Who We Are

Liverpool University Air Squadron (LUAS) is a group of around 65 university students who are members of the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve. These students receive instruction on various military and civilian subjects ranging from flying to public speaking. They are required to attend 30 training days per year, although the majority attend much more than this. The students wear Royal Air Force uniform for the time they are on duty and hold the rank of Officer Cadet. Like most reserve forces they receive pay for their duty days.

In addition to the students, a permanent staff of six runs the day-to-day operations of the Squadron. They are the Commanding Officer, Chief Flying Instructor, Ground Training Instructor, and an administrative staff led by the Adjutant.
