The Commandant of the Royal Norwegian Air Force Academy is (from Autumn 2009) Colonel Ole Asbjørn Fauske.

Upon completion of the education at the RNoAFA, the cadets are employed as commissioned officers in the Royal Norwegian Air Force.

The officer education is founded on the synergy between military skills, academic knowledge, physical capacity and personal development.

This activity is done within the main areas of air power (military theory, foreign- and security policy) and leadership.

The RNoAFA has a broad and close network with several institutes at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), and internationally within air power theory.
