Scanner Duties & Responsibilities • PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY: Visual Search • IMSAFE (next slide) • Be prepared to fly the mission — clothing, equipment, credentials, safety currency (eServices), etc. • Assist in avoiding obstacles during taxiing • Obey ‘sterile cockpit’ rules – limit conversation to mission- and safety-related topics during critical phases of flight, or anytime the crew is executing high-load tasks • Employ effective scanning techniques • Report observations accurately and honestly • Keep accurate sketches and notes • Complete all required paperwork • Conduct the mission as planned & report availability • Return borrowed or assigned equipment

12. “IMSAFE” • Illness • Medication • Stress • Alcohol • Fatigue • Emotion This is a system to review important issues to insure you and every aircrew member is ready to fly safely. Answer the questions honestly. If any of these factors adversely apply to you, please do not fly.

13. CAP Missions • Aerospace Education • Cadet Program • Emergency Services • Civil Defense / Wartime (hopefully N/A) • Disaster Relief (Tornado, Hurricane, Flooding, Explosion) • Search and Rescue (Missing aircraft or persons) • Emergency Communications (Airborne Repeater) • Homeland Security (Falcon Virgo)

14. CAP Civil Defense/Wartime Missions • CAP OPLAN 1000 • Provide emergency communications network • Provide damage assessment • Support state and regional disaster airlift (SARDA) • Provide radiological monitoring and decontamination teams • Airlift of high priority resources • Security Control of Air Traffic and Air Navigation Aids (SCATANA) Plan

15. CAP Peacetime Missions • Peacetime disaster relief as a component of FEMA Urban Search and Rescue program • Damage Assessment, Communications, Transportation • Search and Rescue (SAR) • USAF is SAR coordinator thru the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center (AFRCC) • AFRCC implements national search and rescue plan • CAP conducts 4 out of 5 searches for AFRCC • Counterdrug Operations (CD) • Support is limited to: reconnaissance, transportation and communications • US Customs, DEA, US Forest Service and others

16. Peacetime Missions (con’t) • Homeland Security • Controlled thru the National Operations Center (NOC) • National Agencies • Red Cross • Salvation Army • Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) • Department of the Interior (DOI) • Federal Highway Administration (FHA) • Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) • National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) • U.S. Coast Guard (USCG)

17. Liability • Federal Employee Compensation Act (FECA) • Worker’s compensation • Injured or killed on Air Force Assigned Mission (AFAM) • Commercial insurance for Corporate missions • $10,000 death and up to $6,000 medical • Coverage varies depending on the type of mission • Know your coverage for the missions you are on

18. Liability (con’t) • Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) • Liability protection • CAP members acting within the scope of their duties on CAP operational missions • Air Force Assigned Mission (AFAM) • Commercial insurance for Corporate missions • Covers members in the event of a lawsuit • CAPR 900-5, CAP Insurance/Benefits Program

19. Liability (con’t) • It is extremely important to report all mishaps. There are lessons to be learned from each mishap which help identify trends and some mishaps, that may first appear to be minor, are found to be more severe upon further discovery. For this reason, all mishaps must be reported using the mishap management portions of the eServices Safety Management System (per CAPR 62-2). • It is vitally important that CAP members follow all rules and regulations during missions. This includes wearing the proper uniform and carrying the proper credentials. Not following the rules may make you ineligible for coverage under FECA, FTCA, and corporate insurance, and can result in a member being held personally responsible for the damages or medical expenses incurred as a result of a mishap.

