The military authorities advise that there are currently no plans to expand the category of personnel who can train to fly aircraft in the Air Corps, that is, persons who are accepted for pilot training as Air Corps cadets from the annual Defence Forces cadetship competition.
The report of the steering group on the special study of the Reserve Defence Force indicated that the existing first line reserve system meets the Air Corps reserve aviation requirement. Former Air Corps personnel who volunteer for service on the reserve, or who have a reserve commitment, should be attached to a unit of the Air Corps. The steering group did not recommend that a special reserve unit be established specifically for the Air Corps.
