60-1 Revision Flight/Sortie Time Definition (1-3, o): Flight / Sortie - A flight/sortie begins when the aircraft begins to move forward on takeoff. It ends after airborne flight when the aircraft returns to the surface and either of the following conditions occur: (1) The engine is stopped, or any engine on a multiengine aircraft, [except as required on CAPF 5 evaluations] or (2) A change is made in the crew which enplanes or deplanes a crewmember. A single flight may include multiple take-offs and landings. Aircraft Operations CAPR 60-1 Changes 10

Aircraft Operations CAPR 60-1 Changes 60-1 Revision Checklists (2-1, n) Use of manufacturer's checklist or NHQ CAP approved checklist(s) is mandatory in all CAP aircraft. NHQ CAP approved checklist must first be coordinated with the appropriate CAP-USAF LR and approved by the respective wing maintenance officer. The Pilot in Command has the final responsibility to ensure each checklist complies with the appropriate Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) or Flight Manual. These checklists do not replace the appropriate Pilot's Operating Handbook or Flight Manual and include selected procedures only. Note: NHQ approved checklists are located online at: 11

Aircraft Operations CAPR 60-1 Changes 60-1 Revision Passenger Requirements (2-3, b): All non-CAP members, other than Military/National Guard, (Title 10 and Title 32)/Federal employees, and ROTC/JROTC cadets (ROTC/JROTC flight orientation program only), must execute a CAPF 9, Release (For Non CAP Members), and leave the form in a secure location on the ground known to the flight release officer (FRO) or mission IC. ROTC/JROTC cadets must complete a hold harmless agreement in accordance with the ROTC/JROTC Orientation Flight MOA. CAPF 9 12

Aircraft Operations CAPR 60-1 Changes 60-1 Revision Aircraft Requirements (2-4, g & h): CAP corporate aircraft are the resource of choice for AFAMs. Member owned/furnished aircraft, with the exception of gliders and balloons, should only be used on AFAMs when CAP corporate aircraft are not available or when mission requirements dictate the usage of non-corporate aircraft. Before utilizing a member-owned/furnished aircraft for AFAMs, CAP-USAF policies require that the aircraft be inspected by CAP-USAF LR personnel utilizing the CAPF 71, CAP Aircraft Inspection Checklist. Inspections must be conducted annually and are valid for one year. A facsimile of the aircraft airworthiness certificate must also be provided to the CAP-USAF LR for their files when the aircraft is submitted for inspection. CAP-USAF also requires the aircraft owner annually to sign a hold harmless agreement (HHA).CAPF 71 13

Aircraft Operations CAPR 60-1 Changes 60-1 Revision Groundings and Mishaps (2-7, b): 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. The pilot will remain grounded until reinstated to flight status per paragraph 2-7c of this regulation. Written notification of temporary grounding resulting from an incident or accident is not required since the grounding is automatic. 14

Aircraft Operations CAPR 60-1 Changes 60-1 Revision Pilot Training (2-8, d): For C182 airplanes, a student pilot must obtain the written permission of their wing or region commander to train in a specific C182 airplane and with a specific flight instructor. Such permission may be granted for multiple flights (including all the flights needed to complete private pilot flight training). Any change of flight instructor or C182 airplane used will require another written permission be obtained by the student. 15

Aircraft Operations CAPR 60-1 Changes 60-1 Revision Glider Operations (2-9): The Region Centers of Excellence (RCOE) program is an optional National program established by the NEC to effectively manage the glider program and aggressively promote and provide more glider orientation flights to our cadets, as well as glider flight training. For those regions that have opted to participate in the program, consult the National Stan/Eval web page for the latest requirements. 16

Aircraft Operations CAPR 60-1 Changes 60-1 Revision Classification of CAP Pilots (3-7, d, 6 & 8): (6) Teacher Orientation Pilots must hold commercial pilot privileges. (8) Satisfactorily receive an Orientation Pilot endorsement, during a CAPF 5, Flight Evaluation, within the preceding 12 calendar months and be appointed in OPS Quals as an ROTC and/or CAP Orientation pilot by the, region or wing commander, or their designee. CAPF 5 17

Aircraft Operations CAPR 60-1 Changes 60-1 Revision Classification of CAP Pilots (3-7, continued): Must be appointed in Ops Qual: - CAP Instructor Pilot - CAP Check Pilot - CAP Check Pilot Examiner - CAP Tow Pilot - CAP Mission Pilot - CAP Mission Pilot Examiner 18

Aircraft Operations CAPR 60-1 Changes 60-1 Revision Pilot Records (3-9, a & b): a. All pilot data must be entered into the CAP OPS Quals system and validated. Data entered shall include all relevant FAA pilot qualifications, CAPFs 5, aircraft questionnaire(s), commander written designations (including electronic approval in eServices) and other items needed to establish CAP aircraft operating privileges under this regulation. A copy of current Pilot and Medical certificates must also be uploaded and maintained in OPS Quals. b. All CAP pilots must “acknowledge” at least once, the CAP Statement of Understanding, by dating the Statement of Understanding paragraph in Operations Qualification. 19

Recent Mishaps – General Overview: Towing aircraft - tail struck hangar door Pushing aircraft - aileron collided with hangar door, elevator pushed into I-beam roof support Hard landings - totaled one aircraft, another with bulkhead damage under repair. Tail strikes – Rudder damage during normal landing, often seen during soft field landing practice. Propeller-tips damaged, taxiing off approved surface or unfamiliar unpaved or worn taxiway locations. Aircraft Operations Safety Concerns 28

Stop, look, verify. Use your crew if necessary, but do not proceed. Aircraft Operations Safety Concerns 29

Ground & Taxi Mishaps National Commander Emphasis Item! CAPR 60-1, paragraph 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. Take precautions to avoid ground and taxi mishaps! Aircraft Operations Safety Concerns 30
