AF Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training - OK

If you want to be a USAF pilot, this is the program for you. You will experience what it takes to get accepted to and graduate from USAF pilot training. There will be opportunities for you to meet and hear from ROTC and USAFA cadets who are also on their way to becoming USAF pilots. Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training Familiarization Course (SUPTFC) -MS is designed to provide CAP cadets with the opportunity to experience Air Force pilot training. In one week's time, you will experience much of what USAF pilot candidates experience during their 52-week training. Typical experience may include:

• Classroom Academics (quizzes and end of course tests)

• Flight-line interaction including flight and mission briefs

• Shadowing student pilots

• Hands-on training with USAF instructors/students

• Simulated flight training

• Flights in USAF T-1 Aircraft*

• Visits to other facilities

• Interaction with various career fields

Simulator and flight training is dependent on availability. SUPTFC staff teaches academics, but some classes are taught by AF personnel. 

*Incentive flights are not guaranteed and are dependent on USAF operational tempo. Cadets must be minimum age 16 to be eligible for incentive flights.
