A few cadets from my squadron have been flying and gliding recently.
I have added the flights to their logs in Units. What qualifications do I need to add to their SMS before requesting the badges?
Thanks
To get the badge they also need to have done Flying Ops, which is part of First Class training and complete the Blue Aviation Training Package (ATP), which is simulator-based training. You can then add a separate qualification for the badge.
Hope that helps.
Do you know the requirements for the sim based training?
A staff member who’s attended a Trainer course and then followed this guide on a Sim with the cadet.
That is the official answer, although I haven’t heard of any training courses being run where I am.
I just discussed it with the potential instructors to make sure they were comfortable with the content (the same way I would for classification training for example) and how to use a flight sim. From what I understand, the content is very basic.
The content is basic, but still requires a suitably trained person to sign it off.
