Squadron Ground School
Time: 1900-2100
Location: 1513 Forbes Ave, North Vancouver (Blue Building)
Date: 26 Sept (Tuesdays)

On Saturday, 26 September, we will be starting our Ground School Program. Ground School is an instruction to the basics of aviation and preparing cadets to attend the glider and power pilot training courses. Cadets participating in the national online ground school must also participate in the local ground school program.

Cadets are to sign up at the squadron and speak to CV Frankowski, T if they attend either ground school or the national ground school program.


Online National Ground School
The national ground school program is designed as a mandatory course for any cadet interested in attending the glider or power pilot training course. Cadets must have 45 hours of guided online training and write an entrance exam before the course's completion date. Exam marks are used to assist with the selection of the pilot course.

Cadets are to sign up before the end of our training night on the 25 September and speak to CV Frankowski, T, to be registered for the program. Cadets are also reminded that the locally run ground school program on Tuesday evenings will be essential to succeed in the national ground school program.


SSC Meeting
The SSC is meeting at the squadron on 25 September at 1830. See the parents' SLACK channel for more information.
