Flying - All cadets have the opportunity to fly in our fleet of twin seat aerobatic aircraft. Not just as a passenger - the cadets take the controls. On the first flight you will be taken to a safe altitude so you can take control and get to know how to make gentle turns. On later flights cadets experience aerobatics such as rolls loops and stall turns and learn how to fly them themselves.

Cadets at all levels of the Air Training Corps have the opportunity to participate in the sport of rifle shooting. Since the ATC was originally a recruiting organisation for the Royal Air Force it made good sense for marksmanship to be on the training syllabus. Shooting remains one of the most popular cadet activities.

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme is a voluntary, non-competitive programme of practical, cultural and adventurous activities for young people aged 14-25.

The Award programme consists of three levels, Bronze, Silver and Gold. Each have differing criteria for entry and the level of achievement necessary to complete each award. The award is a great award to obtain and is recognised and respected by employers.

Cadets have the opportunity to attend a Volunteer Gliding School (VGS) at which they will fly either Vigilant motor gliders or Viking winch launch gliders. The cadets are introduced to the gliders and begin a Gliding Induction Course (GIC). On the GIC cadets have the opportunity to see and practice;

- How the pitch is changed

- How the rudder affects the yaw plane

- How to change the rolling plane

- What happens when the glider stalls

Cadets can also gain their gliding scholarship or even become a flight staff cadet/instructor.
