  2. Topics • Air Crews • Vehicle Operations

  3. MP Duties & Responsibilities • Primary Responsibility: Pilot the aircraft in a safe and proficient manner, following all CAP and FAA rules and regulations • Second: Remember that you are a pilot, not a scanner • The mission pilot is responsible for incorporating Operational Risk Management and Crew Resource Management principles and practices into each mission.

  4. MP Duties & Responsibilities • In addition to these duties, the pilot must perform all the duties of the observer if no qualified observer is on board. • In addition to the duties of Pilot-in-Command: • Responsible for obtaining complete briefings and for planning sorties • Thoroughly brief the aircrew before flight, including a briefing on their responsibilities during all phases of the upcoming flight • Obtain a proper flight release • Enforce sterile cockpit rules

  5. MP Duties & Responsibilities • Sterile cockpit rules; all unnecessary talk is suspended and collision avoidance becomes the priority of each crewmember. • Fly search patterns as completely and precisely as possible; report any deviations from the prescribed patterns during debriefing • Monitor the observer and ensure all events, sightings and reports are recorded and reported • Fill out all forms accurately, completely and legibly

  6. “IMSAFE” • Illness • Medication • Stress • Alcohol • Fatigue • Emotion

  7. Safety — Three Rules • NEVER sacrifice safety to save time • CHECKLISTSUse established procedures and checklists • COMMON SENSE You may have to deviate from common procedures — if you do, use common sense and prudent judgment (see Rule #1) • The most dangerous part of a mission is driving to and from the airport or mission base!

  8. Safety In/Around Aircraft • No smoking • Keep clear • Fire on the ground • Moving and loading the aircraft • Entry/Egress - normal and emergency • Seat belts and shoulder harnesses (<1,000’) • Fuel management – you have an interest in making sure you don’t run out of fuel. The pilot should brief the crew on how much fuel will be needed and where you’ll refuel, if necessary.

  9. Safety during Taxiing • Taxiing – allcrewmembers assist the pilot • Prevent collisions with other aircraft and vehicles • Help the pilot find and stay on the taxiway (bad weather, low visibility, night on an unlighted airport) • Be familiar with airport signs and markings • Runway markings are white and taxiway markings are yellow

  10. Trainees & Inexperienced Crew • Trainees: • Extra time on briefing, duties & responsibilities • When not to interrupt (sterile cockpit) • Inexperienced crew (or not proficient): • Extra time on briefing • May have to assume some duties • Check 101T cards • Flight line marshallers may be cadets or seniors on their first mission • Be alert and have your crew stay alert

  11. Survival and Urgent Care What is your most important survival tool?

  12. Your attitude!Having a positive mental attitude is often the difference between life and death in a survival situation. Be mentally prepared to survive in the wilderness for the rest of your life, or it might be the rest of your life!

  13. Preparation • Carry a survival kit in the aircraft and be sure all crew members know what is in the kit and how to use it. Inspect contents periodically • Rhoda’s Rule states, “If you cannot walk from the end of the runway to the terminal without getting cold then you are not dressed properly!” • Consider the weather over the worst conditions you are flying over • Carry your cell phone (fully charged)

  14. Remember... • A little planning and a few pieces of equipment could be the difference between life and death! Prepare for the area and conditions you will operating in and update your survival kit seasonally. Finally, remember your most important tool is your WILL TO SURVIVE!

  15. CAP Vehicle Orientation • BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE DAILY OPERATIONS OF CIVIL AIR PATROL VEHICLES to reduce MSIHAPS

  16. PRE-TRIP INSPECTIONS • CAPF 73 is a checklist • This checklist covers the necessary items to insure for a safe start of the day • This inspection is to be done each and every day the vehicle is to be operated

  17. CHECKLIST FOLLOW THE CAPF 73 CHECKLIST FOLLOW THE CAPF 73 CHECKLIST FOLLOW THE CAPF 73 CHECKLIST

  18. CAP Vehicle Policies • Drive CAP vehicles with running Lights and Headlights on • Check tire pressure routinely • Van drivers must stay below posted speed limit • Seatbelts are Mandatory • Drivers will not place vehicle in motion until confirmation that all equipment is secured and all seat belts are fastened. 

  19. CAP Vehicle Policies (cont’d) • Will use a spotter for backing whenever possible. • While the vehicle is in motion, provide adequate spacing between the CAP Vehicle and the car in front by using the “3 second rule”.  • Whenever pulled off to the side of the road, The emergency flashers must be on.

  20. CAP Vehicle Policies (cont’d) • While stopped at intersections, maintain adequate spacing between the CAP Vehicle and the vehicle in front.  Maintain enough distance to observe the rear tires of the car ahead touching the pavement.  Before proceeding, verify that traffic to the left and right of the intersection has stopped and if a vehicle is ahead of you, insure that it is actually moving away from you before you proceed.

  21. CAP Vehicle Policies (cont’d) • Practice Operational Risk Management at all times: •     Be consistently alert •     Identify potential hazard(s) •     Assess risks presented •     Determine corrective action(s) •     Initiate corrective action(s) •     Assess results

  22. ROAD HAZARDS The potential for road hazards are endless Listed is some of the more common problems • Potholes • Curves/Blind Curves “mild to extreme” • Speed Bumps • Inclines/declines/Blind hills or valleys/Mountains • Construction Zones • Animals • Other vehicles • Pedestrians/Crosswalks/Joggers • Bicycles/Scooters/Skateboards • Motorcycles

  23. WEATHER CONDITIONS Cont’d • HAIL/SLEET pellets to softball size usually related with Thunderstorms • RAIN light, moderate, or heavy • SNOW blinding or whiteouts • WIND strong or gusting • BLACK ICE (unseen) • CAUTION high profile vehicles are subjected to the possibility loss of control or being overturned
