18.01.2022 7/19 Pilot Training Gliding and Powered Theory course. Our cadets and staff were lucky enough to have an up close look at the local RFS operations at Bathurst. It was great to see how the aerial firefightering was coordinated and to see the dedication of another volunteer organisation! A big thanks to the local #RuralFireService for all that you do!

15.01.2022 Whilst we have a temp hiatus, some of our staff have been cracking on with social/sporting gliding. Huge well done to PLTOFF (PAF & AAFC) Michael Develin who smashed an FAI Gold Distance claim and FAI Diamond Goal today in a SZD Junior at Benalla. Michael is a great example for our past cadets that got a taste for gliding on a PEX activity, attended residential courses and progressed through the GFA ranks to an L2 Gliding Instructor in later years, and all with the AAFC (903ATS). The latter part whilst combined with serving at ADFA! Well done on a very significant sporting achievement, the 903ATS team are very proud of you! - not a fast ship by any means!

13.01.2022 7/19 Pilot Training Gliding and Powered Theory Courses: Students from both disciplines got the opportunity to check out the L39 Albatross! Thank you to our Bathurst neighbours Fastjet Adventure Flights -Australia!

13.01.2022 In combination with our 3WG family, 903 ATS was asked to help make some entertaining footage for the Christmas themed song. We think our students did a great job and we hope you enjoy the Christmas Video! Merry Christmas!

11.01.2022 903ATS Aero-Tow Pilots, next to the Fire Bomber Air Tractor! Essentially a giant Pawnee! We wonder how many gliders it could tow?

03.01.2022 Good Morning 3WG Staff, On behalf of CO 903ATS and the 3WG Operations Team, please be advised that the 903ATS Gliding Course EOI’s are now open for potential Detachment Staff. 3WG and 903ATS are now seeking nominations from 3WG staff to fill the following positions; ... - DETCDR (OIC 4) - DETXI - DET FAIDO - DET Support Staff These courses are a fantastic opportunity for 3WG staff wishing to bolster experience for OIC Activity Level upgrade or experience as initial DETCDR or DXI under mentorship. Many of the staff in attendance have an abundance of command experience, and are more than willing to mentor, grow and support attending Detachment Staff in these courses. Likewise, this situation is available to all levels of staff attending, simply it’s a great stepping stone due to medium sized detachment with operational control for the majority of the days being outsourced to Aircrew. Please find the EOI link on the following webpage: http://www.aviation.3wg.aafc.org.au/detachment-staff 903 Aviation Training Squadron (903ATS) will be conducting the following courses for 3WG at the ACM Mark Binskin Aviation Centre (Bathurst NSW) over the below specified periods: 1/20 Pilot Training Gliding 903ATS from 10-18 Apr 20 (ID 8104) 2/20 Pilot Training Gliding 903ATS from 18-26 Apr 20 (ID 8105) For more details please see the 903ATS Website: http://www.aviation.3wg.aafc.org.au/ in the first instance.
