SQUADRON OBJECTIVES
TO HAVE OUR BEST YEAR YET?
This simply means, each and every Cadet, NCO and Staff Member to do what they can in order to make
the Squadron, it’s activities, it’s results and successes, as positive and worthwhile as possible.
The responsibility for this lies with EVERY one of us
SQUADRON OBJECTIVES
FOR CADETS TO TAKE PART ENTHUSIASTICALLY IN A WIDE RANGE OF SQN AND WING EVENTS
Squadron Staff and Wing Staff spend a lot of time putting events together for Cadets – whether they
be camps, visits, competitions...
I would rather have to turn people away than to cancel the activity due to lack of interest

SQUADRON OBJECTIVESIt is crucial that you attend as success in these exams brings a BTEC in Aviation Studies – at no extra cost.
All examinations are now done online – the paper system is now discontinued.
Exams are sat chapter by chapter, with roughly 2 questions per chapter which you have to pass to a satisfactory standard...
..meaning if you fail one chapter you only need resit that chapter, and can do so after only 10 days
Don’t forget – you must pass these exams to progress through your career in the Air Cadets: eg, for an Overseas Camp you must be a Leading Cadet
