1 Civil Air Patrol National Flight Academy Powered Training Course Outline

2 CIVIL AIR PATROL United States Air Force Auxiliary 105 South Hansell Street / Building 714 Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama January 2015 MEMORANDUM FOR ALL CAP MEMBERS FROM: National Cadet Team SUBJECT: Powered Flight Curriculum 1. Thank you for your interest in the powered flight program for cadets. The first 15 pages of this document are the standardized curriculum for powered flight in CAP. After that, we have attached a planning document for a flight academy. This might give first time academies some help in designing and scheduling a flight academy. 2. Other tips that can help a first time activity include: a. Start coordinate on aircraft about a year in advance to ensure you ll have enough for your activity. b. Talk to the region DO's for suggestions on CFIs. c. Make sure to work with the local FBO well before your event occurs. You can try to contract for prices a few months out, but that might not be available, other things can be a discount per gallon or waiving fees (tie downs, etc). d. Have different training areas to separate the cadets. Such as MER that has 12 Training Areas, one for each aircraft, and nicely spread out where we have 8 airports that service those areas. They normally have the cadets swap seats at these outlying areas, have a break to debrief. They also normally do some of their landing practice there before returning on their second sortie. e. MER also suggests that you have a flight schedule right after breakfast, academics after lunch (in place), have an early dinner and a second flight schedule after dinner. Each flight schedule will have two sorties for each aircraft. Each of the 12 CFI's has two cadets (that is 24 cadets) so each cadet gets two left seat flights and two rear seat flights each day. f. When it comes to WMIRS, MER doe the following: For each flight schedule a CFI will sign out on a form 99 for each of the two sorties and all flight data in provided to include training area. Those sorties are approved in WMIRS before taxi/takeoff. The form 99 is pre-printed for each CFI for each flight schedule. A student form is also made available for each sortie to enter hobbs, tach, fuel, landings and turned in when they return and sign in on the form 99. The student form is cross checked against the form 99 and data is entered in WMIRS. Steven J. Trupp Cadet Programs Program Manager

4 CADET FLIGHT ACADEMY TRAINING STANDARDIZATION 1) Transfer of control of the aircraft must be explained to the student before every flight. The procedure will be a challenge/response technique. The instructor will challenge with the phrase, I have the flight controls and the student responds you have the flight control. The instructor then says I have the flight controls. 2) The student must sit high enough to have good visibility over the nose of the aircraft. This is approximately high enough to just see the top of the engine cowling from the normal, seated position. Use a cushion if necessary. The student should be sitting forward enough to make full rudder pedal deflections, but not so far forward that full aft movement of the control wheel is inhibited. Be sure that the student's seat is adjusted to the same position for each flight. 3) Explain that the rudder control is the bottom of the rudder pedal, and brakes are at the top. Heels should normally rest on the floor unless braking is desired. Ensure that the student understands that the brakes and the rudder are completely separate and independent controls. 4) Stress dividing attention from the very first flight -- check wingtip to determine pitch and bank angle, look for traffic, check pitch attitude over the nose of the aircraft, check airspeed, etc. Reiterate dividing attention during all maneuvers. 5) Insist on a continuous scan for traffic from the very first flight. 6) Perform clearing turns before EVERY practice maneuver -- stalls, steep turns, MCA, and ground reference maneuvers. Clearing turns consist of at least 180 degrees of turn (one 180, or two 90 degree turns in opposite directions) at standard rate, but no steeper than 30 degrees of bank. 7) Student should be taught to keep one hand on the throttle during all ground operations, takeoff, climb out, and all operations at low altitude. 8) Be sure the student uses a constant reference for determining pitch attitude. Putting a fist, thumb up, on top of the instrument panel works well for determining level flight attitude -- student can count how many fingers the horizon is above the panel. Different methods will work for different students, but the method chosen should be used consistently. 9) The student must know and demonstrate the correct pitch, power, and flap settings for all maneuvers without reference to the airspeed indicator. 10) During level-off from a climb, leave full power on until the desired cruise speed is reached. Trim should be used to relieve pressure on the control wheel as the aircraft accelerates. This gets the aircraft up to cruise speed quickly and minimizes level-off time, and trim and power adjustments. Teach "Pitch, Power, Trim" for all changes between level flight and climb or descents. ie: set the pitch attitude first, then when desired airspeed is reached, set the power, and finally, trim the airplane for that speed. 11) Use 65% power as the cruise power setting for local area practice. This will save fuel, require less area for accomplishing the maneuvers, and allows for quicker transition from one maneuver to another. 1

