Welcome to BSD, CaptNclimb
It´s great to have you here with us.
First, we will set up an introduction flight with you. It can be any time that you and a Unit trainer or Instructor pilot are free.
The Intro Flight gives you a good chance to see what we do, how we do, and make up your mind if it is for you.
We, on the other hand, can get a glimpse about your capabilities and thus estimate a Training effort for your progress to get you Combat Ready
It´s still very informal just a flight around the base and maybe a flight out to a ship and back. A chance to chat and get to know each other.
Once you decide you like what you see, you will be asked to join as a trainee. You will have access to all the documents and information to help you advance and learn the helicopters you fly.
The readiness level progression starts at RL3 (Trainee) and moves over RL2 (Mission qualified) up to RL1 (Combat Ready). We ask you at least attend twice a month to stay current on the training.
The more you are here and active the more you will learn and advance.
There are many knowledgeable pilots to help you along the way, any questions you have to feel free to ask. Besides this, many Members here are IRL Pilots as well and fly all sorts of Aircraft, so there´s always input about Real Life Procedures and tactics which we want to simulate. In your case, it's a good place to exchange experiences.
So let's start the first step and get a good time to do an introduction flight.
With BSD having both US and EU time zone flights even if you work odd hours you will be able to catch one flight or another.
Welcome to the BSD.
