POWER FAMILIARIZATION FLYING – 11 JUNE 2023

IMPORTANT NOTE: As of posting of this message, we are currently still waiting on RCSU approvals for the this activity. Should required approvals not be received by 1600hrs Friday 9 June, this activity will have to be cancelled. (There will be another opportunity later this month)

This activity is open to all levels!

WHAT / WHEN: 872 RCACS is planning to conduct power familiarization flying on Sunday 11 June 2023, from 0830-1530hrs. On the sign-up below, you will find three (3) time windows – you can only sign up for one time window.

All flights will be weather dependant therefore cadets and parents/guardians will need to double check the 872 RCACS FACEBOOK PAGE prior to departing for the airport in order to ensure flights are still occurring.

WHERE: Carp Airport (CYRP) Terminal Building
IMPORTANT – Map: Carp Airport (CYRP) – Terminal Building 

HOW: Famil Flights will be occurring during three time windows throughout the day. Cadets will sign up for a 1.5 to 2 hours time window, and upon arrival and check-in with the 872 RCACS staff member, will be added to a specific flight time slot. Cadets are to arrive no less than 15 minutes prior to their selected time window and must check-in with the 872 RCACS staff upon arrival. Once a cadet has completed their flight they may immediately depart the Carp Airport, or they can remain until the end of their time window. All cadets must be picked up no later than the end of their scheduled time window.

DRESS: Cadets will be required to sit outside in the grass before and after their flight therefore they should wear appropriate civilian attire — flip-flops and sandals are not considered appropriate attire for this activity.

Additional items: Cadets are to bring their own filled water bottle, hat, and any snacks they may wish to have. Cadets may bring cellphones or cameras with them on their flight in order to document their experience should they wish to.

NOTE: Cancellation of this activity may occur depending on weather conditions up to the scheduled date, and the weather on the actual day. Cancellation information will be announced on the 872 RCACS FACEBOOK page.SIGN UP HEREhttps://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0F45AFAA2AA6FEC25-872powerSign up closes Saturday 10 June @2000hrs
