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.
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.
