Let's go."

The night flying and teaching someone who's never done it before is where, you know, you still get a bit of a pucker factor.

We did it, like, intermittently too, right? So it's not like you're practicing it every day, but, you know, you fly a week of nights or something, and you get into the groove.

So you do, like, autopilot off, hydraulic off landings at night.

You're connected to the haul down system for that, which is nice.

But you do, like, night cross-cockpit on NVG, STOKE guideline transfers with someone who's never done it before, and you're trying to look over their shoulder, and you just get the odd glimpse of the boat.

There's no horizon.

They're how crews cope with the pressure.

Mm-hmm.

Qualified flight instructor.

When you're done the flight instructor course, you're award- awarded your CCAT QFI qualification, a qualified flight instructor, and that is, like, you know, you're familiar with the training plan, you're familiar with the material, and you're...

When the student goes out with you, they're going to progress through the course.

Uh, and the things that you're saying and doing are correcting errors.

Uh, it might not necessarily be the error that I would select in, you know, 'cause every maneuver's gonna have multiple, but you're correcting them, and they're, they are progressing.

Uh, after 100 hours of instructional, you're eligible for a BCAT upgrade, and that is someone who's very familiar with the training plan, uh, has some experience instructing, and can develop individualized training for a student who's maybe struggling with a single maneuver.

So what does working in standards involve day to day, and how is it different from line instructing?

And a JAG, for listeners, is just a military lawyer.

Yeah, yep.

And, uh, essentially we need to seek permission for every bit of searching that we do, and drilling little holes and putting a camera in there and looking around, uh, documents and everything.

Uh, so w- we found this dhow, and I think we got something like 80, uh, kilograms of heroin off the boat, uh, after a long search.

And then once we get the drugs off, like, they're, they're kinda free to go.

So we seize the drugs, we get a bunch of paper, we, we photocopy it all, and no one can read what's on the paper.

We can't read it.

Can you sort of explain, like, where you thought you'd go and where you ended up going?
