Becoming a pilot is more than just learning how to fly. It also takes hard work in learning and understanding how the aircraft works and the operations of flight. Cadet Timothy Johnson from 531 City of Trail Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron in Trail had the opportunity to pursue the basics of this unique knowledge this summer as he was been selected for the Basic Aviation Technology and Aerospace Course at Albert Head Cadet Training Centre. He demonstrated such a marked improvement that he was presented with the award for Most Improved Cadet for Flight 8.

This three-week the Basic Aviation Technology and Aerospace Course provides cadets an opportunity to develop the fundamentals of aerospace, airport operations, and aircraft manufacturing and maintenance. Cadets will participate in activities like aerospace, aerodrome operations, and aircraft manufacturing and maintenance. 

There are approximately 52 cadets who completed the Basic Aviation Technology and Aerospace Course at Albert Head just like Johnson and he hoping to attend the Glider Pilot Scholarship course in future summers.

“I really enjoyed all the opportunities which I have had at Albert Head this summer. The hands-on projects were definitely a highlight and I particularly enjoyed getting to build and launch a rocket” said Johnson.
