What is Ground School?
Ground School is a core component of an aviator's journey to understand topics such as: Airframes, Theory of Flight, Aviation Law, Meteorology, Navigation, and Engines. These topics are required to pass the Transport Canada Exam if you are looking to become a pilot, but are also important topics to know if you plan on working in the aviation industry such as being an air traffic controller, aircraft maintenance, flight crew on an airline, and many other careers.
692 Squadron Ground School
The 692 in-house Ground School is led by Senior Cadets who are pilots and aviation experts at our squadron.
The Squadron Ground School is purely optional and is open to all levels and all ages.
Ground School is to prepare cadets for the glider and power exams before they are eligible to apply so that our squadron can send as many well-trained cadets on the courses.
The goal is also to invite aviation enthusiasts who may not want to become pilots but want to work in the aviation industry in other aspects and give them the technical tools necessary to excel in their future careers.
Please note that the Air Cadet Flying Program is highly competitive, with extremely limited selection spaces every year. The selection process involves a rigorous Qualification Exam (typically administered in early February); cadets with suitably high scores may be invited by the Regional Cadet Support Unit to participate in a selection interview. Interested applicants are encouraged to review CANCDTGEN 016/25.
