The Air Cadet League of Canada and its Generous Donors

are pleased to offer

Flying Training Awards to deserving cadets.

Continuation Flying Training Awards (CFTA):

Pilot Training Achievement Awards (PTAA):

The purpose of the Pilot Training Achievement Awards is to provide funding for use in continuing a cadet’s flying or gliding training. The awards average $300 in value.

These awards will be given to the top performers on Transport Canada evaluations, combined with outstanding performance as an air cadet. Graduates of the Power Pilot Scholarship Course who apply will qualify for the CFTA and PTAA. Graduates of the Gliding Course who apply will qualify for PTAA's only.
