How do you go from UPT graduation in Oct of 16 to finishing FTU in “at the beginning 2017”. When did you do IFF? Is F-16 FTU still around 6 months long? Can you be more specific about your actual timeline and when you returned to your unit to start MQT? Did you have any prior civilian hours before starting UPT?
No worries, and I apologies, I actually graduated UPT in 2015. I was wondering why my timeline wasn’t making sense in my head when I originally said 2016.
But here’s my approximate timeline
UPT: Sept 2014- Oct 2015
IFF: Feb 2016- Apr 2016
FTU: May 2016- Feb 2017
MQT: March 2017- Jun 2017
And the length of the FTU varies. My class did ours in ~8.5 Months but I have some bros whose class took them almost a year. It kinda varies based on the FTU base (at least it did when I was going through it) but in general I’d say the average was about 9-10 months.
I had about 100 hours and my PPL before going to UPT.
If you have any other questions let me know