5 12) Insist the student use one hand on the control wheel for all maneuvers, including landing. Ensure the student uses a light grip on the wheel. Do not teach the student to trim the airplane into the landing flare. Excessive up-elevator trim, combined with lowered flaps can cause a violent pitch up movement during a go-around attempt. 13) Monitor the student's control coordination closely, and correct whenever necessary. 14) Back elevator pressure must be added in all turns, including descending turns. Errors show up in the traffic pattern as too high an airspeed at the completion of the turns. 15) Constantly monitor climbs, MCA, and power-on/off stalls for proper right rudder inputs. 16) Use V y and full power for all climbs, and monitor pitch attitude closely. 17) Introduce stalls during minimum controllable airspeed flight by allowing the wing to "nibble" at the stall as a result of excessive pitch. This will result in a gentle stall, with little break, and an easy recovery to MCA flight. That should be followed with a series of gliding stalls that are recovered without power. Then minimum altitude loss techniques are taught through power-on recoveries. 18) From power-off stalls, proceed into teaching approach/landing stalls. Teach "Release back pressure, Power up, Pitch up, Flaps up" for recovery. Recoveries from both imminent and fully stalled conditions should be taught for all stalls. 19) Student should understand that, for a given airspeed, the pitch attitude must be lower with flaps than without flaps. This is because flaps increase the angle of attack even though pitch remains the same. 20) Before beginning serious practice in the traffic pattern, the student should master the rectangular course ground reference maneuver, and be able to maintain a straight track over the ground using both crab and side-slip techniques. 21) Teach the student to use an "aim point" to judge the angle of the final approach. If the aim point appears to be moving up in the windshield, you will land short. (If the point appears to move down, you will overshoot. Emphasize that this technique requires accurate pitch control to work with any kind of consistency. 22) Teach the student to go-around if the result of the approach is ever in any doubt. This can be reinforced if you, as the instructor, initiate a go-around during a demonstrated landing. 23) Ensure that the student considers any crosswind component into the planning of the traffic pattern, especially the turn from base leg to final. Emphasize that increasing the turn's bank angle, or trying to "rudder" the aircraft around the turn to correct for an overshoot of the final approach course is dangerous. 24) Teach the landing as a two-step process: 1.The round-out and 2.The flare. Round-out is when the aircraft's pitch is increased and the rate of descent is arrested. Flare is when the aircraft's pitch is further increased to the landing attitude. In a well executed approach and landing, these two steps occur as one continuous motion. Discourage "feeling" for the runway with alternate raising and lowering of the nose. Once the pitch attitude is increased in the roundout or flare it should not be lowered again. If the level-off is made too high, a go-around is usually called for. No attempt should be made to salvage a bad landing with power. 2

6 25) If a landing cannot be made in the first third of the runway, or in the middle third laterally, a go- around should be initiated. 26) After landing, the student should be taught to hold the elevator back pressure, and let the nose wheel lower itself to the runway as the aircraft slows. Student should be sensitive to directional control during the roll-out. 27) When practicing touch-and-goes, do not initiate the "go" until the nose wheel is on the runway, and the flaps are retracted to the takeoff position. This will help prevent loss of directional control and full-flap takeoffs. If the runway is too short to do this safely, then the runway is TOO Short. 28) Teach the student to avoid excessive braking during the roll-out. Remember: The only turn-off you HAVE to make is the LAST turn-off. 29) Teach only the side-slip method for crosswind landings. The "crab/kick" method requires the student to make a perfectly-timed, abrupt control movement when their attention is focused on the last few inches of altitude. Should the student "balloon," he/she will be left high in the air, with low speed and drifting away from the runway. The side-slip method establishes the proper drift correction well out on the final approach, and requires little adjustment throughout the landing. 30) Students fatigue easily with concentrated takeoff and landing practice. Continued work in the traffic pattern, hour after hour is an indication that the basics of flying the aircraft have not been mastered. It is much better to delay concentrated pattern work until the air work and ground reference maneuvers are acceptable than to rush into takeoffs and landings, hoping that things will smooth out in the pattern. They will usually get worse. Students who have mastered the air work and ground reference maneuvers, and who can fly all the maneuvers using outside attitude references require surprisingly little practice in the pattern to learn proper landing technique. 31) The flight instructor will bring to the attention of the Chief Flight Instructor, information regarding students who are having greater than normal difficulties with training, as soon as possible. Typical problems such as students prone to airsickness, or a student requiring evaluation by a different instructor, can be easier to deal with early in the program rather than near the end of the encampment. 32) As in all other CAP activities: SAFETY IS OUR #1 GOAL!! 3

