TECHNOLOGY AND AEROSPACE
Basic Aviation Technology and Aerospace Course (BATAC)
The aim of this three-week course is to further develop in cadets manufacturing and maintenance, and inspire them to pursue specialist training in some or all of the subject areas. This aim will be accomplished through the development of knowledge and skills, and by providing ample opportunity for practical application. By establishing a dynamic learning environment and exposing the cadet to a variety of hands-on practical activities, this course will inspire a cadet to further pursue opportunities in the aerospace and aviation field at the Squadron and on future aerospace and aviation related CSTC program courses.
Prerequisites: Must be medically and physically fit, and have completed Level Two training by 30 Jun 13.
Training Centres: Trenton, ON, RGS(Pra) and Bagotville, QC
Advanced Aviation Technology Courses
These six-week national courses are designed to further develop instructional ability in technical skills as well as introducebackground knowledge required in the aircraft maintenance and airport operations fields. There are two distinct courses:
a. Airport Operations (AATC-AO)*
The aim of the AATC-AO is to introduce cadets to programming specific to airport operations. The aim will be accomplished through practical, hands-on learning modules that will reinforce theoretical notions. By establishing a dynamic learning environment and exposing the cadets to a variety of airport operations, they will be inspired to further pursue learning in this program area.
b. Aircraft Maintenance (AATC-AM)*
The aim of the AATC-AM is to introduce cadets to aircraft construction and maintenance. The aim will be accomplished through practical, hands-on learning modules that will reinforce theoretical notions. By establishing a dynamic learning environment and exposing the cadets to a variety of aircraft construction and maintenance functions, they will be inspired to further pursue learning in this program area.
Prerequisites: Must be medically and physically fit, and have completed Level Three training by 30 Jun 13.
Training Centre: Canadore College (North Bay, ON)
Advanced Aerospace Course (AASC)*
The aim of this six-week course is to develop a specialist with the skills and subject matter knowledge required to be an instructor and team leader for aerospace activities within the Air cadet program. This aim will be accomplished through the development of knowledge and skills relevant to various aspects of aerospace science and technology, and by providing ample opportunity for practical application within the format of a simulated space mission project. Candidates should show interest and ability for mathematics and physics.
Prerequisites: Must be medically and physically fit, and have completed Level Three training by 30 Jun 13.
Training Centre: RGS(E) (Saint-Jean -sur –Richelieu, QC)
