2006/01 - The First Initial Entry Rotary Wing Course

2006

The first Initial Entry Rotary Wing course trained RSAF pilots in basic helicopter operations on the Bell TH-67 before operational posting.

The first Initial Entry Rotary Wing (IERW) course was held on 31 January 2006 at Fort Rucker, Alabama. Trainees were trained on the Bell TH-67 Creek helicopter and learned the basics of rotary wing operations. After completing the overseas course, the pilots returned to 124 Squadron for the ­final phase of their training before being posted to their operational squadrons.
