What Does A Navy Pilot Do?

Navy Pilots fly from different types of aircrafts to conduct critical missions around the world—most of the time on short notice.
The Navy has a wide variety of aircraft that are used for various purposes, including transport and combat roles.  From jets, to helicopters and turbo-propeller or other tactical aircraft, the Navy aviation training pipeline is diverse enough to give you plenty of choices after completing primary flight training.

During advanced flight training:

You will learn technical and leadership skills specific to your aircraft such as air-to-air combat, bombing, search and rescue, aircraft carrier qualifications, over-water navigation, and low-level flying.
As a Navy Fighter Pilot, the sky is yours to dominate. Your missions are among the most daring and most important.  Imagine yourself doing…

• Complete complex air maneuvers while flying at Mach speeds.
• Catapult off carriers at 170 mph and land on moving runways only 300 feet long.
• Gather intel, drop ordnance and conduct defensive missions—all in the most versatile strike fighters on the planet, the F/A-18 Hornet and the cutting-edge F-35C Lightning II.

As a helicopter pilot, you’ll have the opportunity to fly different missions from the decks of several types of Navy ships with such missions as anti-submarine warfare or tracking potential enemies.
Helicopter pilots search for underwater mines, fly vertical replenishment missions, and conduct emergency search and rescue missions.
As a turbo-prop pilot, you may fly a multi-engine E-2C Hawkeye early-warning aircraft on a radar-surveillance warfare mission from either a carrier or shore station.
Turbo-prop pilots conduct some of the Navy’s most important missions including tracking submarines, surveillance, and collecting photographic intelligence.

Naval Aviator (Pilot) Training

As a Navy Pilot, you’re first a U.S. Naval Officer – then a Naval Aviator.  So, the training pipeline starts here where you’ll be transformed into a Naval Officer.
Naval Aviator (Pilot) Training
As a Navy Pilot, you’re first a U.S. Naval Officer – then a Naval Aviator.  So, the training pipeline starts at the Navy Officer Candidate School where you’ll be transformed into a Naval Officer.
You then transition to Flight School.  The specifics will depend on your assigned aircraft platform.
Let’s go deeper…

Officer Candidate School

Prospective Navy Pilots attend a 12-week Navy orientation course that develops knowledge of the naval profession and helps make the transition from civilian life to Navy life. 
This is called Officer Candidate School or OCS, which is located in Newport, Rhode Island.
Graduates of the U.S. Naval Academy and Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) do not attend Navy OCS.
Academic and military training at OCS are difficult and intense. Good study habits, self-discipline, and physical fitness conditioning are required. 
Satisfactory completion of Navy OCS is required prior to commencing flight training.

Naval Flight School

U.S. Naval Flight School is composed of four phases:
1.Aviation Pre-flight Indoctrination (API)
2.Primary Flight Training
3.Intermediate Flight Training
4.Advanced Flight Training

Now, let’s go through the details of all the phases.

1. Aviation Pre-Flight Indoctrination (API) 

API introduces Student Naval Aviators (SNA) to flight basics. SNAs attend classes such as introduction to basic aerodynamics, aviation weather, air navigation, flight rules and regulations, and aircraft engines and systems.
SNAs also attend classes with the Naval Operational Medical Institute where they are exposed to aviation physiology and learn about how flight affects the human body.
API is located in Pensacola, Florida.

2. Primary Flight Training (Primary)

Primary Flight Training teaches the SNA the basics of actually flying. SNAs have two choices for where to attend Primary Training.
1.Naval Air Station Whiting Field in Pensacola, Florida
2.Naval Air Station Corpus Christi in Corpus Christi, Texas
All Naval Air Stations use the T-6B Texan II to train for Primary.
In Primary Flight Training, SNAs learn visual flight, basic instrument flying, introduction to aerobatics, radio instrument navigation, formation flying, and conducts several solo flights.
All SNAs go through the same curriculum for Primary. At the end of Primary, SNAs choose the type of aircraft they would like to fly.

Here are the options for aircraft types:

• Jet
• E2/C2
• Maritime
• Helicopter
• E-6 TACAMO

Each of these choices have its own subsequent training pipeline.

3. Intermediate Flight Training

Intermediate Flight Training is different for each of the 5 aircraft platforms that you can choose upon completion of Primary Flight Training.
In Intermediate Flight Training, SNAs learn more about navigation and air traffic control by flying to other training bases.
Intermediate training for the single seat aircraft such as the jet platforms will focus on individual skills, while the multi-seat platforms such as maritime propellers, helicopters, and E2/C2 will focus on crew coordination.
Here are the Intermediate training locations for the aircraft platforms:

Platform	Location
Jet	Meridian, MS or Kingsville, TX
E2/C2	Meridian, MS or Kingsville, TX
Maritime	Corpus Christi, TX
Helicopter	Pensacola, FL
E-6 TACAMO	Corpus Christi, TX

4. Advanced Flight Training

Advanced Flight Training is the final stage of Naval Flight School.
Here, SNAs learn skills specific to their chosen platform such as air to air combat, bombing, search and rescue, aircraft carrier qualifications, over water navigation, and low level flying.
Here are the training locations for the aircraft platforms:

Platform	Location
Jet	Meridian, MS or Kingsville, TX
E2/C2	Meridian, MS or Kingsville, TX
Maritime	Corpus Christi, TX
Helicopter	Pensacola, FL
E-6 TACAMO	Corpus Christi, TX

After completion of Advanced Flight Training, SNAs receive their Wings Of Gold.

HOW TO BECOME A NAVY PILOT

If you are interested in becoming a United States Naval Aviator, you must first be aware that earning a commission in the United States Navy is very competitive, especially in naval aviation.
You must determine if you meet the initial requirements to obtain a commission in the United States Navy. So, apply early – approximately 12 months before you graduate from college – as openings are limited and fill up quickly.
To become a Navy Pilot, you must be a 17 to 23 year-old Cameroonian citizen with an Advanced Level and must pass thet Aviation Selection test .
Note that this is slightly different from applying for a civilian aviation position because Navy Pilots directly affect national security. Know that you will be held to a higher standard of performance and behavior compared to civilian counterparts.
If that did not deflate you, you may have the right sense of pride and integrity for this job.
Above are basic information you will need to know before applying. There will be more requirements during the application process, but these will get you in the door.
