I was wondering if anyone could help; I am looking in to C-130 Conversion Courses (any stage of training following 2FTS at Pearce).
To my understanding, trainees are sent to RAAF Base Richmond No.285 OCU (84 wing) where they are instructed using high fidelity cockpit simulators to represent the actual C-130 capacity. I believe the course runs for 16 weeks, when finally the trainees are posted to No.37 to fly as a co-pilot for 2 YEARS before proceeding to captaincy.
Please confirm this information, as i feel that there may be inaccuracies. Also, any supporting documents/websites?
