NATIONAL FLYING AWARDS
The Air Cadet League of Canada and its Generous Donors are pleased to offer Flying Training Awards to deserving Cadets.
Continuation Flying Training Award (CFTA)
The purpose of the Continuation Flying Training Awards offered is to provide cadets who have successfully completed the Power Pilot Training Course the opportunity to continue to accumulate flight time. The awards range from $1,000 to $2,500 each.
In any given calendar year, a cadet will be limited to one monetary ACL award (CFTA) or Post-Secondary Scholarship. A CFTA, if not started, may be transferred to an educational scholarship on request of the cadet and approval by the Donor and National Scholarship and Awards Committee.
Pilot Training Achievement Award (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.
Awards for both the CFTA and PTAA will be given to the highest achievers on Transport Canada assessments combined with High School marks, community, service, and performance as an Air Cadet. Power Pilot Training Course graduates applying will qualify for both the CFTA and the PTAA. The Glider Pilot Training Course graduates applying will qualify for the PTAA only.
