Gliding - 6 June 2023
Evening gliding at Pitt Meadows Gliding site - THIS IS NOT THE SAME LOCATION AS THE MAIN AIRPORT! See the map below.

After signing up, you will be contacted no later than Sunday evening as to whether you are confirmed to fly. Priority will be given to those who haven't flown this training year.

Please watch your email that you used to sign up for any last-minute changes.

Start - show up at gliding site at 1745 hrs (5:45 pm) - see map below
End - flights should be done at 2115 hrs (9:15 pm) 

***Do not be late for the timings! Plan to arrive early. If the gates are closed, please carefully park on the south side of the road, headed east and wait for staff. When picking up cadets at the end of the session, please do the same.***

GLIDING OPERATIONS

Please be aware that gliding is always weather dependent, and cancellation of the exercise may occur. You will be notified by email if cancellation is necessary. Parents are welcome to stay and observe the operations, BUT:

  • you will be on a Transport Canada aerodrome, which means you can not wander from the strictly defined waiting area; if you do, you will be subject to legal action and the Air Cadets may lose the use of the airport!
  • if you choose to stay, you must remain for the entire evening session as the gates will be locked once flying starts

Cadets must take note of the following:

  • cadets are required to stay for the duration of gliding, and are not permitted to leave
  • facilities are limited to a portable washroom
  • cadets can bring food and water with them if they wish as food or water is not available; a lawn chair is advisable
  • civilian clothes will be worn – cadets should dress for weather as conditions can change quickly and there is no shelter on the airfield– jacket, hat, boots (not cadet)

Parents/drivers must not leave until the escort from the Gliding program arrives. It is imperative that the parents, drivers, Cadets, and escort Officers understand that they are not permitted on the airfield without a gliding escort. If the parents or drivers for the Cadets arrive late, they need to email 754air@cadets.gc.ca and request assistance.

Parents or drivers are NOT to seek out assistance or direction on how to get on the airfield from any of the tenants at the airport.

Here is a map and driving instructions.
