1. Is it very
hard to get to become an UAV Pilot officer? (cos I heard from my
friends that for pilot, if halfway thru they see you cmi, you are
out.)
Well it really depends on the individual. The reason you have to go
for a compass test is to determine your psycho-motor and
multi-tasking ability. There are a handful who drop out due to
being unable to handle stress in a dynamic environment while in
control of the UAV flight and task prioritisation, for example,
handling emergencies. It's not hard. So it really depends on your
aptitude.
2. Is the OCS training for UAV pilot be under e army or the air
force? (heard that the army's OCS is freaking hard D; )
Air Force.
3. How long is the full training to become an actual UAV officer?
And how is the training like?
The training will be the same as other vocations of other services,
which is 9 months. The only vocation that doesn't follow the
typical 9-month officership training is Pilot.
The UAV trainees will initially join pilot trainees for
groundschool to learn the basic principles of flight. Thereafter
they will specialise in the technical and practical aspects of UAV
handling. Not forgetting the theory part too.
4. How often do I need to travel abroad? Is the training for
UAV pilot in SG or other countries?
Unless there is an exercise which involves UAV operations and
typically lasts for a few weeks, you will find yourself in
Singapore.
Training is local.
