As a pilot are you able to fly outside of the army?

Hi there, Thanks for your question. The qualification we hold as military pilots does not directly translate to a civilian qualification. You can only fly outside the military world if you hold the correct civilian qualification too. A lot of our training helps you build hours towards the civilian qualification but you would need to do the test and gain that certificate separately. I hope that helps. Maddie