20. Operational Agreements • National, regional and state levels • In accordance with CAPR 60-3 • Formalized through agencies chain of commands • Facilitates OPLAN implementation • Agreements are approved and signed at all levels • Contents • Limitations • Reimbursements • Liability

21. Forms • The most basic rule for filling out forms is to enter data accurately (and legibly if using paper forms) • CAPF 101 • CAPF SQTRs • CAPF 104 • CAPF 108 • ICS forms • Most forms are filled out electronically, or transferred from paper copies used in the field

22. CAP Forms 104 and 108 • CAPF 101 is the Specialty Qualification Card and is used to identify mission-qualified personnel. This form is obtained through eServices (My Operations Qualifications). Each member is required to have a valid 101 card to participate in missions. • CAPF 104 is the Mission Flight Plan/Briefing Form that is required for each mission sortie (WMIRS); the pilot usually fills out this form with the observer's assistance • The CAPF 108 is used to claim reimbursement for CAP missions IAW CAPR 173-3. Generally, fuel, oil, limited maintenance, and mission-essential communications expenses are covered by the tasking agency. • Automatically generated in WMIRS for missions

23. Entering Data onto Forms • Data must be accurate and legible • Electronic (WMIRS) • Print, or have another crewmember fill out the form • General rules: • Corrections: line through and initial (no “Liquid Paper”) • No signature labels or stamped signatures • Attach copies of all receipts that support expenses claimed on the CAPF 108 (most receipts are scanned and uploaded into WMIRS) • Review the form. Make sure blanks or “N/A” are intentional

24. Summary • Wartime or peacetime tasking • Plans, MOUs, agreements and regulations • Forms: Complete, accurate and legible • You implement the CAP mission • Know the source regulations • CAPR 60-1 (flying operations) • CAPR 60-3 (training and operational missions) • MOUs • Become familiar with eServices and learn how to fill out SQTRs!

30. The Airplane • CAP typically uses C172 and C182.

31. Basic components

32. Ailerons provide roll control

33. Elevators provide pitch control

34. The rudder controls yaw

35. Trim tabs neutralize control pressures

36. Fuel Selector Valve

37. Magnetic Compass • Primary (wet compass) • Doesn’t require any power • Used to set HI (DG) • Installation problems • Bank angles and speed changes can cause a compass to show the wrong heading Note: This and the following instruments are typical of most CAP aircraft instrument panels. However, it is the information they provide (e.g., heading and altitude) rather than the physical instrument itself that is important to understand. For information on the newer glass panel displays (Garmin G1000), sign into eServices and select the “G1000 Study Material” link in the Utilities column. This page also has links for instruments on the latest refurbished CAP aircraft (Aspen EFD1000 Primary Flight Display, Garmin GNS430 GPS, and Garmin GMX200 Multifunction Display).

38. Heading Indicator • Vacuum gyro (Directional gyro) • Stable indications • Quick response to turns • Electrical or vacuum-driven • Will drift, requires periodic re-alignment

39. Altimeter • Static pressure • Usually set to show pressure altitude above Mean Sea Level (MSL) • Accurate altitude is dependent on the altimeter setting

40. Turn Coordinator • Electric • Really two instruments • Miniature aircraft shows turn rate only - does not show bank angle • Inclinometer shows quality of turn - Coordinated, slip, skid

41. Attitude Indicator • Vacuum gyro (Artifical Horizon) • Highly reliable & useful • Provides a horizon reference • Hash marks indicate bank angle • Climb/descent marks

42. Airspeed Indicator • Static + Ram pressure • Knots (and/or MPH) • Colored markings show ranges • Shows aircraft speed through the air

43. Vertical Speed Indicator • Static pressure rate of change • Climb or descent rate • Has a lag due to design • Use with altimeter

44. Tachometer • RPM • Markings — green arc • Indicates power

45. Other Engine Instruments • Gauges • Fuel (accurate at empty) • Manifold pressure • Fuel flow • Oil Temperature and Pressure • Vacuum and Generator • Exhaust Gas Temperature • Instruments vary from aircraft to aircraft

46. Nav/Com • Primary and Standby Frequencies (flip-flop) Navigation Communications

47. Com Antennas • Normally mounted on top • One for each radio

48. Nav Antennas • “Cat whisker” style • One for each nav • May be dual blade (Bonanza)

49. ELT Antennas • Left: 406 MHz antenna • Right: 121.5/243 MHz antenna

50. Static “wicks” • Mitigate buildup of static electricity (interferes with comm) • Wings, elevators, vertical stabilizer • Take care when walking around
