Applications for the 26–30 October 2026 combined Pilot and EMA board are closed. Pilot applications for the February 2027 combined Pilot and EMA board will open at a later date.

The Pilot Hiring SharePoint site is closed between hiring cycles and will reopen when the next official Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) solicitation message is published.

To ensure all applicants receive the most current guidance, eligibility requirements, and submission instructions, SharePoint access is limited to the application window identified in each hiring cycle’s solicitation message. Access requests submitted outside that window will be denied until the next hiring cycle opens.
