Air 424 is the four-week survival training course that the Royal Navy gives to its pilots, whether helicopter or fixed-wing. HistoryBefore the mid-1990s, the survival training course took place at HMS Daedalus in Hampshire. The Royal Navy Survival Equipment School was at Seafield Park, Hampshire. The new £3.25m Royal Navy Sea Survival Training Centre opened at HMS Excellent on Friday 2 March 2012 by Commodore Adrian Nance, who was Commodore from 2004-06 of the Royal Navy Maritime Warfare School at HMS Excellent.[1] HMS Excellent is also the home of the Defence Diving School. In February 1995, the Royal Navy Survival Equipment School (RNSES) became part of the Royal Navy Air Engineering School, which became the Royal Navy Air Engineering and Survival School (RNAESS). Underwater rescue training was at HMS Vernon[2] in Hampshire until 1985; the new £15m Underwater Escape Training Unit opened in March 2018. StructureRoyal Navy pilots begin at the Britannia Royal Naval College (BRNC) to do 35 weeks of officer training, then move to 727 Naval Air Squadron[3] to undergo fixed-wing aircraft training on the Grob Tutor; not everyone makes it through this part of naval training. The pilots then undertake Air 424. Once Air 424 is completed, the Royal Navy's novice pilots move onto Elementary Flying Training at 703 Naval Air Squadron in South Kesteven in Lincolnshire, where the pilots effectively gain their pilot's licence after around 60 hours of flying. Helicopter pilots then undertake the Advanced Single Engine Rotary Wing Course at the Defence Helicopter Flying School in Shropshire, which takes 24 weeks and around 60 hours of flying and also includes novice pilots from the RAF; the helicopter pilots then end up at the Search and Rescue Training Unit of 202 Squadron. Fixed-wing novice pilots go to RAF Linton-on-Ouse to learn with 72 Squadron on the Tucano. Pilots also cover the additional one-week Initial Sea Safety Course. Fixed-wing naval pilots have to complete dunker training every two years. Components of the Air 424 courseThese individual components take one week each.
