Mission Observer Proficiency Program

Welcome to the Washington Wing Civil Air Patrol Mission Observer
Proficiency Program. This unit level course is designed to assist you,
the CAP Mission Observer in maintaining your valuable flight skills.
This course was designed after taking into account many different
opinions from you the CAP Mission Observer in the field at the Squadron
Level. In a recent survey all respondents agreed on the need for greater
proficiency. This course is a direct result of your feedback to wing HQ
and reflects the need for a standardized training with in the wing.
Civil Air Patrol Aircrew must have standardized knowledge and skills to
safely and effectively perform their duties aboard CAP aircraft. This is
especially true while conducting operations in mountainous terrain here
in the Pacific Northwest. As a Mission Observer, you are vital not only
to the success of the aircrew on a specific sortie, but to the success
of the mission. This is a responsibility to be taken seriously. It is
your Aeronautical Rating, own it, your life and the lives of others
depend on it.

#### Course Participation

1.  Enrollment in the Mission Observer Proficiency Course is voluntary.
    Completing the course is *[not]{.underline}* required to maintain
    your rating.

2.  Although intended for non-pilot Mission Observers the program is
    open to any currently qualified Mission Observer in the wing. It is
    not open to trainee's.

#### 

#### Course Completion Standards

1.  **Satisfactory completion of the course workbook.** The workbook
    must be completed and mailed to WA Wing HQ attn: DOV-O.

2.  Satisfactory completion of the WAWGForm91AC Checkride as
    administered by a WA Wing Check Observer or Mission Check Pilot. A
    copy of the completed WAWGForm91AC must be mailed to WA Wing HQ
    attn: DOV-O

**Mission Observers completing the above will receive a Certificate of
Achievement signed by the wing CC recognizing their proficiency.**

**Program Overview**

The program has four phases -- Participation is voluntary, completion is
at individual pace. \*Note: There is no start or stop time. This is a
self paced unit level program.

> **Phase I:** Mission Observer Refresher Power Point slide show
>
> **Phase II:** Course Workbook and Self Study -- Completed at own pace.
>
> **Phase III:** Flight Training -- Suggested Sortie profiles are
> included. The sorties are designed to prepare the Mission Observer who
> has not flown regain their proficiency in the cockpit. Mission
> Observers may fly the sorties that cover the areas that they feel they
> need work on. The sorties are in a suggested order but may be flown in
> any order desired. Not all of the sorties have to be flown.
>
> **Phase IV:** Optional Proficiency Checkride consisting of the
> WAWGForm91AirCrew. This checkride may be taken at anytime during the
> program. Phase III is not required to take the checkride, although
> completion of the flights will adequately prepare a Mission Observer
> for the checkride. The checkride must be administered by either a Wing
> Check Observer or a Wing Mission Check Pilot.

**Standards of Completion:** This is a voluntary program, which Mission
Observers may

start and finish at their own pace. Successfully passing the checkride
and completing the

workbook demonstrates a high level of both mission proficiency and
mission readiness.

It also demonstrates an uncommon dedication to the WA Wing Mission
Aircrew

Program. Members who complete the workbook and pass the checkride will
receive a

Certificate of Achievement signed by the wing commander.

If a Mission Observer fails the checkride they lose nothing, but will
leave with a greater

understanding of areas that they can focus their future individual study
as a Mission

Observer. The checkride may be taken again at a later time. A minimum of
one week

must elapse between checkrides. If a Mission Observer passes the
checkride they will

not only gain the Certificate of Achievement but more importantly they
will have

confidence in their own skills in the cockpit as part of a CAP Flight
crew.

Mission Observers may elect not to take the checkride and still use the
program to focus

their personal study to improve cockpit proficiency.

Mission Observers who elect to do the entire program and successfully
complete the

proficiency program should mail the completed workbook and a copy of the

WAWGForm91AC signed and endorsed by Check Observer or Mission Check
Pilot

(whomever administered the checkride) as well as the Mission Pilot.
Packets should be

mailed to:

Chapter IV

Mission Observer Proficiency Program Flight Training

The most critical piece of proficiency is hands on flight experience.
These proficiency flights are designed to assist the Mission Observer in
maintaining their proficiency. The following flight profiles may be
flown in any order, or omitted if the Mission Observer feels they are
proficient in one area. The amounts of time listed under the "Hours"
column are suggested lengths of time needed to cover the subjects.

**Flight Type Hours**

-   Cockpit Refresher: *(It is recommended to do this on the ramp
    without flying as needed)*

    -   CAP Pilot or experienced Mission Observer re-orients Mission
        Observer to mission equipment (DF, GPS, VOR, ADF, DME, Comm.
        Panel, )

-   Flight #1 GPS Flight: 1.0

    -   Program Direct to Airport/VOR

    -   Program user waypoint

    -   Utilize SAR Map Page

    -   Utilize SAR Waypoints

    -   Program Search patterns

-   Flight #2 VOR/ADF/DME Flight: 1.0

    -   Tune/ID Nav-aid

    -   Position determination via Nav-aid

    -   Homing/Tracking

    -   VOR Creeping Line Techniques

    -   \*Note: Do not use GPS for this flight

-   Flight #3 Practice ELT Flight: (Day or Night) 1.0

    -   DF -- L-Tronics or Becker

    -   Wing Null

-   Flight #4 Visual Search Pattern Flight: 1.0

    -   ID Grid Boundary's Visually

    -   Parallel Line Pattern

    -   Point Searches

        -   Expanding Square *or*

        -   Sector

    -   Contour Search Pattern

    -   \*Note: Flight crew does not have to fly complete patterns. Only
        enough of each pattern to re-familiarize the Mission Observer
        with how the search patterns are flown, monitored and tracked.
        Only search patterns needing to be worked for currency or
        re-familiarization are to be flown. This is at Mission Observer
        discretion.

-   Flight #5WAWGForm91AC Checkride Normally takes 1.5 hours

> \*Note: Mission Observers who complete the workbook [and]{.underline}
> the checkride will receive a Certificate of Achievement from the wing
> commander acknowledging their accomplishment. The checkride may be
> challenged at anytime during the program. The Mission Observer does
> not have to fly all of the proficiency sorties to take the checkride.
> You may fly any or all of the proficiency sorties at your discretion.
> A wing Check Observer or a Wing Mission Pilot Check Pilot may
> administer the checkride. The checkride or the proficiency sorties may
> be conducted as a part of a SAREX or as an outside sortie under a B12
> or C17 mission number.

Instructions for Completing the Checkride

The Check Observer will announce to the applicant that the Checkride is
beginning. Once started the Checkride may not be stopped and started
later. All tasks must receive a "S", "U", or "V." If any tasks receive a
"U" it indicates failure to meet standards and results in an
unsatisfactory Checkride. Retraining may occur and the checkride retaken
at a later date. The original F91AC will be given to the applicant and a
copy forwarded to wing HQ to the DOV-O (Standardization Evaluation-for
non-pilots).
