  • Yes, all military pilots (with the exception of the Army) go through this exact program. However, the six week API program is only the very beginning of the 1.5+ year training syllabus that you must get through to become a winged aviator.

  • To answer the question from a earlier post, I selected helos and will be starting advanced in Whiting on July 8th.

  • Yeah, that's the route that I took. Get good grades and try to PT everyday.

  • I'm still in primary at NAS Corpus. I've been med down from a kiteboarding accident.

  • Hi, I'm an aspiring naval aviator who wants to fly the F/A-18F. I am a Junior in high school planning on going to a 4 year college with an ROTC program and I will be enrolled in that. Do I need to pass certain test(s) before I can be accepted for API? And then what do I do after API? Do I go to Pensacola, FL to start ground school and flight training?

  • whats with the helicopters trying to be submarines 

  • I CANT WAIT!!!

  • Is there going to be a lot a written work

  • @klobpries what does the army put their people through. thats what im looking at doing for helicopters. does the army send their people through water training?

  • I can't wait to get to this school!

  • Sweet, I appreciate that you have the Coast Guard in mentioned in this API video unlike some others. Cool video!

  • i did a very simulated watered down version of this for civilians called aviation challenge. there aren't any overview videos of AC that i can find so when I want to show people I look for API videos and comment the whole time on which parts we did and how each was modified so this was helpful thanks for posting it.

  • third year in the academy, and still they tell me i cant do this. i wish it were easier to get to Pensacola
