Senior Cadet

To be eligible to sit the Senior Cadet examinations, a cadet must have been appointed as a Leading Cadet and have completed the appropriate syllabus training including a further 25 hours (or more) of project work and involvement in Extra-curricular Activities.


You will study and take written examinations in two of the following ACP's below:

  • ACP 32 Volume 3: Air Navigation
  • ACP 32 Volume 4: Pilot Navigation
  • ACP 33 Volume 3: Propulsion
  • ACP 33 Volume 4: Airframes
  • ACP 34 Volume 3: Aircraft Handling
  • ACP 34 Volume 4: Operational Flying
  • ACP 35 Volume 3: Advanced Radio & Radar
  • ACP 35 Volume 4: Satellite Communications

Each of these sections has a corresponding multiple choice test paper or practical test. Each of these must be passed in order to progress on to become a Leading Class Cadet. Don't panic! You will be given a lot of help to do this.

Cadets who have any form of learning difficulty, especially dyslexia, should ensure that the Staff are aware. The ACO will do its best to help all Cadets succeed, regardless of ability.

NOTE: Do not get confused between the Cadet RANK and CLASSIFICATION (Training) structures. They are mostly independent from each other.
