  3. Overview FY12 Executive Summary FY 12 & 13 Training Review FY 12 & 13 Cadet Orientation Flight Review FY13 Budget Situation

  4. FY12 Executive Summary • 18% more funding was added to the training budget in FY12 with mixed national level results • All indications are the training was beneficial • Some areas didn’t see significant growth and actually saw decreases in the number of qualified personnel • 30% more funding was added to the powered cadet orientation flight budget in FY12 yielding a 17% increase orientation flights overall • Some orientation rides do not appear to have been recorded or there were other issues as there were more sorties listed as orientation flights than there were front seat rides • Relocation sorties and the length of orientation rides needs to be monitored more closely

  5. FY12 Flying Hours • CAP flew a total of 100,466 hours in FY12 • Funded Training accounted 25% of that, 24,883 hours • Funded Cadet Orientation Rides accounted for 15% 15,199 hours flown

  6. FY12 Training Breakdown • CAP flew a total of 24,883 hours in FY12 for funded training • CD specific training accounted for 190 hours • 17,458 hours were flown on exercises, evaluations and other mission specific training • 7,865 hours were flown for checkrides, NCPSCs and proficiency

  7. FY12 Training Provided Mixed Results • Some areas saw improvement in the number of qualified personnel from FY11 to FY12 • 38% increase in the number of qualified GTMs • 22% increase in the number of qualified GTLs • 8% increase in the number of qualified ICs • Though more funding was added for training which is primarily spent on flying, we saw decreases in the number of qualified crew members • 11% decrease in the number of qualified MPs • 1% decrease in the number of qualified MOs

  8. FY13 Training Breakdown • 3,216 hours in FY13 for funded training as of 31 Jan 13 • There has been no CD Training • 2,195 hours were flown on exercises, evaluations and other mission specific training • 1,021 hours were flown for checkrides, NCPSCs and proficiency

  9. FY12 Orientation Flight Summary • There was 17% growth in the number of cadet orientation flights in FY12 from FY11 • 19% growth in front seat rides • 14% growth in back seat rides • There are some areas for improvement though • 14% of the sorties flown for cadet orientation rides were to relocate aircraft, a 1.7% increase over last year • There were 3,076 more front seat rides than back seat rides in FY12 • There was a 2% drop in the number of Cadet Orientation Pilots across the country

  10. FY13 Orientation Flight Summary • 8,741 flights have been conducted so far • 4,653 Front Seat Rides • 4,088 Back Seat Rides • Though there are 2,224 qualified cadet orientation pilots, there are only 1,500 active and current in FY12 and FY13 • Current budgets are reduced significantly from FY12, so personnel need to work to maximize any cadet flying opportunities

  11. FY12 Glider Flight Summary • FY 12 exceeded all expectations with 9,282 corporate glider flights • Overall including SSA and member owned, grew to 10,130 • Ratio still needs improvement

  12. FY13 Glider Flight Summary • $27,073 has been moved into Glider funding by Regions, and only $6,929 has been spent as of 24 FEB 13 to fly 1,001 flights • This is less than half of last year where $63,552 was spent overall, and 1,356 flights were flown by now. NOTE: No reports for RMR or NCR in CAPF 18 through JAN

  13. FY13 Budget Situation • Funding we have has been distributed • NHQ originally expected this to support for the first two quarters, but funds will likely need to last longer depending on sequestration and CR results • Training budget is 29% executed with an additional 67% obligated or pending; 4% balance all in the field • Orientation Flight budget is 51% executed overall; 49% balance reflects what is currently in WMIRS; don’t forget to load funding for glider operations.

  14. FY13 Budget Situation • Focus efforts on critical needs and cost effectiveness • Evaluations must be funded first • Checkrides for active Mission Pilots should come next • Avoid/eliminate unnecessary relocation and RON costs • Be extra careful when proposing customer support in conjunction with missions – our appropriation is for CAP training to meet Air Force Assigned Mission requirements • When conducting cadet orientation flights, work to fill back seat as often as possible, and focus efforts on cadets that have not been flown before first • Consider conducting more glider orientation rides; typically more cadets are flown per hour.
