Any flight CWOs interested in mentoring an aspiring flight warrant?

2019-06-17T10:27:07-04:00

I'm currently on rotation in Korea and I'm working on my WOCS packet. I'd greatly appreciate a mentor in the aviation community to help me with my packet and studying for the tests. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!!

PFC Private RallyPoint Member There has to be a lot of warrants out here in the aviation field that can coach you or give you some pointers Nick. Here's what you need to do. Go up above on your computer to the Search for People, groups, companies and more - click on he magnifying glass and look for those warrants here in the aviation field. Here is the next step. Click on people and then down the left hand side pick your criteria for Warrant Officer Ranks first, then click on speciality and it will sort it down to the the type of warrant aviator your looking for. I would look for active warrants in the field you're headed in an send them a connection request. Active aviation warrants are going to be your best bet in my opinion. Send them a connection request with what your looking for. Mentorship or Coaching. Good Luck Nick!

I am not a CWO and am still in flight school but I’d be happy to walk you through the packet process up until where I currently am.

Call them, see if they might be able to refer you to any chapters they might have in Korea, I should certainly think they'd have at least one, I'd expect, or, when you'd be back in CONUS, though I realize you wouldn't want to wait that long, most likely...elaborate also, if you can, assocs? Bach? Grades? GPAs? Specific STEM coursework you've done at all, math, physics, chem, actual course titles, as well, so far as possible? And, have you tried to take advantage of any mil aero clubs by you at all, and/or asked for an orientation ride near your installation at all? Then, too, have you looked at other svcs, for their flight programs, and, if so, which ones? The more you relate, the more I and others on here can suggest, just some thoughts, if you wanna yak more, just lemme know, no rush, whenever you want, OK? I'd also seriously try to get as familiar with helicopter engineering as you can, I can suggest stuff for you, plus, YouTube has a good many videos that are quite good on helicopter flight, if you'd wanna look at those also, as well, honest....

Observability - Wikipedia

In control theory, observability is a measure of how well internal states of a system can be inferred from knowledge of its external outputs. The observability and controllability of a system are mathematical duals. The concept of observability was introduced by Hungarian-American engineer Rudolf E. Kálmán for linear dynamic systems.[1][2]

Controllability - Wikipedia

Controllability is an important property of a control system, and the controllability property plays a crucial role in many control problems, such as stabilization of unstable systems by feedback, or optimal control.

Identifiability - Wikipedia

In statistics, identifiability is a property which a model must satisfy in order for precise inference to be possible. A model is identifiable if it is theoretically possible to learn the true values of this model's underlying parameters after obtaining an infinite number of observations from it. Mathematically, this is equivalent to saying that different values of the parameters must generate different probability distributions of the...

System identification - Wikipedia

The field of system identification uses statistical methods to build mathematical models of dynamical systems from measured data.[1] System identification also includes the optimal design of experiments for efficiently generating informative data for fitting such models as well as model reduction.
