This is the most interesting bit- what we fly! (Not to us groundies!) We have 7 Grob Tutors.

Here is some information about the Tutor:

Powerplant:	One Lycoming 360-A1B6 of 200hp.
Span:	32ft 8in (10.00m) Length: 24ft 9in (7.59m)
Max Speed:	150mph (240km/h) at sea level.
Accommodation:	Two, side by side.
Recognition:	Single-engined low-wing monoplane. Fixed tricycle undercarriage with small fairing covering the wheels. Short nose. Large glazed area cabin with two windows each side. Tapered wings with square tips. Large fin and rudder with oblong tailplane with square tips set at base of fin.

Each student, on starting at ADStAUAS is issued with a flying suit and helmet, along with non-flying uniform. Once interviews have been completed and medicals passed, students can start the flying syllabus. This consists of several different topics as follows:

1 Introduction and basic general handling.
2 Circuit flying around the airfield, leading to the first solo.
3 Circuit consolidation flying, incl, several solo trips.
4 Practice landings into fields, steep turns and aerobatics.
5 Instrument flying
6 Navigation
7 Formation flying

There are also several exam flights, designed to check whether you know enough to progress to the next point in the syllabus. There is also a Final Handling Test at the end of the syllabus that will have some input into your streaming (fast jet, rotary or multi) if you end up joining the RAF.
