It’s all subjective really, but I would say that unless you have been issued the smallest size cadet shirts, and they’re baggy on you, there is a reasonable chance you’ll fly. Having broader shoulders is a good thing - the survival equipment fitter needs to make sure the parachute straps will stay on your shoulders.
I would definitely go - the worst thing that can happen is that you don’t fly, and then you’re in the exactly same boat as if you hadn’t gone.
I know I haven’t been issued the smallest shirt, because I tired on some that where too small, thank you so much for your help
They were very very broken…
Caused me no end of hassle.
Kept you employed though 
Whenever I spot a cadet at Woodvale, I always offer them a look around 611 Sqn (RAuxAF, not ATC).
I’m normally there the second weekend of every month, so if you’re there for the VGS etc and anticipate having a bit of downtime, I’m very happy to entertain for about 30mins a pop.
Have your staff member come and ask for me (or email my cadet email in advance).
If anyone is preparing for things like OASC, I’ll sit down with you and do a current affairs wrap-up.
Nose bleeds from coming so far north ?
11.RAFAC Weight Requirements. Passengers flying in the Tutor must comply with certain weight restrictions. OC RAFAC Squadrons and Escorting Officers (EO) should note that Air Cadets who are too heavy or too light will not be allowed to fly; they should not be selected in the first place to avoid embarrassment and a wasted slot. At most sites, the weight of a fully clothed Air Cadet (without flying clothing and helmet) must be between 28 kg and 110 kg. At sites where a life jacket is worn (Glasgow International Airport, Leuchars Station, MoD St Athan, RAF Woodvale and Cornwall Airport Newquay), the Air Cadet should weigh between 25 kg and 107 kg. Care should also be taken for cadets of a small stature to ensure that the relevant safety equipment (parachutes and/or life jackets) will fit and allow the cadet to fly e.g. can a shorter individual wear the parachute without affecting arm movement or posture. Any concerns of this nature should be raised in the first instance with the Wing/CCF Aviation Officer.
It will definitely be down to the Squippers and probably worth a trip just to be sure. It’s cold enough now that cold weather jackets are mandatory when flying so this will build you out a bit.
Don’t give up.
Never seen these before at 5AEF or 7AEF - was about 3-4C the other day, no jackets for cadets.
Thank you all for your help, I going to give it a go!
I’ve got a new job now. So it really did cause me a headache.
What sorts of weather prevents flying, is rain one of them or if it just wind and visibility?
Rain
Frost / Snow (generally no de-icing options for the aircraft, taxiways or runway)
Wind (limit for parachute landing)
Reduced visibility
Low cloud base
In short, they need to have “Visual Meteorological Conditions” or VMC.
Previous discussion here - there are others…
Thanks, my flight will probably be cancelled then as it is supposed to rain all day!
When are you booked to come to us?
Weather changes.
I went today, and I got flying!!!
Great news, and what a day for it.
Hope you enjoyed it.
Genuinely pleased for you!
I know there is a lot of moaning on here sometimes but it’s always great to hear that a Cadet has completed their first flying or gliding sortie.
Awesome news, well done!!
