    COMMAND COMMENT

    Perhaps it is hablt but most people whowrite of the future feel compelled toreminisce about the past. To honor thattradition a brief review o f 1980 from theWing's perspective is in order.We had many plusses. We did not kill orseriously injure any of our people whileparticipating in CAP activities. We made itthrough the year without an accident in-volving a Corporate aircraft - and we ap-preciate the efforts of all of you who madethat possible. Our first glider encampmentwas a success and we intend to continuethe program. We received three "new" air-craft as replacements for three very tiredmachines. The Chaplain and Public Affairsprograms were judged the finest withinCAP. Lastly the flight clinic and flight stan-dardization program continues to produceprofessional aircrew members who ably flyour emergency services missions.

    We have had some losses. We have lostsome fine people, Indudlng MarUynRogers, a legend in California CAP. Wecontinue to have unacceptable attrition inthe Cadet program despite the "gee-whiz'recruiting programs. We have not beenable to receive follow-on funding throughthe CAP Office of Emergency Services forour SAR aircraft and the federalmaintenance money will not offset ourcosts. Our Cadet encampments have beenvastly under-attended and I am very con-cerned about it. Finally. some of our betterprograms have been drifting, as we are notable to generate the people to do thework.1981 promises to be a stimulating andchallenging time for all of us. There are anumber of areas in which we need to investsome people and time In order that theCAP program in California will continue togrow and excel. If you want to think ofthem as goals. then here is a quick look atsome of the goals we have for this year.a. The Cadet program has to receivemore emphasis from the unit commanderdown through the newest member.

    Similarly, it would be useful if our moremilitant Cadets ceased to regard SeniorMembers as impediments 10 the Cadet Pro-gram.b. The training programs for Seniorsmust be more broad-based. We envisionthe Orientation Course will ultimately begiven by each group HQ or its designate.That may solve the entry problem asperceived by the Group Commanders butIt does not solve the "growth" dilemma:what do we do with the Senior Memberwho is not. SAR or Cadel oriented.c. Finances are becoming tight for all

    concerned. The escalating costs ofeverything is not news but just as it effectseach family's plans it also is a major factorin unit and individual participation in CAPactivities. A partial answer is to have effec-tive ltnancial planning at each unit level,something we do not now have. Each unitmust have a finance Officer who does morethan write checks and "hound" membersfor dues.d. Computerization is an epithet to somebut it is becoming increasingly necessary atthe Wing level. We are making some but

    not enough progress at the HQ level in go-ing "on-computer". The cost benefits interms of man-hours saved just on SAR fuelforms alone will be enormous. But this dataautomation is also useful for some of thelarger units as well and each unit is en-couraged to develop its own programswhich may ultimately help all of us.e. The largest challenge for all of us is to

    increase the participallon of some of ourpeople. In some units there are peoplewho devote over thirty hours per week toCAP. Other individuals in the same unitmay devote two hours per week. Now Igrant that the former's time may not be allproductive; that's not the point. The pro-blem is that all the work is not getting donein either your unit or mine. Whether thework Is paperwork or painting, preventivemaintenance or post- disaster repairs, toofew workers are trying to do it all with notenough help.In 1981, then, I suggest that in CAP wemake it the year of the volunteer - the guyor gal who has not been overly burdenedwith CAP activities and who can becomeuseful to his or her unit. Why not en-courage these people to become more in-volved. Why not give them a definite job,train them to do it. then let them do It. Theresults cannot help but be a stronger, hap-pier, more productive CAP unit. 0

    dardlzatlon Coordinator, LtC. AlUnebaugh. San Diego Group Threehosted a Flighl Clinic for the emergencyservices personnel in the Southern Califor-nia area. The weekend exercise was basedat the Office of Disaster PreparednessbuUding co-located with Squadron 55headquarters. Aircraft flew from nearbyGillespie Field.More than 60 persons and a dozen air-craft took part in the two-day event. Mis-sion credit and partial reimbursement foraircraft costs were granted to qualified par-ticipants.The activities consisted of structuredteam training exercises conducted underthe direction of qualified monitors. Provi-sions were also made for pilots needingForm 5 and Form 91 check rides.The host squadron, Squadrons 55, wascommended by the Group Commanderand the Group Readiness Officer for theirhospitality.

