All: Just a couple of notes: 1. Please bring your log books on Friday (in case of any questions about flight hours) and Saturday/Sunday (for a sign-off by the CFI). 2. A pilot questionnaire is attached. Please complete and bring to class on Friday. 3. Please bring a copy of your CAP membership card, your FAA license and your medical to class on Friday. 4. The outlook for Saturday and Sunday is VFR and light winds. 5. The flying will be out of Millard. One CFI with two C182 candidates. Each identified sortie will actually be two (sub)sorties (a sortie is engine start to engine shutdown). Maneuvers will be performed in the West Practice Area, with radar service from TRACON (VFR Flight Following from the Omaha Approach controllers). If the West Practice Area is saturated with trainers out of MLE and OFF, we'll continue on to North of SCB. Pilot switches can be made at AHQ, FET, and SCB. 6. If possible, refuel at FET (good time to switch pilots too) as part of each identified sortie. The last sortie on Saturday and Sunday will refuel at FET just prior to returning to MLE. 6. Each sortie team will meet at Hangar F14, the current home of N833CP (CAP Flight 2633). Ask for the lock combo on Friday. If you don't have a key to get through the fence, we'll arrange for someone to let you in. Show up at least 15 minutes before your sortie start time. 7. SAFETY FIRST! At all times, we'll be proactive about safety - on the ground and in the air. 8. Enjoy the flying. The Cessna 182 Skylane is a High Performance airplane (see FAR 61.31 (f)). It is not a complex airplane (see FAR 61.31 (e)) because it has a fixed gear. It does have a constant speed propeller. IAW CAPR 60-1, Para. 3-3, a, 3), being PIC on the C182 requires a minimum of 100 hrs PIC time, with at least 10 hrs of PIC time and 25 landings in high performance aircraft. IAW NEWG C-182 Training Program, the minimum training requirements are as follows: <200 hrs total PIC time and no high performance time: 10 hrs dual >200 hrs total PIC time and no high performance or complex time: 5 hrs dual <400 hrs total PIC time with high performance or complex time: 5 hrs dual >400 hrs total PIC time with high performance or complex time: 2 hrs dual Of course, after meeting the training requirement, a successful Form 5 check ride must be accomplished. Successful completion of the Form 5 check ride also allows the CFI to make a High Performance endorsement in your logbook if needed. This week-end will allow one or two pilots to complete their training requirements. For most, additional training will be required. I encourage each of you to arrange to complete such training with a CAP instructor pilot. Bob Todd, Phil Jossi, Ward Shires, Skip Hove, Fred Meier, Sam Greenfield, Bob Hillyer, Butch Rohren and I - all CFIs in the Omaha/Lincoln area will be happy to accommodate you on a schedule permitting basis (see attached Pilot Roster for CFIs). There is no cost for the training as the CFIs volunteer their time. Unless the training is part of a USAF sponsored mission, the cost for the airplane is $85.00 per hour, wet. You, as the student, will be billed. Compared to paying $190.00 per hour for commercial training in a C182T, it's a heck of a benefit. 9. See you at OCS tomorrow at 1830 hrs. JOHN MITCHELL HEIDA, LT.
