Air Corps cadets undergo six months basic military orientation in the cadet school before reporting to the Air Corps to commence flying training and complete officer training. The duration of the flying training course is approximately eighteen months and successful cadets are conferred with "Wings" and commissioned as second-lieutenants in the Air Corps. Eleven Air Corps cadets who are nearing completion of training are due to be commissioned as second-lieutenants and be conferred with "Wings" at a ceremony in Baldonnel on 10 November next.
In addition to the cadets due to be commissioned on 10 November, there are presently two Air Corps cadet classes in training – one class of 12 in the Cadet School, Military College, Defence Forces Training Centre who have recently started basic military training and the second class of 13 cadets in Casement Aerodrome, Baldonnel who are undergoing flight training.
