Hey man, hope you got that pilot slot, I'm about to take this test for the third time with a waiver now. Thank god the AF has introduced super scoring else this would be impossible lol! I just have to pass in the Vocab section primarily and hopefully score higher in Math Knowledge to get better in the Pilot section
Hey man! This video was great information. I seriously appreciate you putting this out. I am going the civilian to OTS route. I have been preparing and will take the AFOQT soon. Which is my focus for sure. But I am kind of confused on how a regular person can get flight hours to increase their score? How does that even work?
So the best way to get flight hours is to look up flight schools at any local airport and get in contact with a flight instructor to start your flight training. Most all airports have small flight schools at them so it shouldn’t be too hard to find one. Good luck on your AFOQT and starting your aviation journey!
Was the monitor fairly small and square when you took the TBAS? I am testing on a fairly large widescreen and find it hard to locate the rudder controlled plane in my peripheral.
UPDATE: the afoqt has changed the test to where the highest score is what stays. So if you take the test again and do worse you will still end up with the better score.
I will say this coming from a Nav's perspective trying to go Pilot, the "Air Force" doesn't care about getting a PPL to be selected for a pilot slot...HOWEVER, your WG/CC or OG/CC definitely will, and some will require you to have at least in the 90s for a PCSM before they even let you apply (as has been my case). It's definitely not right, but it is what it is.
It’s already been said multiple times I see but just wanted to reiterate that your videos on these tests have proved to be beneficial 👌🏼 I saw this one before I took my AFOQT and like you said focused on that first which was huge. And this one helped highlight how much flight hours could help so I’ll definitely look into it man thank you!
@@classgheros5465 hmm does this happen regularly? I would like to be a pilot for the airforce but still need to Finnish high school lol. College grad year is 2027
It honestly all depends on how you do on the test but with that amount of time and a 94 pilot score I would except you to be in at least the 80’s for your PCSM
Hey man good stuff on this and the AFOQT video. I'm starting my studying for my AFOQT for later this year. How did you originally find a recruiter to sign you up for your tests and are you going to a board soon?
I got in contact with a recruiter through the Air Force website. And no there are no active duty selection boards for the rest of 2021 and I suspect that the next one won’t be till later in 2022
TBAS 2 times, I just took it for the first time, it was a doozy😂 I have 26 flight hours atm, trying to get at least 41 and PPL by January for rated board
My man, watched your AFOQT and this video and gotta say they're the most useful resources I've found on both exams. I appreciate all the insight, good luck being a pilot!
@@classgheros5465 Brother, thought I'd follow up on this comment. Used your resources for the exams and recently picked up UPT slot to fly C-130-J's with ANG! Thanks again for this resource!
Hey brother thanks so much for the video! Just wanted to ask if you could post the Amazon link in a comment because for some reason it's not appearing in the description. Thanks again man!
Did you specifically study for the pilot sections only or all of them? I would love to become either a pilot or navigator, does that mean I should study for those sections only?
No you should definitely study for all the sections because they all matter. But only certain sections count toward the specific pilot/navigator score but pilots and navigator’s still have to pass minimums and have good scores
@@classgheros5465 indeed. I almost have my PPL so hopefully that helps. I have a few ROTC buddies that are switching to navy/Army since the Airforce is so full right now. Worst comes to worst I’ll try for the Navy as well. The national ROTC commander sent out an email stating that the AF is letting contracted kids cross train into other services because the Air Force is so full. I have a friend that graduated 2 years ago and he is just now going to flight school this summer.
