1st Flying Training Squadron is part of the 306th Flying Training Group based at Pueblo Memorial Airport, Colorado. It conducts flight training for all USAF Pilot and Combat Systems Officer trainees, regardless of their commissioning source. It oversees and conducts IFT for over 2,200 Air Force aviator candidates yearly. Constituted as 1st Flying Training Squadron on 9 May 1969 and re-designated as 1st Flying Training Squadron on 28 May 1993.

## Mission

[edit]

The squadron's mission is to screen Air Force aviator candidates for entry into Undergraduate Flight Training as well as to develop outstanding officers through the application of positive life habit patterns and the Air Force's Core Values.[3] The Squadron's mission is to provide primary-stage flight-training to student aviators of the Navy, Marine Corps, coast guard and of several allied nations. Undergraduate pilot training involves many aspects related to the digital era.

## History

[edit]

The 1st Flying Training Squadron provided pilot and navigator proficiency training to all Air Force rated personnel assigned to headquarters in the Washington, D.C. area from 1969 to 1971. It conducted the USAF flight screening program for pilot training candidates between 1990 and 1994 and flew the initial T-3 Firefly operations in early 1994.[1] Current operations include training for all USAF pilots, remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) pilots, and combat systems officers (CSO).
