18.  2-2. Operation Limits. a. A FAA flight plan must be filed and activated for every flight of a CAP aircraft beyond 50 nautical miles distance from point of origin. Those flights that are part of a supervised mission may be exempted from this requirement by the mission incident commander (IC) contingent upon alternate flight following procedures (see paragraph 2-5e). (1) Flight Plans. Use the three-letter, three-/four- digit call sign “CAP ####” in the Aircraft Identification block in FAA flight plans in lieu of the aircraft registration “N” number. Include the aircraft tail number in the Remarks section of the flight plan. 18 Aircraft Operations CAPR 60-1 Changes

19.  2-3. Passenger Requirements. …Non-CAP passengers require advance approval through the CAP NOC from NHQ/DO for corporate missions, CAP- USAF LR for AF training missions, or the approval authority for other AFAMs (example CAP NOC/AFNORTH/CAP-USAF CC). Prior to requesting approval for non- CAP passengers, consult the CAP-USAF “Required Information for Non-CAP Passenger Requests” memorandum for record located on the National Aircraft Ops & Stan/Eval web page... 19 Aircraft Operations CAPR 60-1 Changes

26.  3-6. Airplane Qualifications. (4) G1000 Equipped Airplanes. CAP uses the CAP in-house G1000 transition syllabus to train members... (a)For members with no previous G1000 experience by completing the CAP in-house G1000 transition syllabus for VFR operations. (e) There will be a 180 day grace period from the date of this regulation during which all Cessna factory trained G1000 instructor/check pilots must complete the CAP G1000 Instructor Course (ground school only). After that time, the CAP G1000 transition syllabus will be the primary training course for CAP pilots. (f) Members who have previously completed the Cessna factory course or any other course in accordance with paragraph 3- 6a4(c), above, and are currently G1000 qualified will not be required to take this course, but are encouraged to do so as continuing education. 26 Aircraft Operations CAPR 60-1 Changes
