Ideas for Private Pilot’s License

Yes, you want a min of 12 hrs so you can get a bump. The chart is a great illustration how it changes yr to yr. regarding not only the scores, but how many are selected. For example, FY 15 had 46 selects. FY16 had only 14 selects, but the following yr they had 60. What if your class is like FY16 with a low selection rate?

OFF TOPIC, I might be wrong, but I am pretty sure that is probably the x-train ADAF board because the numbers of selected are way too low since AFROTC alone drops anywhere from 350-500 pilots slots per year and USAFA drops 500+. OTS drops about 200. It would be interesting to see the AFROTC boards only stats.
~ x-train boards occur every yr. IE 3 yrs from now you get selected rated, but for CSO, yet always wanting pilot. You go off to UNT anyways. Finish UNT and once at the op base you decide to re-apply for UPT, hence you would apply for the x-train board.
~~ Our DS's close friend went non-rated (maintenance) out of AFROTC. She thought in college she didn't want to go rated. She applied in FY17 and is at UPT now.
~~ Google Col. Mike "Bueno" Good (NASA) He graduated from Notre Dame and went EE, not rated. During his 1st assignment he applied for the rated board. He got UNT, became a WSO. I know this because he was stationed with us when he was in the 111's.

I am attaching PCSM scores of people selected for the last 4 years. If you got anything over 80, you are good to go

Wow!! Thank you, I didn’t even know they released that information to the public. Thank you so much Humey, very interesting data it’s got there. If I saw correctly, when handing in the flight log at TBAS, having a minimum of 12 flight hours directly adds to the PCSM score?

Y’all have gone above and beyond, seriously big thanks.

No one know how they calculate the score. It is a comination of the pilot section score of the AFOQT plus what you scored on the TBAS. When you go on line to to see your Tbas/PCMS score, it will tell you your current score plus what your score would be if you had 0-5 hours, 6-10 hours, 11-20 hours, 21-40 hours and so on. Then when you turn in your hours, your PCMS will update .

They release the averages each year of the scores of those picked for a pilot spot. That includes PT scores and GPA and everything else. They even release average scores of those who get selected for ENJJPT

If you use the search button here you will also find cadets posting their personal stats plus the % of cadets that were picked up within their unit.

ENJJPT is insanely competitive. ENJJPT wings @180 pilots a yr. USAF in total wings @1100 pilots annually.

Actually they all know how they calculate the score. I am going to be honest, I don't recall the exact % or if they changed it in the past yrs., but I recall the breakdown was simple something like:
40% CoC ranking
20% PCSM
15% AFOQT
15% cgpa
10% PFA

Don't want to swear by it, but you get the gist. If you go on baseops.net and use their search tab it will tell you the exact breakdown.

What nobody knows is how many slots will be available and where ADAF MPC will draw the line for pilot vs RPA vs CSO vs ABM. Hence, again, why you should never leave any points on the table. If you look at the graph Humey attached you will see how close everyone's scores that were selected were, which brings me back to the point 1% may seem marginal, but I would be shocked if the line drawn was more than 0.5%. Same with tracking and drop night at UPT.

I meant the PCSM score. He asked "having a minimum of 12 flight hours directly adds to the PCSM score? "
