The short answer is it shouldn’t. That said, I have seen highly competitive units ask Gold to Silver candidates to take the AFOQT just as an additional discriminator, but you would not need to attend UPT as the Air Force sees your T-6 time as equivalent.

All, sorry for the late reply here, and I’ll address the broader question in a post in the morning, but Chaos is correct. The Army does not recognize IERW as equivalent to UPT. If you’re selected you’ll receive your wings via Aeronautical Review Board, but they will have the stipulation: “Rotary Wing Only until Completion of UPT.”

Hey Brother. Yeah absolutely. I made this jump back in 2018. Happy to chat with you about my experience whenever. It’s a LONG an interesting road.

We sure do! I fly BT-13s and do rides for some folks with one, then show our C-47s (I also fly 3 corporate ones for private owners that are the nicest, literally, in the world, and fly a couple of B-25s for museums.
