Genuinely interested in a high-flying career? Why not aim for one of nearly 140 light aircraft courses available to air cadets each year at Tayside Aviation in Dundee?

A further 27 places are available at the Air Experience Flights (AEF) embedded with the RAF’s University Air Squadrons across the UK. Take a look at our map to find your nearest AEF.
Yes for 167 lucky cadets it is a wonderful scheme,but it was always easier to get a place on a gliding course and go solo - and arguably a much richer experience than power flying for cadets.
Power flying and gliding are totally different experiences and ACPS courses really are for a tiny percentage of the total cadet numbers.
