Flying is one of the key activities that draws cadets and adult helpers alike to the Air Training Corps.  On average each cadet will be offered the opportunity to go flying at least once a year.

Cadets can fly in tandem with qualified pilots at one of Air Experience Flights in the region. Each flight lasts around 20 minutes and includes instruction and demonstration of the principles of flight.

Cadets also have the opportunity to take part in Gliding at one of the Volunteer Gliding Squadrons in and around the region. They can go just for the experience, but they can also opt to undertake further instruction and earn their Gliding Wings.

Cadets also get the chance to fly in service aircraft during their visits to the various RAF stations around the country.  These can be once in a lifetime opportunities to fly in an aircraft that cadets would normally not get to experience.
