How likely is it for an AH-64 pilot to transition over to 15C? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/how-likely-is-it-for-an-ah-64-pilot-to-transition-over-to-15c <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Currently a student pilot at Ft. Rucker awaiting my advanced course in Apaches. Just interested in the 15C route, and wasn't sure if airframe had any effect on transitioning to it for CCC. Also any input on going 15C would be welcomed, it's difficult to find any information online beyond recruitment stuff.

This assumes there are openings for your pay grade in 15C. Since you are a 2LT I think that is a safe assumption. LTC Stephen F.

Best of luck in your endeavors.

Your only opportunity to do so will be requesting the Military Intelligence Captains Career Course with a fixed wing transition. If you go to normal Aviation CCC, you will never be a 15C. For us RLO folks that is the ONLY opportunity to get it outside of flight school.<br /><br />Source: I'm an RC-12X pilot in an MI battalion. 1LT Private RallyPoint Member Mon, 15 Feb 2016 20:59:18 -0500 2016-02-15T20:59:18-05:00 Response by CW2 Scott Quaife made Feb 16 at 2016 9:36 AM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/how-likely-is-it-for-an-ah-64-pilot-to-transition-over-to-15c?n=1305873&urlhash=1305873 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Lt, timing, timing, timing is everything in the Aviation community for straight commission or warrants. Typically , Lt's get the fixed wing slot before advanced airframes are selected. We had 2 slots in our class both given to Lt's. My experience is these individuals made their case early on to the chain of command. At this point you might have to show up to your first duty station and then ask your chain of command the steps to put in for the transition. Also, check with MI Aviation Battalions in the field. I know the one at Ft Hood as I worked with them in the past. Do your research on your down time at Mother Rucker and you will be amazed what might happen. God Speed.
