An Air Cadet Field Training Exercise (FTX) is a weekend-long, overnight, hands-on outdoor activity where cadets practice aircrew survival skills, like shelter building, fire-starting, land navigation, and radio communication. These mandatory exercises occur twice a year in the spring and fall, focusing on practical, experiential learning in a safe, controlled environment to develop leadership, teamwork, confidence, and physical fitness.
Here are some pictures from the 2 FTXs we did last year with 527, 639, & 580 Air Cadet Squadrons.
