Cadets de l'Air 2022

The Air Cadets committee of the Aéro-Club de France is pleased to announce that selections for the 2022 International Air Cadet Exchange have reopened.

ONLINE APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN

FROM 1 DECEMBER 2021 TO 15 JANUARY 2022

For 2 years, the crisis we are going through has prevented this exchange from taking place in the form we have known since France first took part in 1949. The last group of French cadets, selected in February 2020, was able to discover this summer the vast extent of our national aviation heritage. Thanks to the efforts of our European partner countries, we are delighted to announce the resumption of the international exchange from summer 2022. Given the still uncertain context, we will only exchange with European countries, and the committee reserves the right to change the list of destinations up to the last moment.

As a reminder, the conditions for taking part in this exchange are:

• Be a member of one of the 9 CNFAS federations, including FFPLUM.
• Be aged 18 to 21 during the exchange.
• Be of French nationality.
• Have a good enough command of English to fit into an international group.