18 MIDDLE EAST REGION CADET FLIGHT ACADEMY (MER-CFA) (Example for Information Purposes) CONTINUITY PLAN 1. Introduction This plan outlines the detailed steps to take to successfully plan, prepare for, and conduct the Civil Air Patrol Cadet Special Activity, CADET FIGHT ACADEMY, to be called MER- CFA throughout this document. Where indicated, the different letters and presentations will be identified by a specific file name, such as See FILE 1. The files will be located on a memory stick. CFA-NFA follows a standardized scheduled every year, and is designed to provide a fun and exciting learning environment for the cadets, and provide them with 10 hours of flight and associated ground instructions. The schedule typically is as follow: Thursday/Friday arrival for selected staff members and some aircraft; Saturday, NLT 1200 EDT, arrival of remaining aircraft, cadets and staff. Saturday, 1300 hours is a briefing for staff and 1500 hours in briefing for cadets and staff. In briefings will include Introductions, schedule, Safety, ORM, and rules. Sunday through Friday are flying days as scheduled. Second Saturday is clean up and graduation preparation. All aircraft and vehicles will be washed and readied to return to the respective wings. Sunday at 0800 hours is breakfast and graduation. Departures for personnel and aircraft will begin NLT noon. 2. Assumptions. The following are assumptions with regard to planning and conducting MER-CFA: a. MER-CFA will be conducted at Blackstone AAF, Blackstone Virginia. b. Arrival point will be building T-49, Blackstone AAF (Allan C. Glen Perkinson Airfield). c. Male cadets will be billeted in the SEAL s Compound or barracks depending on availability and females and officers will be billeted in the VOQ on base. d. Dining requirements will be contracted with Ida s Kitchen on base. e. CAP NHQ will be requested to provide at least 12 aviation headsets. National Capital Wing will be requested to provide the class room AV equipment, two laptops w/printer, and an antenna and base CAP radio. f. MER-CFA will provide for a wireless and wired connection within T-49 to have internet access to WMIRS, e-services, and . g. MER will be requested to provide 13 C-172 aircraft and 5 vehicles. 3. Actions to take:

19 365 days out: As soon as the current year s MER-CFA ends, an on-line request will be submitted to Range Operations and Plans office for the following MER-CFA Activity. The Billeting office, Seal s Office, Local Reuse Authority (LRA) for the Officer Club and Blackstone City Manager will also be contacted to make arrangements for the next year s MER-CFA. September or when asked: Tell CAP NHQ Cadet Programs the dates of the next year s MER-CFA which for 2015 will be 27 June -5 July Tell NHQ the numbers of basic cadets, cadet staff, and senior staff you would like set in the system for the next year s MER-CFA. Typically, the numbers will be: o 24 Basic Cadets o 1 Cadet Staff o 10 Senior Staff o 13 Flight Instructors October or when asked: Update the MER-CFA description on the NCSA home page. This is the description cadets read when deciding to apply for a NCSA Activity. January/February: Monitor Event Administration reports in e-services for the status of cadet applications for MER-CFA. Submit the projected MER-CFA budget to NHQ Finance/MER/FM. See FILE 1. March: Watch for your Primary list to come out. Prepare a notification for your list of Primaries. This should outline to the cadets that they have been selected as a Primary cadet to attend MER-CFA, and to closely read the attached letter. Letter should include information about spending money for extracurricular events and souvenirs, should they wish to participate/purchase. Build an list for Primary cadet and parent/guardian addresses. Update Primary Letter 1, attach and send to the Primary cadets. See FILE 2.

