The Knaresborough Air Cadets play a vital role in the personal and skills development of young people in our community, providing them with opportunities to engage in aviation, leadership, and teamwork exercises. Recognising the growing need for a professional-grade flight simulator, the Air Cadets identified this equipment as essential for delivering high-quality, hands-on training that would mirror real aviation scenarios. The simulator would allow cadets to experience the intricacies of flight mechanics, navigation, and emergency procedures in a safe, controlled environment, thereby enhancing their practical knowledge and confidence in aviation principles.

​

Knaresborough Revolution quickly recognised the importance of the flight simulator for the Cadets' training program and raised the funds needed to purchase the equipment.

 

Since its launch, the simulator has become a cornerstone of the Cadets' training regimen, offering young people the chance to develop valuable technical and soft skills. This addition has not only enriched the Cadets' curriculum but has also sparked increased interest in aviation careers among local youth, demonstrating the lasting impact of community partnerships in supporting youth development.