    California general aviation aircraft fly most hours in nationCalifornia general aviation aircraft con-tinue to fly nearly five million hours eachyear. Texas is second with more than threemillion hours. Only nine others among the50 states - New York, Pennsylvania, il-linois, Michigan, Ohio, Florida, Loutslan-

    na, Arizona and Washington - go overthe million markThis state also continues to boast of hav-Ing five of the 10 busiest airports (Intermsof aircraft operations) in the nation. LongBeach became the Number 2 airport lastyear (Chicago O'Hare still is first) with628,491 operations, 97.2 of them generalaviation. John Wayne Airport (formerlyOrange County) was third with561,300-91 percent general aviation. Van Nuys at581,442 operations - 99.2 percentgeneral aviation - was Hfthand lAX with547,960 - only 15.3 percent generalaviation - was sixth. In 1980, Oakland

    nosed out San Jose for its place among thetop 10 with eighth place and 456,059operations - 87.1 percent general avia-tion. Other U.S. airports in the top 10 in-cluded Atlanta, Denver and Opa Lockaand Tamiami, Florida.The continued high level of aviation ac-tivity, especially general aviation, inCalifornia together with its hazardous ter-rain features and broad areas of remotedesert ensure that "a second to none" SARcapability remains a major, ifnot the singlemost important, CAP contribution to thestate. according to Ltt.:. Betty Decker,deputy director of Operations and chief ofthe Wing SAR program.Overall, despite the fact that high fuelprices and the economic situation causedgeneral aviation activity to decline nation-wide during the lastfew months of 1980 byan estimated 30 percent, this segment ofthe aviation community stillamassed morethan 38.6 million hours last year coveringmore than five billion miles and carryingnearly 242 million passengers. Certificatedairlines flew6.8 million hours, covered 2.9billion miles and carried 316.6 millionpassengers. Air taxi/commuter operationslogged a littlemore than one million hours,

    covered 214.3 million miles and carried 12million passengers.As a matter of no little importance withthreats of fuel shortages stillon the horizon,it is Interesting to note that all of generalaviation - pleasure, executive business,training, aerial application, law enforce-ment, etc. - used only 1.142 bllllongallons of fuel in 1980 compared with10.196 billion gallons for the certificatedairlines. Taxi/commuter operations usedonly 112 million gallons.

    According to the latest FAA statistics,there were 14,746 airports, STOLports,helicopter landing facilities and seadromesin operation at the end of 1980. Callfomiahad 814 of those. There were 814,667pilots (51,733 of them women) with120,180 of the total pilots living in Cal-ifornia.

    General aviation accidents last yearstood at 10.6 per 100,000 hours (or about10 million miles) of flying and 1.65fatalities per 100,000 hours. Thisamounled to a dramatic reduction from the10-year high recorded in 1971 of 18.2 ac-cidents and 2.59 fatalities for equal flightactivity. 0

    Civil Air Patrol rescues Japanese students"To members of Civil Air Patrol"We are Japanese students that wererescued by you in Sierra. Our survival wasdue to your help. We were waiting forrescue In cold mountain. We watched skyhearing sounds of airplane. We had bad

    view because of snow and fog. We had nofood so we became weak day by day. Butwe believed to be helped. Then we heardthe sound of a helicopter. We were veryglad for your kindness and we couldn'tforget your brave forever. We know thatAmerica is very wonderful country andAmerican is very kind people. We don'twhat we say in English. We thank for peo-ple who helped us and say thank you to allof people. Thank you very much."The leiter was hand written. the stylecramped. and bore four signatures:Seuchi Saito, Hlro Kohazal, Taeko

