95 ANNEX N TO SQUADRON STANDNING INSTRUCTIONS APR SQN SI(LOG) 5-1 CADET MEMBERS DRIVING TO/FROM AND ON AAFC ACTIVITIES INTRODUCTION Background 1. The Australian Air Force Cadets (AAFC) recognises that many cadets will reach the legal driving age during their period of service. Many of these members will want to drive to and from Home Training parades and extra-curricular activities in order to reduce reliance on family members. 2. The overarching philosophy is that, whilst the AAFC does not wish to be overly restrictive on licenced cadets driving, a member driving private motor vehicles is a risk additional to that of a normal Cadet activity. That risk needs to be managed and recorded the same as any other. Aim 3. The aim of this instruction is to outline the requirements for cadets driving to/from and during AAFC activities and provide concise guidance with respect to the use of private motor vehicles by cadets. Authority 4. The authority for this instruction is the Commanding Officer, 304SQN. Scope 5. This instruction applies to all AAFC Cadets participating in a 304SQN Parade or activity who are licenced to drive motor vehicles. APPROVAL TO DRIVE General 6. Cadets are only to drive private vehicles to/from and on AAFC activities with the specific and recorded approval of the Commanding Officers (CO) in the case of Home Training Parades, and Detachment Commanders (DETCDR) or Officers in Charge (OIC) of extra-curricular activities.

96 N-2 7. COs and DETCDR/OICs have the right to refuse permission for a cadet to drive where the risk is assessed as too high and are unwilling to take that responsibility. 8. Where a cadet is over eighteen, they do not require parent/guardian consent; however, approvals must still be accepted and recorded per the following processes. The carriage of any underage passengers still requires passengers parent/guardian consent. 9. Where cadets are driving on a Learner s Permit and are under the direct instruction and guidance of a parent or guardian (not any other licence holder), they remain that person s responsibility and the following rules do not apply. HOME TRAINING PARADES Approval to Drive To/From Home Training 10. In accordance with AAFC policy, cadets may only drive to/from Squadron Parade nights where recorded approval is granted by the cadet s parent/guardian and accepted by the CO. 11. Cadets may only drive other cadets to/from Squadron Parade nights where the parent/guardian of the cadet passenger knows the driver and has granted approval, which has been accepted by the CO. 12. In order to gain approval to drive to Home Training parades, form CA002 Permission to Drive to Home Training must be completed. a. Drivers. Cadet drivers must complete the form clearly stating their personal particulars, including: (1) Section 1 Name, rank and Service Number, and current driver s licence details (2) Section 2 Parent/Guardian Consent (3) Personal particulars of all members who will regularly travel as a passenger to Home Training Parades. b. Passengers. Members who will be travelling as a passenger with a Cadet driver must complete Section 1 (driver s name, rank and Service Number) and Section 3 of the appropriate application form. Passengers only need to complete their details as Passenger 1, not all passengers who will travel with the Cadet driver. The form must be signed in Section 2 by the parent or guardian of the driver.

97 N Cadet drivers and passengers must not travel by private motor vehicle to Squadron weekly parades until approval has been granted by the CO. Once approval has been granted, it will remain current unless: a. the Cadet driver s licence is expired, suspended or cancelled by the appropriate State authority b. the list of authorised passengers is no longer current c. disciplinary action is recommended by the Squadron Executive Instructor or Executive Officer, and a suspension of driving privileges is initiated by the CO.

It is the responsibility of the individual to ensure the security of their vehicle and personal items during Home Training activities. The AAFC takes no responsibility for the loss or damage of private motor vehicles. EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES Approval to Drive To/From Extra-Curricular Activities 18. Cadets may only drive to/from approved activities where there is approval granted by the cadet s parent/guardian and accepted by the DETCDR or OIC responsible for that activity. 19. Members may only drive other cadets to/from approved AAFC activities where the parent/guardian of the cadet passenger knows the driver and has granted approval which has been accepted by the DETCDR/OIC of the activity. 20. In order to gain approval to drive to an approved Squadron activity, form CA003 Permission to Drive to Squadron Activity must be completed.

98 N-4 a. Drivers. Cadet drivers must complete Section 1 and Section 3, signed by all members who will be travelling in the motor vehicle to the activity.

Parking and Security 23. Members shall park in marked bays or parking areas unless otherwise instructed by Detachment or venue staff. 24.
