Continued Glider Program goals in priority order: 1.Cadet Orientation Flights 2.Cadet Flight Academies 3.Other flight training for cadets 4.Proficiency and flight evaluations for senior members supporting cadet orientation flights and flight training 5.Other senior member flight training Measure and track critical areas and total flying 50% #1, 25% #2 & #3, 25% All Other Glider Ops Glider Summit 2014 Results

Determined that the availability of Glider Orientation Ride Pilots is adversely and unnecessarily impacted by the current CAPR 60-1 requirement for gliders pilots to have “100 flights as PIC or be a qualified CFIG” as previously stated in paragraph 3-7, d. (page 19). Approved by CAP National/CC and implemented on 19 Dec 14. CAPR 60-1, 3-7, d. (page 19) should be modified, via a page insert, to reflect the following recommended change: (4) For gliders have 100 flights as PIC or be a hold at least a FAA commercial glider certificate qualified CFIG. 19 Glider Summit 2014 Results

20 Determined that excessively rigid tow pilot trainer requirements, of the 100 tow min, adversely and unnecessarily impacted instruction and participation in the CAP Glider Program. Approved by CAP National/CC and implemented on 11 May 15. (GPPM, Page 19, top paragraph, 2nd sentence) Tow pilot trainers will have a minimum of tows of experience, be FAA tow current within the past 12 months, and be designated by the wing or higher commander in Ops Quals. Glider Summit 2014 Results

21 Confirmed that various procedural operations were being utilized during winch tow operations across the country in the CAP Glider Program. Determined that efficiency and interoperability can be enhanced in the CAP Glider Program with standardized winch tow procedures and operations. In Development Now: standardized winch tow procedures and operations procedures guide. Glider Summit 2014 Results

The glider team is continuously reviewing the Glider Program Procedures for improvements. Worked with the leadership team to determine how best to deliver the message; accomplished in a procedures manual. Retained the value of a consolidated document and ensured practical requirements. Made clear what is regulatory vs. optional. Glider Summit 2014 Results

Re-assigning & re-furbishing resources that are not properly or fully utilized. Plans for a sustained fleet. Refurbish Schweizer 2-33s & 2-22E over time. Complete refurbishment is estimated to cost $30K. Plan would be to identify one glider annually into refurbishment. Considering procurement of used 2-33s that could be refurbishment. Glider Summit 2014 Results

Exploring ways to expand the winch program. Must document the current qualified personnel it was clear that many are not properly qualified in Ops Qualified. Use the history built over the last year to request approval to do re-current training for winch operators as AFAMs. Plan for 6 to 8 personnel qualified as winch operators for each winch. Develop consistent procedures for all three current CAP winch operations – don’t expand program until all are in sync. Glider Summit 2014 Results
