British Army NCO pilot
Hello, I was just curious to see if the British Army still have the NCO pilot program and what the requirements are? I’m 27 I’m joining the army this year in April. I would like to at some point consider being a pilot. Just wondering whether if it’s too late for me.

Good morning.
The Army Air Corps provide the opportunity for NCOs to progress to pilot, and the transfer process to do this is easier than ever. You will be given more information about how to do this once you have finished your training.
You need to be recommended LCpl (so going into a role where you're LCpl straight away should speed up the process). You need to begin pilot training before your 30th birthday, so whilst the timeline will be tight, it's certainly feasible. There are various elements to complete including aptitude, flying grading and a final interview board.
Just to add, training can take 4-6 years on average to complete, but you will finish training as a Sgt, which is something to aspire towards.
