Aviation Observer Training...The entry point for AuxAir
Want to join this important and exciting program?
See your FSO-MT!
Auxiliary Aviation is a District program. You however, have joined an aviation-focused flotilla and have the advantage of ready access to shipmates possessing a wealth of knowledge and experience, that can help you learn the ropes...just ask them!
Prior aviation experience is not required! However, there's a lot to learn, so a knowledgeable mentor and a strong desire to succeed are critical for any aspiring flight crew member...and we have them at AuxAir Station Caldwell!
Training focuses on the flight crew tasks, missions, reporting, and operational requirements. For this reason, everyone starts by becoming an Observer, regardless of prior experience or FAA ratings. Observer training includes both practical and academic elements and can start as soon as the member achieves AP status.
It's fun and rewarding to be part of this great program, and once qualified you will be an effective force multiplier for the Coast Guard.
