A.M.

On behalf of The Squadron at North Weald Airfield The Air Ministry is pleased to administer two residential courses each year teaching the skills and knowledge to fly formation safely.


The Formation School is run over 3 days and is held at North Weald in Essex, in both the Spring and the Autumn.


Each day normally consists of 3 sorties, each with a full brief and de-brief with your experienced formation instructor.  The instructors are all extremely experienced either in the military or within the display world.


Please note that we are unable to supply aircraft and for obvious reasons are only able to accommodate aircraft at the school which are 2+ seaters and of similar type/performance to those already on the school.  In the past we have been joined by Yak-52s, Nanchangs, Extra-300, Extra-200s, CAP10s, RV4s and RV8s.  If you fly a type not listed then please get in touch and you may find we have had enquiries from pilots with the same type as yourself also looking to join in!
