Cadets are presented with, and assessed on, individual and group tasks in the areas of citizenship, aviation, physical fitness and various other topics within the Air Cadet Program. While the competition serves as an opportunity for the Cadets to make use of the knowledge and skills they have developed throughout the year, the Phoenix Cup would recognize the effort put forth by the Cadets.
