To receive the United States Air Force Pilot Badge, a soldier must be a graduate of USAF Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) or pilot or helicopter training provided by another military service, provided the training is equivalent to USAF training. The soldier must also be physically qualified in accordance with applicable regulations.
