Canadian Forces Aircrew Selection Centre
The Canadian Forces Aircrew Selection Centre (CFASC) selects Pilot, Aerospace Controller (AEC), and Air Combat Systems Officer (ACSO) candidates for aircrew training in the Royal Canadian Air Force. Choosing the best possible candidates enhances prospective aircrew members’ chances of success later in training.
The selection process for pilot candidates takes two days and involves approximately seven hours of computer-based aptitude testing using the Canadian Forces Aircrew Selection Test (CFAST), which also tests a candidate’s aptitude for AEC and ACSO. Candidates also receive briefings on the Pilot, AEC, and ACSO occupations. Successful candidates may undergo anthropometric (body) measurements at CFASC upon completion of the CFAST testing.
The following resources are available for CFASC candidates:
CFSAC is located at 32 Buffalo Avenue on the south side of 8 Wing/Canadian Forces Base Trenton.