    Okamoto and MLklHoyama. As thewriters said, their command of English leftsomething to be desired. There can be nodoubt, however, as to the sincere gratitudethe fOUTyoung people wished to express.Also, there can be no doubt but that theseheart-felt words more than repaid the menand women of the California Wing whotook part in AFRCC 8-461Ia5t April whenfour young people in their rented Cessna172 crashed in the Hockett Meadows areaof Sequoia-King Canyon National Park,one of the most rugged and forbiddingparts of 'the High Sierra range.The mission began early April 21 whenthe aircraft was reported overdue on a VFRflight plan filed from Las Vegas to theGrand Canyon, back to Las Vegas and onto Fresno byway ofDaggett and Palmdale.Simultaneously, the Flight Service Stationat Fresno and a monitoring facUity atLemoore Naval Air Station reported a"Mayday' on the international emergencyfrequency. The aircraftcall sign was not in-telligibleand the voice had a strong foreignaccent. But the words "in trouble" "enginequit" and "30 or 40 miles from Fresno"came through.Prospects were bleak as Maj. SidStark, the mission coordinator, openedhis search base at Fresno Air Terminal. Atthat time, no one could be sure that theMayday was in any way, connected withthe Overdue Cessna 172. The FAA initiallyreported "negative results" from the allpoints notice (ALNOT) indicating that noFAA facility had talked with the aircraft.Plus. the apparent location given by thepilot in trouble did not coincide with theflightplan by the overdue aircraft. POSSibly,there were two separate missions to con-ducl. To make matters worse, heavy thun-derstorms, rain and snow blanketed the

    area. No air search could begin, at least notin the vicinityof Fresno.Meanwhile, California Wing and NevadaWing began plans to deploy their SARresources along the proposed flight planroute. At Fresno Stark and his peoplewaited and watched the weather. In LosAngeles, Ltc. Stu Hall, the Mission In-telligence officer, assigned to this missioncontinued to query the FAA even thoughthe initial ALNOT was negative.Suddenly, a break came, a break thatnarrowed the problem down to a singlemission and indicated the Mayday heardprobably was from the missingCessna 172.Las Vegas Approach Control found it hadworked the aircraft and had assigned adiscrete transponder code to it. Now LosAngeles Air Route Traffic Control Center(ARTCC) had something on which to basean ITAP (interim track analysis program -a computer program developed to extractinformation from FAA recorded radar dataonce a particular aircraft has been identifiedto the computer).Shortly, Los Angeles Center data systemspecialists were able to tell Stark the air-craft had travelled over Olancha Passthrough the Sierras rather than followingthe flight plan route around the southernflank of the mountain range. The "lastknown position" or LKP placed the aircraftvery near the position called out by thepilot who transmitted the distress call. Nowa maximum effort could be made in thatarea by the CAP, California Air NationalGuard. California Highway Patrol. U.S.Navy, National Park Service and local lawenforcement agency forces cooperatingunder Stark's direction. But, still t:heweather would not cooperate. Snow andfog continued in the prime search area.Finally, on April 25, a Navy helicopterfrom Lemoore made it into the area suc-cessfully locating the crash site and rescu-ing the four cold, hungry and inju.redstudents. Although their injuries were not

    serious, doctors and experienced moun-tain rescue experts said it was "a miracle"they had survived.Navy Lt. Rick Gaw, co-pilot of therescue helicopter. put it this way:"Their plane was a mess. The fact theysurvived the crash was amazing enough.For them to spend five nights up there isabsolutely incredible."In addition to the letter from the studentsand several from thelr parents in Japan thatStark and other CAP representatives havereceived, he was extended personal thanksby three members of the staff of theJapanese Consul General in San Franciscowith whom he worked on-scene. In a for-mal letter, Hiroshi Kitamura. ConsulGeneral. said:"The search and rescue were character-ized by a degree of professionalism and

