n. Electronic Chart Display (ECD) – A display device that presents a comprehensive depiction of interactive information and/or precomposed information that is the functional equivalent of a paper aeronautical chart.

o. Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) – An electronic display system intended primarily for flight deck use that includes the hardware and software needed to support flight operations.

13



q. Flight / Sortie - A flight/sortie begins when the aircraft begins to move forward on takeoff. It ends after airborne flight when the aircraft returns to the surface and any of the following conditions occur:

(1) The engine is stopped, or any engine on a multiengine aircraft, [except as required on CAPF 5 evaluations].

(2) A change is made in the crew which enplanes or deplanes a crewmember. A single flight may include multiple take-offs and landings.

(3) The last landing on a cadet's first solo flight.

(4) The glider comes to rest after landing.

14



r. Flight Clinic – An organized consolidated event conducted to improve CAP pilots’ basic flight skills, usually through participation in formal, structured ground and flight activity.

15


Checklists (2-1, n)

n. Use of manufacturer's checklist or NHQ CAP approved checklist(s) is mandatory in all CAP aircraft. All new checklists and checklist modifications require coordination for NHQ CAP approval in the following order: The respective CAP wing maintenance officer, CAP wing commander, CAP-USAF/LR, CAP-USAF/XO, NHQ/DOV and NHQ/DO approval. Coordination will be accomplished via e-mail with a MS Word file attachment. The pilot in command has the final responsibility…

Note: NHQ approved checklists are located online at: http://capmembers.com

16


2-1. Basic Rules.

h. All occupants shall wear seat belts and shoulder harnesses (if available) during takeoff and landing. All occupants shall wear safety restraints during all other phases of flight unless such wear interferes with crew member duties. The pilot operating the aircraft will wear lap belts and shoulder harness at all times.

17


2-2. Operation Limits.

a. A FAA flight plan must be filed and activated for every flight of a CAP aircraft beyond 50 nautical miles distance from point of origin. Those flights that are part of a supervised mission may be exempted from this requirement by the mission incident commander (IC) contingent upon alternate flight following procedures (see paragraph 2-5e).

(1) Flight Plans. Use the three-letter, three-/four-digit call sign “CAP ####” in the Aircraft Identification block in FAA flight plans in lieu of the aircraft registration “N” number. Include the aircraft tail number in the Remarks section of the flight plan.

18


2-3. Passenger Requirements.

…Non-CAP passengers require advance approval through the CAP NOC from NHQ/DO for corporate missions, CAP-USAF LR for AF training missions, or the approval authority for other AFAMs (example CAP NOC/AFNORTH/CAP-USAF CC). Prior to requesting approval for non-CAP passengers, consult the CAP-USAF “Required Information for Non-CAP Passenger Requests” memorandum for record located on the National Aircraft Ops & Stan/Eval web page...

19


2-3. Passenger Requirements.

c. CAP members will carry proof of CAP membership.

d. CAP members will wear an appropriate CAP uniform except as indicated below:

(1) Occupants of CAP gliders and tow planes while participating in glider activities; (NOTE: Though a uniform is not required, personnel should wear clothing that is appropriate for the conditions in which they are operating, identifies them as CAP members, and reflects CAP in a positive manner.)

(2) Crew members requested not to wear uniforms by the customer of a CD/HLS mission;

(3) As otherwise noted or approved in CAPM 39-1.

20


2-4. Aircraft Requirements.

h. Before utilizing a member-owned/furnished aircraft for AFAMs, review and comply with CAP-USAF policies pertaining to aircraft inspections and utilization of the CAPF 71, CAP Aircraft Inspection Checklist (exception: Gliders and balloons do not need to be inspected by CAP-USAF personnel). Inspections must be conducted annually and are valid for one year. A facsimile of the aircraft airworthiness certificate, including gliders and balloons, must also be provided to the CAP-USAF LR for its files when the aircraft is submitted for inspection.. Passenger Requirements.

21


2-5. Flight Release.

f. Flight activities involving multiple orientation flights at the same location, and on the same day, may be released on CAPF 99 without passenger, flight time and estimated landing time information, in lieu of prior eFlight release, provided each participating aircraft and PIC combination is identified in advance and that someone on the ground at the activity site tracks aircraft occupants and flight times for reporting back to the FRO for later entry as eFlight releases.

22


2-10. Air Shows.

Prior to flying in and/or positioning an aircraft to assist with an air show, consult CAPR 900-5 for specific guidance.

2-11. Flight Clinics.

Flight clinics will be planned, documented and reported in accordance with CAPR 60-2.

23


3-2. CAPF 5 Administration.

c. Check pilots should inquire into the applicant’s use of EFBs/ECDs and include their use during all annual and abbreviated flight evaluations, as appropriate. Additional guidance for crewmembers is available on:

http://www.capmembers.com/emergency_services/aircraft_ops__staneval/

d. Complete all CAPF 5 check rides with a check pilot different from the CAP instructor recommending the check ride.

24


3-5. Equivalent Make and Models.

Certain models of aircraft are considered equivalent to one another. An initial CAPF 5 in any model grouping below counts as a CAPF 5 for all models listed in the grouping:

• C182 (except C182QSP)

• C182QSP counts for C182

25


3-6. Airplane Qualifications.

(4) G1000 Equipped Airplanes. CAP uses the CAP in-house G1000 transition syllabus to train members...

(a)For members with no previous G1000 experience by completing the CAP in-house G1000 transition syllabus for VFR operations.

(e) There will be a 180 day grace period from the date of this regulation during which all Cessna factory trained G1000 instructor/check pilots must complete the CAP G1000 Instructor Course (ground school only). After that time, the CAP G1000 transition syllabus will be the primary training course for CAP pilots.

(f) Members who have previously completed the Cessna factory course or any other course in accordance with paragraph 3-6a4(c), above, and are currently G1000 qualified will not be required to take this course, but are encouraged to do so as continuing education.

Recent Mishaps – Basic Overview: Tow Bar – Still attached during flight Tow Tug – attached during engine start Hangar Rashes – Striking hangar doors etc. Taxi Rashes – Striking other aircraft, building,

fence, pole. Tail Strikes – during landings and departures, some

unreported and found during routine maintenance; caused by high or excessive flares, unstabilized approaches, over rotation.

Tire failures – some caused by over-braking. Engine failures – two non-airport landings. Landing mishaps – hard landing causing damage to

metal housing covering the rudder control cables; bounced landing resulting in tail and prop strike.

Landings: x-wind / wind sock / other runway? “Where’s my wing tip?”/”Where’s the hangar door?”

Use of inexperienced members to move aircraft may present higher risk.

Just say “NO!” If you can’t see something, don’t guess. Stop, look, verify…Use your crew if necessary, but do not proceed.

Ground & Taxi Mishaps

National Commander Emphasis Item! CAPR 60-1, para 2-7a. states the following:

“Any pilot operating a CAP aircraft who is involved in a mishap that can be classified as an incident or accident (as defined in CAPR 62-2, Mishap Reporting and Review) is automatically grounded at the moment a mishap occurs, or immediately upon landing if airborne.”

All mishaps must be reported! Take precautions to avoid ground and taxi

mishaps! 39
