If you are new to the MA-community, be sure to read about our procedures around the airfield (Linked below) to ensure everyone can have a safe training environment. Good luck and have fun!

• Airport procedures
• Airport charts

- Runways

The goal should be to fly the F-15E as a crew (Pilot/WSO) to reach its full potential and during Qualification your examiner will fly with you as Pilot/WSO. However, you as a pilot/WSO might need to use functions / carry out procedures that are normally carried out by the other crew member in order to train effectively on your own.

Pilot

Basic Section

The Basic Syllabus gives an overall picture of what is expected to be accomplished by our F-15E pilots and should be seen as a minimum level of knowledge. The syllabus should be used to identify educational needs and help you set up training goals for the next sortie. When you can complete all parts of the syllabus without the need for external assistance, you should be well prepared to complete the Basic Qualification.
