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 Aircraft OperationsCAPR 60-1 Changes

  17. 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. Aircraft OperationsCAPR 60-1 Changes

  18. 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. Aircraft OperationsCAPR 60-1 Changes

  19. 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...

  20. 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. Aircraft OperationsCAPR 60-1 Changes

  21. 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. Aircraft OperationsCAPR 60-1 Changes

  22. 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. Aircraft OperationsCAPR 60-1 Changes

  23. 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. Aircraft OperationsCAPR 60-1 Changes

  24. 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. Aircraft OperationsCAPR 60-1 Changes

  25. 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 Aircraft OperationsCAPR 60-1 Changes

  26. 3-6. Airplane Qualifications. (4) G1000 Equipped Airplanes. CAP uses the CAP in-houseG1000 transition syllabus to train members...

  37. Aircraft OperationsSafety Concerns 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.

  38. Aircraft OperationsSafety Concerns “Doveryai, no Proveryai“ (Trust but Verify) - Russian Proverb • 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.

  39. Aircraft OperationsSafety Concerns 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!

  40. Aircraft OperationsSafety Concerns Ground Handling Mishap Solutions from the Minnesota wing: • Aircraft movement guide lines. • Perpendicular termination line. • Rear chock fixed to the floor. • Taxi lines painted to provide • nose wheel alignment. • Best Practice is available on www.capmembers.com/safety
