The goal should be to fly the F-15E as a crew (Pilot/WSO) to reach its full potential. However, In order to train effectively on your own, you as a pilot/WSO must be able to use AI. Therefore you should be able to complete everything described in the Pilot/WSO "Basic Section" below with AI. During Qualification your examiner will fly with you as Pilot/WSO.