    human concern whIch gave both conli-dence and comfort to all involved. Ourknowledge of the way you were handlingthe search enabled us to offer maximumreassurance to the families of the missingpersons throughout their ordeal. 'LtC. Betty Decker, chief of the Califor-nia WingSAR program, points out that thistype of recognition is extremely mean-ingful, not just to the mission coordinatorand those who participate in a particularmission, but to the entire wing."In recent years," she said "we haveentered a new era in which CAP hasachIeved greater stature for its role in

    search and rescue but also is faced withgreater responsibility. CAP forces nowfunction as part of a team alongside thoseofmany other local, state and federal agen-cies. We often find ourselves responsiblefor overall coordination of those forces.This calls for a level of professionalism andexpertise well above that formerly re-quired. AFRCC 8461 of 1980 was one ofthose missions. A well done to MajorSidStark and all who assisted him." 0

    Real-life Santa Claus

    Major JIm Howell of Redwood City. Commander of CAP Sq. 110, accepts from Maj. HankLock . Belmont. a Christmas check representing the cOll tn'butions of ouer 30 Iocal tndustria! shopsfor the continued humanltan'cn work of the Clvn Air Patrol.

    In military flight training, a real easycheck pilot was often referred to as a "San-ta Claus" by the student pilots who happilypassed their flight tests.Each year Major Hank Lock playsSanta Claus to West Bay CompositeSquadron 110 in San Carlos as he single-handedly sets about to bring the story ofCAP's humanitarian role to the communityto gain the support of those who recognizeand appreciate the efforts of CAPvolunteers.A former Deputy Commander forSeniors, Lock is currently the Aircraft Bill-Ing Officer for the squadron and is an ac-tive Cadet Orientation Pilot and MissionPilot - in addition to being a chartermember of the squadron and a staunchsupporter of CAP for over 17 years.Major Lock's reputation in th e localaviation and business community is beyondreproach and his congenial personality hasearned him fame as a man to whom it isdifficult to say "no."So ... for the fourth year in a row,Lock has been Singularly responsible for

    bringing the Civil Air Patrol story to localbusinessmen and their response has beenoverwhelming.Through December of 1980, MajorLock received $2,100 from over 30 localbusinesses on behall of Squadron 110 -with more promised. This far exceeds pastsupport which in preceding years hasaveraged $1,000 to $1,500 per year.

    To Squadron 110 members, the reasonsfor this sustained support from the corn-munity are readily apparent. The donorsknow what Civil Air patrol can do (asevidenced by Squadron 110's broad spec-trum of achievements) and the donors feelthey are an integral part of these successes.

    In the past four years, theseachievements have been diversified inno-vative and well-publlclzed. Always in theforefront is the heavy participation insearch and rescue missions with thesquadron's two T-34's, crewed by missionpilots and observers. This activity was cap-ped with three "finds" to their credIt.

    In addition, the Weather Satellite Team(founded by Squadron 110) still is a lunc-tional and vital cog in optimizing CaliforniaWing's search efforts.The cadet program and aerospaceeducation activities are always highly visiblein the community, with the cadets fre-quently participating in community affairs,public events, and in the educational ex-changes with local schools. The squadron-sponsored cadet flight scholarship pro-grams have stimulated squadron youths toseek futures in commercial aviation and inthe military. One former squadron cadet iscurrently enrolled at the U.S. Air ForceAcademy and others are embarked oncareers as Junior officers in reserve com-ponents.The bottom line is that the donors whohave given so generously can see the

    results of their contributions. A s "Ambassa-dor of Goodwill" Major Lock (supportedby the entire squadron) keeps the con-tributors informed through newsletters,local medJa and personal contacl. It is thisrecognition 0 1 supporters that has assuredcontinued acceptance and financial sup-port of the squadron by the community'sbusinesses.

