   |  How do the stripes work?
I know this isn't really a huge issue, but I've always been curious as to how the stripe system works at the academy. My guess would be, 1 stripe = private 2 stripes = instrument 3 stripes = comerical 4 stripes = instructor and from what I can gather, instructors wear blue shirts rather than the white shirts of students? Thanks, |

There are no 1.5 stripers w/blue shirts... Here's the skinny: White Shirts = Students (stripe #'s and meaning previously posted are correct.) none=presolo 1/2 (skinny) stripe=soloed 1 stripe=private single 2 stripes=private multi 3 stripes=commercial multi Blue Shirts = Employees 1 stripe = flight instructor in training (new hire/non-standardized, ie; not flying the line) 2 stripes = standardized line flight instructor 3 stripes = asst. group leader, check airman, standardization instructor or program manager 4 stripes = ground instructor (academic side); assistant chief flight instructor, chief flight instructor always a check airman, usually a standardization instructor and/or a program manager Wing symbology (same for employees and students): plain wings = student pilot or rated pilot (non CFI) wings w/star above shield = rated pilot w/CFI wings w/ star and wreath around star = ATP, ground school instructor, asst. chief flight instructor or chief flight instructor Hope that clears it all up....most of this is directly from the student/instructor handbook, plus a little from experience...for the exceptions.......  |

Three stripes on a student also includes an Instrument rating (most of the time).

So do you ever see students with 3 stripes? If 3 stripes denotes a comm/instrument/multi rated student, doesn't that mean that they are finished with the program? I suppose CFI candidates would wear 3 stripes. |

Guys with the Instrument done but not their Comm have 2 stripes. CFI candidates and Single-Engine add guys have 3. So do those working on CFII or MEI if they haven't been hired yet. Chunk |
