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?

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



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.

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