What is the primary purpose of the AAFC Aviation Proficiency course?

The primary purpose of the AAFC Aviation Proficiency course lies in training cadets in aviation knowledge and enhancing their aircraft handling skills. This focus on hands-on training equips cadets with the practical and theoretical understanding necessary to operate aircraft effectively. The course covers various aspects of aviation, including navigation, air traffic control, meteorology, and flight safety, thus providing a comprehensive foundation in aviation principles.

In addition to theoretical lessons, the emphasis on aircraft handling skills allows cadets to develop competencies essential for safe and effective piloting. This dual focus ensures that students not only understand the mechanics of flight but can also apply this knowledge in real-world situations, preparing them for future roles where they might engage in more advanced aviation tasks.

Other aspects, such as military operations or emergency procedures, while important, are not the primary focus of this course. Instead, they may be addressed in other contexts or courses within the broader framework of military training. The primary goal remains centered on equipping cadets with essential aviation capabilities.
