1975/01 - Qualifying instructors

1975

The Standards Squadron was formed, leading to the first batch of locally trained Qualified Flying Instructors in June.

The Standards Squadron was formed in 26 January 1976 and was initially staffed entirely by personnel on loan from the Royal Air Force and Royal Australian Air Force. It aimed to create a self-sufficient training system by starting a local course for training flying instructors. The first batch of locally trained Qualified Flying Instructors graduated in June 1976.
