Further Training
Officer, Australian Defence Force Academy
No doubt you will have a definite preference for a particular type of aircraft by the time you graduate. Your operational posting however, will depend to a great degree upon the recommendations of your instructors, who are very experienced and, after nearly twelve months of close observation, are aware of your temperament, your strong points and aptitudes.
While your preference is given due consideration, the needs of the Air Force ultimately take precedence.
On arrival at your new Air Force unit to begin your operational conversion course, you will begin to apply principles and skills you attained during your training to the specific operations, equipment and aircraft. You will learn the theory of tactics employed by your squadron and you will 'crew up' and practise until your team is operationally effective.
