Since then I've gotten a civilian rotorcraft pilot license and am working slowly on a commercial license. I plan on staying in the Reserves and taking up helicopters as a civilian career. I've talked with 2 pilots in RC Aviation as well and they were a wealth of knowledge. Unfortunately they can't help much with the practical side of accomplishing what I want to do.<br /><br />Does anyone have experience with RC officers transfer to AV? I've spoken to a recruiter about it but he has been little/no help. I know generally what needs to be done but I also know I need a recruiter to schedule things like my flight physical and SIFT, those are the main things holding me back.

I would complete those and then schedule an appointment with a local flight surgeon to review the documents. A local MEDEVAC unit would be a great place to find someone with AERO access (to input the data). It is a bit of a tedious process, but where there is a will there is a way. PM if you run into snags.

I&#39;m not sure how it works on the RC side, but I know a number of AD officers that became Warrant Officers so they could fly because they were not able to do a branch transfer as an regular commissioned officer.
