The Training of GD Pilot
The Successful candidates who PASS the (i) general service training (ii) flying training (iii) academics are awarded the commission in the GD(P) Branch of the PAF. The graduation parade, a memorable experience for the Aviation Cadets, marks the end of their training at the Academy. They are now ready to join the Fighter Conversion Units where they further develop their flying skills on more demanding and advanced jet aircraft. After successfully completing the conversion, the budding pilots are taken a step further; through the Fighter Conversion Unit (FCU) and Operational Conversion Unit (OCU), where they learn to master the frontline combat aircraft of the PAF. In these units, the pilots are subjected to the most critical and formative stages of training. Here, for the first time, they are taught skills without which they cannot survive, an eagle-eyed ability to search the sky of the enemy, “dogfights” with simulated “enemy” aircraft, and the skill to shoot accurately.
After achieving the desired standards of proficiency in the fighter and operational conversion phases, the officers are now qualified to join the frontline combat squadrons of the Air Force as young operational pilots. It is in these squadrons that they truly grow into air warriors, a closely-knit combat team, getting airborne in their highly lethal supersonic machines to practice air combat maneuvering, weapons delivery, tactical air support to land forces, and many other types of wartime flying. In these squadrons, they continue to strive day and night towards a higher level of professional skill so that they may remain ready to follow in the glorious footsteps of their predecessors.
The profession of a combat pilot in the PAF is challenging and thrilling. The young men/women, The PAF requires must possess a high level of intelligence, sound judgment, awareness, alertness, strong nerves, self-confidence, and relentless determination to become combat pilots. If you have these qualities, join the PAF, and shall train you to achieve your goal. The complexity of modern air warfare can only be mastered by those who can understand, interpret and aggressively utilize the advantage of sophisticated devices and weapons.
The PAF broadens your mental horizon by training you on the best of equipment using the finest training aids. As a result, you not only become a young combat pilot but also attain high educational standards by earning yourself a degree.
