  7. Cadet O-Rides • DON’T allow cadets to touch the controls below 1000 ft Above Ground Level (AGL). • DO allow cadets to touch the controls as much as possible once at the appropriate altitude. • DON’T exceed 30 degrees of bank while in an aircraft. • DO demonstrate turns with proper coordination and technique. • DON’T try to make your cadet air sick. • DO explain the physiological effects of flying and put your cadets at ease. • DON’T vary from the flight syllabus (CAPP 52-7). • DO encourage cadets to perform approved maneuvers

  8. O-Ride Request • When: 9-10 August • Where: Fleming Field • 3-4 sorties per day • Total cadet O-ride money available: $1000 • Cadets: AFJROTC attending a summer class on survival • Aircraft type: Cessna 172 (efficiency), minimum of two required

  9. Sunburn • Land of the pale Scandinavians • First warm day of the year • Less than 15 minutes to burn in strong sun • Avoid the burn • Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. • Use sunscreen frequently and liberally • Cover up • Wear sunglasses when outdoors

  10. Summer Driving Hazards • Construction • We have moved from winter season to road construction season • Observe speed limits • Safety of flag men and workers • Do not live the bumper sticker that says, “Stop Honking…Can’t you see I am on the phone?” • Motorcycles and bicycles • It’s warm out, they are out • School is out, kids will be in the streets • I ride motorcycle, my black bike is hard to see at night and I don’t heal quickly anymore

  11. MN Mishaps for May • Dumpster blew into CAP van resulting in a “ding” and scrap in the front door. • Although briefed not to lock their knees a cadet at summer leadership Prep Camp fainted and was out for about 30 seconds. The cadet sustained a bloody nose from impact with the ground. Parent was advised, cadet recovered and continued camp activities. • Cadet participating in Ultimate Frisbee bumped another cadet with her nose and developed a bloody nose. Ice pack was applied, no other treatment required.
