1. Eligibility to join UK Armed Forces - usually UK citizenship or citizenship of a Commonwealth country plus 5 years residence in the UK. High level security vetting and clearance. (NB Citizens of the Irish Republic are usually eligible to join UK Armed Forces.)
2. Meet educational and medical requirements.
Potential pilots need at least 5 GCSE passes (incl English, Maths, & Science) and 2 full A Level passes at minimum grade C. It is also worth noting that most potential RAF officers these days are university graduates - it's not a strict requirement, but the majority (90%+) will be.
Aircrew medical requirements are very stringent - perfect health; excellent lung capacity, cardiovascular fitness etc, plus excellent uncorrected vision, no neurological impairments etc.
3. Pass the RAF Officer Selection process, as well as Air Crew Selection.
4. Complete successfully the Officer Commissioning Course at RAF College, Cranwell.
5. Complete successfully all phases of RAF pilot training - roughly a 2-3 year process varying slightly depending on the exact flying roles candidates are aiming for: fast jet/ strike is different from transport; fixed wing is different from rotary (helicopters) etc.
