§ 36. Mr. BILLINGasked what number of hours daily officers under instruction at aerodromes are expected to fly; whether the hours apply to Sundays as well as week-days; and what time, if any, is allowed to such officers and their instructors for recreative and recuperative purposes?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThe number of hours flying per diem depends on the weather and the stage of training. Training in flying is carried out on Sundays as well as week-days. Leave is granted periodically both to instructors and to pupils.
§ Mr. BILLINGAre we to understand there is no regular leave allowed either for instructors or pupils, and that in the ordinary way they can be called upon to put in seven days a week training and instruction?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONLeave, of course, depends upon military exigencies, which are the controlling and determining factor.