    Qualities of leadershipIn many textbooks there are long lists of

    leadership characteristics and trail ofwhich the average CAP commander wouldfind he has many and many which he doesnot have if he were to compare himself tothose lists. This often makes people feelthey cannot totally be efficient leaders. Thisis not true!

    Regardless of the many personal charac-teristics, there are several qualities that aleader must. have in order to enlist thecooperation of those whom he leads. Abetter word for cooperation is "trust." 1Ithose people who look to you for leader-ship trust you. then you will have a highlevel of loyalty and a high level of perfor-mance, all of which add up lo automaticcooperation.The [irst major quality of leadership isestablishing credibility. This means that insituations where you both guide, assist,and make decisions, you must beknowledgeable and have experience. Thiscredibility can be acquired by anyone bystudying and deliberately exposingthemselves to experiences. Each leadershould have a self-study program tailoredfor himself. Even if you are not requlred totake the ECI course because of your gradeor other exceptions, you should still do it 50that you may understand the scope of itsease or difficulties for your members. andways in which you can help them.Developing credibility requires a great deal

    of time and very creative exposure to situa-tions not normally suggested.The second aspect in developing trust isthat the leader be f lexible, or that he besupportive at the level of the needs of thosewhom he leads. Too many leaders haveachieved a one-person reputation of "hegoes by the book" or "he never follows therules," "he does what he wan Is to," or "heis afraid to make a move without checkingwith others" or "he Is always out there onhis own doing his own thing."A leader is flexible not only in givingdirect help, but in furnishing expert helpeven beyond himself for each solution thatmembers of his command need.If a leader has a high degree of credibilitythat he has established for himself, and ifhe is generally flexible and does not in-timidate the wide variety of needs in hiscommand, people will trust him by voicingtheir needs to obtain solutions required tocarry out their missions.Leaders come in all shapes, sizes.abilities and capacities. If they do notdevelop the above two qualities (credibilityand flexibility), type-casting may causepeople to avoid them and reduce the effi-ciency of a mission-oriented organization,such as Civil Air Patrol.

    CAPR60-1 andCAWG 60-1by Capt. Donald M. BlondlchS ta n da rd iz at io n/Eu al ua ti on O ff ic erH ea dq ua rte rs . C al Wing

    On 5 May 1980 the new CAPR 60-1became effective. All units have been mail-ed a copy of this manual through Unit Mail-ings. On 1 January 1981 the CaliforniaWing Supplement of CAPR 60-1 alsobecomes effective and a Unit Mailing willhave been completed by the time this edi-tion of Bear Facts is published.What is CAPR 60-1 and CAWG 60-1Supplement? How do they affect you as aCAP member and how important are they?Let s look atthe first chapter of CAPR 60-1and of 601 Supplement.CAPR 60-1, 1-2. SCOPE: This regula-tion applies to all CAP aircrew membersand passengers engaged In the supervi-sion, rnanagement and operation of CAPaircraft or CAP controlled aircraft partticipating in CAP activities or missions. Itdefines and strengthens traditional com-mand and pilot responsibility.CAWG 60-1 Supplement SCOPE: TheAWG 60-1 contains additional regula-tions that establish the Flight Standardiza-

    ti"n Evaluatlon program and outlineresponsibiJties and procedures for thedevelopment of flying standards and theuse of CAP aircraft within the CalifornIaWing and must be used together withCAPR 60-1.I had several CAP members of varyingdegrees of experience read the above and

    asked them how this would pertain tothem. Here are a couple of the commentsthat reflect what they said.1. "There is a lot of language about CAPactivity. To me thls means a search, SARTest, Flight Clinic or Civil Defense exerciseand 60-1 would cover activities."2. "I agree about the ac:tivities, but CAPAircraft are also mentioned. A lot ofmembers don't fly Corporate aircraft anduse their own airplane; some borrow andsome rent so this would not apply."3. "CAP Aircraft and CAP Activities OrMissIons means Corporate aircraft onsearch or training exercises. This would notpertain to Form 5 or Form 91 check ridesIn other than Corporate aircraft or for thatmetter Cadet Orientation rides in your ownaircraft ."This seems to be the general interpreta-tion of the Scope of 60-1. Nter some fur-

    ther questioning I found the reason for this.It seems most members read this part andassume that it doesn't apply to them, thenskip on to the next subject. The nextparagraph contains the following titles: a.Associate Member. b. CAP Activity, c.CAP Aircraft. They stop to read about

