Flying

Flying powered aircraft within the ATC will normally take two forms, either as opportunity flights within annual camp’s or more commonly at one of the AEF Squadrons. An Air Experience Flight will normally last for 20-25 minutes and will be flown in the civilian registered Grob 115E Tutor a 2-seat side by side trainer that replaced the military owned Bulldog. On arrival at the AEF Squadron you will be shown a safety video on the Tutor, afterwards you will be kitted out with a flying suit, parachute and lifejacket before being taken to the aircraft.

During the flight you will be given the opportunity to try out some basic flying maneuvers and maybe given the chance to experience some aerobatics.
