YUASUnit Contact

Yorkshire Universities Air Squadron

Yorkshire UAS is an organisation open to students studying for a degree at any of the main Yorkshire Universities. It is intended to give leadership, teambuilding and physical education training to students who are prospective RAF members. Each member is entitled to 10 hours flying each year, although unlike in the past, this does not count towards flying training should the student decide to join the RAF as a pilot upon completion of their degree.

Recent changes to the RAF's University Air Squadron system have meant that since September 2005, while Yorkshire UAS members are still entitled to fly, the unit is no longer responsible for RAF flying training.

Teamwork and Leadership:

Yorkshire UAS are keen to teach the virtues of performing within a team as well as the essencials of leadership as an RAF Officer.
