The information requested could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

Data on the number of individuals undertaking flights is not held centrally, however, the number of flying hours flown by cadets is recorded and can be found in the table below:

Financial Year

Hours flown

2014-15

10,144

2015-16

10,649

2016-17

10,268

2017-18

9,102

2018-19

9,360

Up to three cadets can complete a flight during one hour, depending on several factors that may include but are not limited to, an individual’s fitness to fly and weather conditions.
