MEMORANDUM FOR SOUTHEAST REGION CAP WING COMMANDERS

FROM: Southeast Liaison Region Commander

1342 Dobbins Place (Building 727)

Dobbins ARB GA 30069-4710

SUBJECT: Revised Procedures for Air Force Authorized CAP Missions

1\. In the aftermath of the AF authorized CAP missions changes discussed
at the recent winter boards, CAP-USAF has been working hard to finalize
processes for the review and approval of specific AF Authorized CAP
missions. We realize these changes increase the efforts needed to
coordinate the mission requests, and they will create some turmoil while
we work out the changes. We will work closely with you and your staff to
make it work. I do not anticipate the publication of a change to
regulations to cover the changes to the authorization process in the
near future, so I hope you will accept these as the best available
guidelines. Thanks for your patience and support!

2\. The following changes are effective immediately and remain in place
until rescinded by another memorandum or incorporated into CAP and
CAP-USAF regulations or instructions:

a\. [USAF Reimbursable SAR/DR training/evaluation missions and CAPR 60-2
Inspections (A5)]{.underline}*.* In addition to the existing process for
CAPF10's, the State Director (SD) or CAP Reserve Assistance Program
(CAPRAP) Officer must review and approve a written flying schedule prior
to flight. The schedule must include the names of the mission crew and
passengers. The schedule should be prepared using the SELR Mission
Status Form 01, Mar 04 (attached) for any aircraft flying into the
mission base and should be developed in advance of the exercise, and
forwarded to the SD for approval. The IC/Exercise POC is responsible to
ensure the SD has approved the schedule before the mission is executed.
In cases where the SD, Reservist, or Liaison Region Officers are on
scene during the exercise, the schedule can be reviewed and approved by
the CAP-USAF representative as part of the on-going mission planning
activities. This can be accomplished on the SELR Mission Status Form 01
or on a CAP Form 99. It is important to fully appreciate that until the
schedule has been [approved in writing]{.underline}, the mission is not
an AF authorized mission.

b\. [USAF Reimbursable CAP-AFROTC Orientation Flights (A6).]{.underline}
The State Director (SD) must review and approve a written flying
schedule prior to mission being flown. In the absence of the SD,
approval may be given by the SELR/CC/DO or other CAP-USAF
representative. The schedule must include the names of the CAP pilot and
AFROTC cadets. The schedule is to be prepared using the SELR Mission
Status Form 01, Mar 04. The schedule must be developed in advance of the
exercise, and forwarded to the SD for approval. The CAP pilot and Flight
Release Officer (FRO) are responsible for ensuring that the SD or a
Liaison Region officer has approved the schedule before flight. It is
important to fully appreciate that until the schedule has been [approved
in writing]{.underline}, the mission is not an AF authorized mission.

c\. [USAF Reimbursable CAPF 5 and 91 evaluations and National Check
Pilot Standardization Course (NCPSC) (A7).]{.underline} In addition to
the existing process for CAPF10's, the SD must review and approve a
written flying schedule prior to mission being flown. The following
statement should be included in page two of the CAPF10 (scenario);
"Prior to each CAPFs 5/91 evaluation flight, a flying schedule will be
approved by the SD". The schedule must include the names of the crew and
check pilot and type of check. The schedule is to be prepared using the
SELR Mission Status Form 01, Mar 04. The schedule should be developed in
advance of the mission, and forwarded to the SD for approval. The check
pilot and FRO are responsible for ensuring that the SD or a Liaison
Region officer has approved the schedule before flight. It is important
to fully appreciate that until the schedule has been [approved in
writing]{.underline}, the mission is not an AF authorized mission.

d\. [USAF Non-Reimbursable mission, mission pilot proficiency flights
and SAR/DR training and CAPF's 5/91 evaluation, NCPSC and flight clinics
not flown under and AF mission number (B-12 or B17)]{.underline}. The SD
must review and approve a written flying schedule and training objective
prior to mission being flown. The schedule must include the names of the
crew and check pilot. The schedule is to be prepared using the SELR
Mission Status Form 01, Mar 04. The schedule should be developed in
advance of the mission, and forwarded to the SD for approval. The PIC,
check pilot, and FRO are responsible for ensuring that the SD or a
Liaison Region officer has approved the schedule before flight. It is
important to fully appreciate that until the schedule has been [approved
in writing]{.underline}, the mission is not an AF authorized mission.

3\. Each AF authorized mission must utilize an established syllabus or
training guide. All missions must be accomplished in accordance with
established CAP regulations and Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs)
