Looking to do a "Cold Start" Check to Join 11(F) as a Trainee Rio

[Mutley]

ok cool i will take him on his check at some stange when he is free , maybe tonight in the mission

[Father Cool]

I would advise against taking a rio thats not cleared for active into a mission. Its not something that you can limp through during combat with other blue aircraft in potential danger.

[Mutley]

oh yes silly me that will teach me to post when not awake.

if around today doozer i can do your check ride hopefully before tonights mission, then can clear you for active service and you can back seat someone tonights mission

[Father Cool]

That makes more sense.

That makes more sense.

You sure losing was the word you meant? Should it not have been "lost'?

[Father Cool]

Yeah it's just the RIO is integral to the aircraft being operational. Scooby had a real hard time on the first Northern Clout several weeks ago when he took Shaggy up with virtually no experience at the time. Its not easy.

It's a shame we can't, as the pilot, just say:

Pilot: "Right, you're crap, get out and walk and give me back Jester!"
RIO: "But we are at 28000ft!"
Pilot: "Yep, off you go buddy!"

Oh that can be arranged
