===Pilot and TSO Responsibilities=== | |||
'''Fighter Pilot:''' | |||
Fighter Pilots are trained in aerodynamics, support craft and fighter engines, flight systems, meteorology, navigation, plus flight rules and regulations. They also receive training in maintenance and supervision of ground crew personel. They are trained in combat fighter tactics in space as well as atmospheres. They all begin training with runabouts, shuttles and transports so are qualified on all types before graduation. | |||
'''Tactical Systems Operator (TSO):''' | |||
The Tactical Systems Operator (or TSO) is responsible for operating all offensive and defensive systems in fighters which have two operators. This frees the pilot to handle only the operation of the aerospacecraft. Most TSOs are also trained as pilots, for circumstances when the main pilot of the fighter is incapacitated or killed but the craft is still servicable. The TSO answers to the Flight Leader, and is generally subordinate to the Fighter Pilot operating his/her craft. | |||
