Air Corps certificate officers to pilot department-issued aircrafts.

General Description[]

Air Corps is a division in the unified PD led by Lucas Lovesick that controls the certification for both Air-1 (AS350) and the Jet (Hydra).

The Air-1 and Jet certification is available to all sworn law enforcement officers of the San Andreas State Police, the San Andreas State Park Rangers, the Los Santos Police Department, and the Blaine County Sheriff's Office.

The Air-1 certification grants an officer access to their department's fleet of AS350 helicopters. These vehicles allow officers to pursue fast-driving vehicles, keeping ground units up-to-date through radio communications, as well as conduct search operations in the event a suspect or vehicle needs to be located.

The Jet certification grants an officer access to the decommissioned Hydra jets. These vehicles allow officers to locate and pursue rogue aircrafts.

After years of the cert being in the hands of Jackie Snow and the SASP, Soze decided to hand off the unit to the SASPR post restructure.

Training (Air-1)[]

In order to begin training for the Air-1 certification, an officer must display excellence in their communications. They are expected to be able to convey street names without a visual aide, callout nearby points of interest, and provide cardinal direction without using a compass.

Upon being approved for training, the officer will first begin as a co-pilot. During this phase, they will be taught to communicate with ground units from the air through radio communications, as they simultaneously communicate with their pilot within the helicopter. Once the officer is deemed a competent co-pilot, they will be approved to begin their training as a pilot.

During the pilot phase, the officer will be taught to control the helicopter, communicate effectively with their co-pilot, and pilot intelligently in order to enable their co-pilot to provide high-quality radio communications. As the pilot's ability improves, restrictions previously placed upon them will be lifted. As they gain their freedom as a pilot, they will finally be given their Air-1 certification.

Training (Hydra)[]

In order to begin training for the Jet certification, an officer must already be a fully certed Air-1 pilot.

The training includes takeoffs and landings with VTOL mode on and off. Also intercepting rogue aircrafts.
