Naval Aviator Badge From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This photograph shows the wing design, in gold or a gold finish, that has been the standard design since the 1950s. The Naval Aviator insignia is a warfare qualification of the United States military that is awarded to those aviators of the United States Navy , Marine Corps , and Coast Guard who have qualified as Naval Aviators upon successful completion of flight school. The decoration is similar in design to the Naval Flight Officer Badge , consisting of a single fouled anchor, surmounted by a shield, centered on a pair of golden wings. The Naval Aviator Badge is identical for all three branches and is awarded in a single degree. To qualify for the Naval Aviator Badge, a service member must have completed Primary and Advanced Flight Training and be designated a qualified pilot of a military aircraft. Naval Aviator is a term strictly used for officers. Until 1981 the Navy and Marine Corps also had a small number of enlisted personnel trained as pilots. Such individuals were referred to as Naval Aviation Pilots . Naval Aviation Pilot badge, while considered a separate award, was identical in designs to the Naval Aviator badge. United States Naval Aviator From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A United States Naval Aviator is a pilot in the United States Navy , Marine Corps or Coast Guard . Like Naval Flight Officers , prospective Naval Aviators attend Aviation Preflight Indoctrination at Naval Air Station Pensacola , Florida and are designated as Student Naval Aviators . There they receive instruction in aerodynamics, aircraft engines and systems, meteorology, navigation, and flight rules and regulations. Following completion they are assigned to Primary Flight Training at NAS Whiting Field , Florida or Naval Air Station Corpus Christi , Texas . Upon successful completion of Primary Flight Training, they will select whether they will fly fighter or attack jets, propeller driven airplanes or helicopters, with selection based upon the student's performance in Primary Flight Training, coupled with the needs of their particular branch of service the week they select. After selection, Student Naval Aviators are assigned to Advanced Flight Training in their particular pipeline. Student Naval Aviators selected for jet training will be reassigned to Naval Air Station Kingsville , Texas or Naval Air Station Meridian , Mississippi . Those selected for propeller aircraft training will be assigned to NAS Corpus Christi, Texas and those selected for helicopter training will be assigned to NAS Whiting Field. Upon completion of flight training, a second selection process takes place in which Student Naval Aviators select the particular aircraft on which they will fly, as well as to which Naval Air Station they wish to be assigned. This selection is also based upon performance and the needs of the service. They are designated as Naval Aviators and are awarded the Naval Aviator Badge (called in the Marine Corps Naval Aviator Insignia ) in a ceremony known as a winging ceremony . Newly-designated Naval Aviators are then assigned to a Fleet Replacement Squadron for training on their specific aircraft. In the fleet, Naval Aviators are assigned to Navy, Marine and Coast Guard squadrons flying a variety of aircraft.
