No, not normally. Most services train in the T-6 Texan II first, so you'll get a comm asel/helo w/IR. In the Navy and Marines at least, there are no restrictions or caveats to transitioning to a fixed wing platform after your first helo tour, whether that is teaching in the T-6, station pilot in the C-12, or even switching communities to a new airplane. It is generally uncommon and frowned upon career wise, but the military will teach you how to fly whatever they need you to fly.Originally Posted by Gilligan13
I just didn't realize that helo guys had a mulit engine fw rating out of training.
