Ground School

Ground school is open to all cadets who are interested in taking the gliding or power flying exams in early January 2020.

Ground School will be held on Sunday, 3 November, 2019. The class will be held at the Regina Armoury (1600 Elphinstone St) from 18:00- 21:00 (6PM-9PM)

Please let Captain Walton know if you are attending ground school as there is paper work that needs to be completed.

Technology Project

We are always trying to expand the program and offer different programs so there is something for everyone. Captain Walton is looking to offer an optional technology project. As air cadets, we would like to keep it related to aviation but are welcome to all ideas.

Do you have any ideas you would be interested in?

Is there a cool activity you did at summer training you’d like to expand on? 

See an interesting project or activity and think we should try that? Let Captain Walton know!

Current ideas include:

  • A code club, building and coding some sort of game or program. Possibility of using a Raspberry Pi or a micro controller like a Adruino
  • Learning more about basic electronics
  • Build a robot to preform a specific task.
  • Build a fighting robot (battle BOT).
  • Build and program a homemade drone or RC airplane.
  • Build an air plane tracker like a piaware flight feeder. https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/
  • Tear down and rebuild a small 4 stroke motor
  • Air Traffic Control live simulation 

Supply Officer

We are looking for a supply officer. This person will be responsible for the outfitting of cadets uniforms, inventory and control of cadet stores and squadron assets. Other duties include instruction and supervision of cadets on parade nights as well as day and weekend activities. 

You must be a screened adult, willing to attend cadets every Monday and available for weekend activities.
