Royal Air Force

Your role as a pilot can be as varied and exciting as the aircraft you might fly. Once you’ve completed the demands of elementary flying training, you’ll be selected to enter either the fast jet, multi-engine or helicopter training streams.

You will then be taken through your paces at the various specialist Flying Training Schools. If successful you will become a qualified operational front line pilot. As the pilot of a Typhoon, your primary role will be air-to-air combat or ground attack. In a C-17 transport aircraft, you could be sent anywhere in the world on military support or humanitarian aid missions.
