Grob Tutor

The Grob Tutor (as seen above) is the main aircraft that is used by the Air Training Corps to provide cadets and staff with the opportunity to fly in powered aircraft.

There are 13 Air Experience Flights (AEF's) located around the UK

The Grob Tutor is a two-seater aircraft and is piloted by an RAF pilot .

Initially a cadet will be shown the basics and principles of flying, but after time will begin to get more involved in the flying of the aircraft.

As a cadet becomes more experienced they may decide to apply for a Flying Scholarship Award .

 

Flying Scholarships

These are awarded several times each year and enables a cadet to learn how to fly at their local Flying School

The award takes them within touching distance of gaining their Private Pilot's Licence

It is possible for a cadet to be able to fly an aircraft before they are even allowed to drive!!!!!