    Associate member but since they havealready assumed they know the meaningof "CAP Aircraft" and "CAP Activity"because they don'tfly Corporate Aircraft orfly searches they move on. We all knowwhat the word, "ASSUME" can do to us.Lets reread b, c, and n t'hat is hidden onthe next column.b. CAP Activity. Any activity specificallyauthorized by proper command authorityand conducted in the name of CAP to ac-complish official responsibilities or mis-sions, orientation or training of CAP per-sonnel.c. CAP Aircraft. Any aircraft owned byor registered to CAP and any aircraft bor-

    rowed, leased, or assigned to CAP for useby CAP in specifically-approved activities.n. Member-owned Aircraft. Aircraftowned by or furnished by an individualCAP member to CAP for participation/use

    in a CAP activity.You can see from all this that if you are aCAP member and involved in ANY type of

    flying in ANY aircraft for ANY of thereasons stated you MUST comply withCAPR 60-1 and the CAWG Supplement.Why? Because If you are involved in anyincident or accident you jeopardize your in-surance coverage if you have violated ANYof the rules. This can have serious conse-quences for you and your family.We must read and study these regula-tions so that there is never a question in ourminds as to what is legal or not.Remember, If you are in a situaUon whereyou are not sure, don't do it until you are.

    In the next edition of B ea r F ac ts we willcover Chapter 2 of CAPR 60-1 and partsof CAWG 60-1 Supplement since you willhave it by then and discuss generalmisconceptions. 0

    ELI makes for rapidlyexecuted missionIn what was to become a textbook mis-sion, Captain Cliff Shlrpser ofSquadron 135 responded to a call for D.F.

    equipped aircraft to participate on searchmission AFRCC 8-1578, 18 November1980. The missing aircraft was a Cessna172 on a fligbt from San Francisco to Bur-bank. Two minutes after takeoff, CaptainShlrpser intercepted and started trackingan ELT toward the Lake Piru area. Withinfifteen minutes, he was circling over thedowned aircraft. The aircraft was locatedsix miles northwest of Lake Piru. At thistime, he radioed the Mission Coordinatorand requested a helicopter be dispatchedto determine if the pilot of the downed air-craft had survived. Within minutes, a Ven-tura County Sheriff's helicopter departedCamarillo Airport enroute to the scene. Atthis time, a second CAP aircraft arrived atthe scene and flew cover and radio relayfor Captain Shirpser, who continued tomake numerous passes to ascertain thecondition of the pUot. Forty-five minuteslater, the sheriff's helicopter arrived anddetermined that the pilot had been killedon impact. Due to impending darkness andextremely rugged terrain, the sheriff decid-ed not to attempt to recover the pilot'sbody until the following morning.This rapidly executed mission was madepossible by the functioning ELTon boardthe aircraft. Had It not been on board, thismission would probably have lasted manydays and required the searching ofthousands of square miles. This was Cap-tain Sblrpser's sixth find. and four of theaircraft he has found had functioning ELTson board. 0

    Long BeachSquadron 150Capt. GregWeiss, Commander of the

    150th Air Rescue Squadron in LongBeach, commended Jack Van Ausdeinand Hank Thompson on a recent searchand rescue find. He also expressed ap-preciation toWayne Parris for arranging atrip to Western Airlines and a chance to flythe 737 simulator in addition to touring thefacility. The Squadron is also deeply in-volved in a viable training program in gliderflying. A balloon is operating - the glideris going - and the ground school is in pro-gress. 0
