I’ve just run the figures for my Squadron.
2019 - 1 Flight (100% of Current SMS Cadets)
2020 - 0 Flights (0%) (Covid 19)
2021 - 1 Flight (33%)
2022 - 2 Flights (13%)
2023 - 6 Flights (21%)
2024 - 10 Flights (20%)
If I exclude the 14 cadets that started last night, 2024 increases to 27%, if we assume that the 6 slots we have in October are all flown, it moves to 43%.
Assumption that each flight has been flown by a unique cadet with above %, this also includes both Tutor AEF and Viking GIC
13 unique current cadets have flown at some point in their cadet career, there are additional flights recorded for 3 x CFAVs in the data above. This is 35% of the squadron (ignoring those who joined last night) that have got airborne at some point as a cadet. If all 6 October slots are first time flyers, this moves to 51%.
