History 

- Has anyone more Informations about this Squadron -
 

705 NAS provides basic and advanced single engined rotary wing flying training for all three services, as well as pilots from foreign and Commonwealth countries. Within this remit, 705 NAS teaches basic handling, Instrument Flying, medium and low level navigation, night flying and basic captaincy.

In addition to pure flying training, 705 Squadron also provides a naval focus for naval officers operating within an otherwise joint service and largely civilian-run organisation. The squadron is commanded by a Royal Navy lieutenant commander, and has a Royal Navy "Senior Pilot", while the Flight Commander billets are filled in by Qualified Helicopter Instructors from any of the three services. Naval graduates of Defence Helicopter Flying School are streamed towards Merlin, Wildcat training squadrons.
