Things to bring with you
Airfields are, by nature, very exposed, so you may encounter extremes of temperature and conditions according to the season. As you will spend most of your day outside, it is very important that you are adequately equipped. As well as bringing your 3822 (Cadets Record of Service Book), and a packed lunch, the following items are recommended according to the time of year:
Winter
&Mac183; Gloves/Hat
&Mac183; Waterproof shoes or boots
&Mac183; Several layers of warm clothes
&Mac183; Waterproof jacket (not RAF foul weather jacket)
&Mac183; A thermos of hot drink
Summer
&Mac183; Sun cream
&Mac183; Sun glasses
&Mac183; Sun hat
&Mac183; Waterproof jacket (not RAF foul weather jacket)
&Mac183; Plenty to drink

Bad weather
Although we will do our very best to fly if possible, there are certain conditions which prevent us from flying:
&Mac183; Mist/fog
&Mac183; Strong winds (over 25kts or less than this if there is a crosswind)
&Mac183; Rain/snow
If it is not flyable in the morning you can relax in the crew room until the conditions improve, but if they have not improved by midday, we will usually send you home.
