BECOME A COMBAT HELICOPTER PILOT.

What if you were to go into the military? What if you became a pilot in the Army Light Aviation?

You have a bachelor's degree? The prospect of working on an innovative aircraft, carrying out varied and rewarding missions in the service of our nation tempts you? Don't hesitate any longer.

ALAT is the weapon that operates nearly 70% of the helicopter fleet of the French Forces.
With its multiple specialties such as AEROCOMBAT or TACTICAL FLIGHT: it recruits, trains, and employs its men and women at the controls of new generation aircraft such as the NH90 CAIMAN or the H665 TIGRE.

In this book, Second Lieutenant Malaury Viardot, a Gazelle pilot with the 1st Combat Helicopter Regiment in Phalsbourg, describes his career, from the emergence of the idea of one day being a pilot to obtaining the pilot's licence, through the various selection tests and other military and aeronautical training given at the 4th Battalion of the Special Military School of Saint-Cyr Coëtquidan, at the Base School of General Navelet in Dax and at the Base School of General Lejay in Cannet-des-Maures for the specialization on weapon helicopters.

"In addition to a genuine military career, you are being offered a formidable human adventure marked by the value of a commitment to the service of France's armed forces".