20 Primary Letter 1 should address: whether the cadet plans on attending MER- CFA, how and when to pay the activity fee, and some details about the Activity. If Primary cadets do not reply within a week, call and notify them of their selection and ask for a good address to be used for further contact. Update and send to MER/CC a request for support. See FILE 3. o This request will be for 13 C-172 aircraft and the use of three 12 passenger and two mini vans or some mix with that capability. If Primary cadets notify you they will not be attending MER-NFA, start calling alternates. There is an alternates list to use in e-services, NCSA. Prepare an , similar to the Primary , and attach and send the MER-CFA alternate a second Primary Letter updating the time schedule due to the late assignment. See FILE 2. Select the Cadet and Senior Staff and update e-services. Typically, for MER- CFA, we try to get as many of the same senior staff from year to year. The staff should be familiar with flight operation and aircraft handling and must be able to enter data into WMIRS. In addition, there should be at least two female senior officers as staff. One female can be a ground or flight instructor as backup to stay with female cadets. All senior officers need to have CAP Driver s Licenses. Sent all staff members an acceptance/activity instruction letter. See FILE 4. Monitor payment status of Primary cadets. Once the cadet T-shirt sizes have been obtained, contact Vanguard thru NGQ- CP with a proposed order. The MER-CFA logo for the shirts, which will need to be updated with the current year. A color will need to be selected. Typically, two T-shirts for each cadet are ordered and one polo shirt per staff, two if new on staff. If Vanguard is used all academies will use the same color. Order aviation information packets (one for each cadet, 24) from National Headquarters, they have the full set except for changes that may be added. Duo-Copies are a backup for this information and they also have the information. Check the number of aircraft checklist remaining from last year and begin making them to ensure you have 24. This is an in house project, but National Headquarters made them for and can do this for us. Order 24 Student Pilot Handbooks (Flight Time Publishing, FTP-SPH-2) through NHQs. They order them for all NFAs. Gleim Private Pilot Syllabus packet is the backup for this. Order Gleim log books (the number of log books are based on the number of cadets say they don t have one in their initial reply verses the number left over from last year). NAFI instructors and reorders from Gleim Publications will get a 40% discount. In we used the Student Handbook from Flight time Publishers and were ordered as a

21 group for all NFA s. NHQ has a vanilla syllabus, but it is not as good and useless for the cadet should they decide to continue on to a private license. APRIL: Continue to monitor payment status of Primary cadets. Continue to select Alternate cadets as Primary cadets drop out. Check with MER Wings to ensure you have a good POC and that they have the Aircraft and Vans reserved on the Wing schedule. Verify with Blackstone Billeting Office, Blackstone City Manager and Local Reuse Authority to ensure they still have the MER-CFA group reservations for the Blackstone Officers Club. Provide NHQ/MER Finance the information they will need for the CAP Corporate Credit Card. Enter sorties in WMIRS for ferry aircraft and training sorties. o Contact the NOC and let them know of the WMIRS request number so they can code the mission as an NHQ NCSA mission (keeps an individual wing s funds from being encumbered accidentally). MAY: Continue to monitor payment status of Primary cadets. Continue to select Alternate cadets as Primary cadets drop out. As Alternate cadets are selected, remember to attach and send the Alternate the Primary acceptance letter. Update and send to all Primary Cadets Primary Letter 2. See FILE 5.. o This letter describes more about what the cadets will be doing at MER- CFA, contains a packing list, an arrival form which details arrival information, and has the AD contact info. Contact NHQ Cadet Programs and request an Alternate Uniform Approval Letter for MER-CFA. An alternate uniform is usually authorized for cadets and staff each year because of the hot summer weather. The uniform is typically the Activity T-shirt, khaki shorts, and athletic footwear. See FILE 6. The new CAPR 39-1 may take care of this. Prepare the Base Access Letter. See FILE 7. Contact MER Liaison Office, and ask him to prepare a Military Support Authorization (MSA) for the Activity. Attach a list of all attendees and CAPIDs. FILE 8.
