procedures if I were to apply to be a RSAF female pilot.

if u join the youth flying club n got ur private license, u've got an advantage over others. u dun need to go to Tamworth for airgrading (most pple fail during airgrading).Originally posted by RussianPower:Disclaimer: I'm not an RSAF pilot, but I happen to know quite a few (guys).

otherwise... it's more or less the same route as guys...
for guys...
1) go for the computerised test
2) go for medical checkup (this 1 damn strict)
3) go for the interview (convince the pple who interview y u can be a pilot)
4) go to bmt
5) pia for OCS on ur own merit
6) airgrading course in Tamworth, Australia - 2 mths
7) officer cadet training - tri-service term - 1mth
air force service term - 2 mths
9) basic flying phase at flying training sch in Pearce, Australia - 11 mths (this stage is where u make ur intentions known to ur in-charge whether u wanna be fighter pilot, transport pilot or helicopter pilot)
10) get ur wings! (machiam license, but not class 3 that 1... LoL! )
total will take abt 2yrs+... quite long lahz, but benefits damn gd!
here r the requirements to be a pilot (both male n female):
- male or female singaporee citizen
- 18 - 27 yrs old (if u r not graduate then cannot be more than 25 yrs old)
- full GCE A-Level/Polytechnic Diploma/University Degree
- medically fit
- 1.62m to 1.90m
- no more than 500 degrees per eye, correctable to 6/6
- normal colour vision
fyi, those who got wear spects but below 500 degrees per eye hor, got gd news, if u pass the interview n everything hor, air force will sponsor lasik surgery for u. shiok ah!
hope my information can help u, all the best! -

don't really have a choice on what aircraft you'll be flying... but there are 3 female pilots at my unit and i've seen a lady pilot flying the c-130.Originally posted by sgFish:whoa..sorry i can't help you cuz i'm not in the position to..

If you would give me a choice, I'd want to fly a Su-34 (Su-27 Variant - Two seater side by side, like a car) with a female fighter pilot.
At least, during those long range nocturnal strike missions, can have good company.Originally posted by cheeze:As far as i noe, there's only 1 female fighter at the moment. -
from what i know, there are a total of slightly over ten female pilots in the RSAF. there is one from fast jets(lt khoo) and the rest are from multiengine and helis. girls stand to go through the same process. and supposely research has shown females take G forces better too...
