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.
