AFTER THE TRAINING, RECRUITS FOR OPERATIONS CONTROLLER WILL MAN THE OPERATIONS DESK AT THE FORCE'S HEADQUARTERS AT WEEKENDS, LIAISING WITH AIRBORNE AIRCRAFT AND GROUND AGENCIES.
CREWMAN RECRUITS WILL SERVE ON THE FLEET OF FIXED AND ROTARY VING AIRCRAFT.
A RHKAAF SPOKESMAN SAID THAT VOLUNTEERS WOULD BE CAREFULLY SELECTED. ONE OF THE PRIME CONSIDERATIONS WAS WHETHER THEY COULD PUT IN THE NECESSARY TRAINING TIME TO ATTAIN THE HIGH STANDARD OF PROFICIENCY REQUIRED FOR THE DUTIES.
BASICALLY, HE SAID, ALL APPLICANTS SHOULD BE AGED BETWEEN
18 AND 30, MEDICALLY FIT, AND HAVE FIVE SUBJECTS INCLUDING ENGLISH LANGUAGE (SYLLABUS B) AT GRADE E OR ABOVE IN THE HONG KONG CERTIFICATE OF EDUCATION EXAMINATION.
HOWEVER, A HIGHER PROFICIENCY IN SPOKEN AND WRITTEN ENGLISH IS REQUIRED OF MEN AND WOMEN WHO APPLY TO BE OPERATIONS CONTROLLERS AND THEY SHOULD HAVE ENGLISH LANGUAGE (SYLLABUS B) AT GRADE C, THE SPOKESMAN SAID.
CANDIDATES FOR CREWMEN MUST BE YOUNG MEN WITH NORMAL EYESIGHT WITHOUT THE AID OF SPECTACLES. A GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF FIRST AID, SOME MECHANICAL OR TECHNICAL APTITUDE, AND A STRONG SWIMMING CAPABILITY WOULD BE AN ADVANTAGE.
APPLICANTS SHOULD SUBMIT PERSONAL DETAILS AND PHOTOGRAPHS TO THE COMMANDING OFFICER, ROYAL HONG KONG AUXILIARY AIR FORCE, HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, AIRPORT TUNNEL EAST EXIT, KOWLOON.
