Flight Experience<br />
for CCF<br />
As part of the RAF Air Cadets, our<br />
CCF cadets get the opportunity to<br />
gain air experience in military<br />
aircraft.<br />
8 of our cadets travelled to RAF<br />
Woodvale in Formby for an air<br />
experience flight in a Grob Tutor<br />
T1. After a safety<br />
briefing and undertaking an<br />
evacuation test, the cadets were<br />
safe to fly. Whilst waiting for their<br />
flying slot, members of the<br />
Liverpool University Air Squadron<br />
took the cadets onto the flight<br />
simulator to cover the synthetic<br />
element of training. This covers<br />
the controls and how they affect<br />
the aircraft in flight.<br />
Once finished on the simulator,<br />
the cadets were fitted with 15kg of<br />
safety equipment and fastened in<br />
to the aircraft. Each cadet then<br />
got 25 minutes of air time where<br />
they could take control of the<br />
aircraft, some even did aerobatic<br />
loops and barrel rolls!<br />
Having now completed the<br />
simulator training and a real flying<br />
sortie, all cadets who attended are<br />
now eligible to wear the blue flying<br />
wings on their CCF uniform. All<br />
cadets had a fantastic day and<br />
won’t forget their experience any<br />
time soon!<br />
