New pilots start at the rank of Officer Cadet (O Cdt) until they have successfuly completed 3 basic courses in piloting.
1) TAKE OFF AND LANDING
2) DOGFIGHTING
3) THE ABILITY TO BE A TEAM PLAYER
You will notice that the ranks dont go as high as RAF ranks do, we keep the highest rank as that of Air Commodore (Air Cdre) so that the highest rank can carry on flying, since you didnt really see many "Marshalls Of The Royal Air Force" flying combat missions.
Acts of promotion are not set at any specific time, they go on your skill and abilities, you have to EARN promotion, to move up the ranks.
Will be a joy to fly with you all.
