The Air Force and Navy, both of whom ostensibly know something about
flying,
do all their training in tricycle gear aircraft. Yet they arguably turn

some of the best pilots in the world.

I think their sylabus and standards are little tougher and higher than
that found in the FAA PTS and the way most civilian flight instructors
actually teach.

Then you think wrong. The Air Force guys use the same Cessna Pilot Center
syllabus and PTS standards as the rest of our students.


How many wannabe students do the military weed out in the interview
process, even before the training starts, followed by the washouts that
do meet the standards once training begins.

I have not had one wash out yet. In fact, none of our instructors have had
one wash out.
