All: Just wanted to pass on this message from Col. Rooney. It sounds to me like more SAREX missions will be flown as USAF reimbursed flying. Also, the Form 5 and Form 91 check rides will be reimbursed, but you have to be a Mission qualified pilot first. To be a Mission pilot, it is not necessary to be a SAR/DR Mission Pilot (MP). As seen in CAPR 60-3, that takes 200 hrs of PIC time at a minimum (175 hrs just to start the training). n. Search and Rescue (SAR)/Disaster Relief (DR) Mission Pilot (MP). 1) Trainee Prerequisites. Satisfy the following to begin training for MP: a) At least 18 years of age. b) Current and qualified CAP pilot in accordance with CAPR 60-1, with at least 175 hours pilot in command time. c) Qualified Transport Mission Pilot. d) Qualified Mission Scanner. e) Qualified GES. 2) Qualified. Complete all requirements listed in the most current version of the Aircrew and Flight Line Task Guide for MP. 14 CAPR 60-3 26 MAY 2004 Note: To become a qualified SAR/DR Mission Pilot, the member must have at least 200 hours pilot in command time including at least 50 hours of cross-country flying. If you are a low time pilot, you can qualify as Transport Mission Pilot: o. Transport Mission Pilot (TMP). Satisfy the following for issuance of a CAPF 101 (a training card shall not be issued for this specialty) (see notes 1 and 2): 1) At least 18 years of age. 2) Current and qualified CAP pilot in accordance with CAPR 60-1, with at least 100 hours pilot in command time including at least 50 hours of cross-country flying. 3) Qualified GES. Note 1: Personnel presently current and qualified as a SAR/DR Mission Pilot are automatically qualified as a TMP. Note 2: On authorized ES missions TMPs can only: . Transport Emergency Services qualified CAP members required for an authorized mission . Ferry aircraft required for an authorized ES mission . Fly "high bird" communications sorties on an authorized ES mission . Current and qualified FAA private pilots may transport parts and equipment owned by CAP or a CAP member to a mission base or staging area . Current and qualified FAA commercial pilots may transport parts and equipment not owned by CAP I would also urge every pilot to separately become Scanner and Observer qualified. p. Mission Observer (MO). 1) Trainee Prerequisites. Satisfy the following to begin training for MO: a) At least 18 years of age. b) Qualified Mission Scanner. c) Qualified GES. 2) Qualified. Complete all requirements listed in the most current version of the Aircrew and Flight Line Task Guide for MO. q. Mission Scanner (MS). 1) Trainee Prerequisites. Satisfy the following to begin training for MS: a) At least 18 years of age. b) Qualified GES. 2) Qualified. Complete all requirements listed in the most current version of the Aircrew and Flight Line Task Guide for MS. On a separate note, I have attached the last wing-wide pilot roster. I count 15 CFIs in the Nebraska Wing. 9 CFIs are in the Omaha/Lincoln area and all are willing to donate some time for flight lessons in the C182 and C182 Nav III (the G1000 equipped C182T, N359CP), their own schedules permitting. I would like to see all the pilots who have the basic qualifications to be a CAP pilot added to the list. The basic qualifications are (from CAPR 60-1): c. CAP Pilot. The following basic requirements must be met to be qualified as a CAP pilot in CAP aircraft: 1) Be an active CAP member at least 17 years of age (16 years of age for CAP glider pilots). 2) Possess a valid FAA private, commercial, or airline transport pilot certificate. 3) Possess a class III or higher medical certificate (not required for gliders). 4) Possess a current flight review IAW FAR 61.56. 5) Satisfactorily complete a CAPF 5 flight check in an aircraft (in an appropriate group) within the preceding 12 months. 6) Complete an annual CAPF 5 written examination and annual aircraft questionnaires (attachments 3 and 4) for each aircraft authorized to fly. Thus, this means getting the hours necessary to qualify to take the Form 5 check ride in N833CP. OCS will keep the pilot records for OFF, OCS and Wing personnel flying out of Millard. Dan O'Mara is already starting folders for all who turned in their CAP Pilot Questionnaire. As a final note, the last question on the CAP Pilot Questionnaire asked "Are you a professional pilot?" Most answered "No". Wrong!!! When it comes to CAP flying, all of us will fly as professionals. You take an attitude with you into the cockpit. Make it a professional attitude. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving. John M.

Most of you know we pay for your form 5's and form 91's IF you are a Mission pilot. Therefore we expect form 5's and form 91 evaluations to take a minimum of 1 and a half hours, and if you are an Instrument Pilot a minimum of 2 hours. Lets make the best use of these funds.
