**CAP FLIGHT MANAGEMENT**

CAPR 60-1, 4 November 2001, is supplemented as follows:

**2-1. p. [Added.]{.underline}** For senior members, complete CAP Level
I Orientation before flying in a CAP corporate aircraft as pilot in
command or crewmember. EXCEPTIONS: Transportation of member to attend
Level I training. Former CAP cadets transferring to senior status
provided they have earned the Billy Mitchell Award or higher and have
less than two (2) years membership break prior to assuming senior member
status. Former CAP senior members who have previously completed Level I
Orientation with less than a two (2) year break in membership.

**2-1. q.** **[Added.]{.underline}** Aircraft assignments and moves are
at the direction of the Wing/DO as approved by the Wing/CC.

**2-1. r.** **[Added.]{.underline}** All assigned corporate aircraft
will have an operational Hobbs meter installed.

**2-1. s.** **[Added.]{.underline}** Flights to/from CAPR 50-11 flight
clinics are at the expense of the member(s), unless wing headquarters
has authorized otherwise.

**2-1. t.** **[Added.]{.underline}** Whenever an aircraft is expected to
be down for maintenance for a period exceeding one week, the Wing/DOS
should be notified for resource availability to support REDCAPs.

**2-5. b. [Added to end of paragraph.]{.underline}** Flights to adjacent
state\'s cities of El Paso, TX, Durango, CO, and St. Johns, AZ, are
approved without additional Wing/CC coordination.

**2-7.** **[Added to end of paragraph.]{.underline}** In order to
effectively complete national reporting requirements, monthly wing
aircraft reports will be submitted by each unit assigned corporate
aircraft, powered and glider, and must be received at wing headquarters
by the 10th of the month following the reportable month. A report will
be submitted for each aircraft, regardless of aircraft's status or
flight activity for the reportable month. A copy of each report should
be retained at the unit level. This monthly report will consist of:

a\. NM Wing Form 6, NM Wing Aircraft Financial Report

b\. Copies of NM Wing Form(s) 10, NM Wing Aircraft Flight Log(s)

c\. Copies of all CAPF-99s, CAP Flight Release Log(s)

**2-8.** **[Amend sentence 2 and 3 to read (WAIVER FROM PUBLISHED
DIRECTIVE).]{.underline}** Pilot records need only be maintained at one
location, except check pilots, instructor pilots, mission check pilots,
and orientation pilots will be duplicated at the wing operations office.
Records of wing assigned pilots should be maintained within their
respective assigned flying units, i.e. the unit where individual
regularly flies assigned aircraft.

REASON: New Mexico Wing Headquarters does not have aircraft assigned for
exclusive wing staff usage. All aircraft are assigned units below wing
level. Additionally, there is not a FRO program at the wing level, only
at the unit level where all the aircraft are assigned. Therefore, the
maintaining of PIFs for wing assigned pilots (wing staff) at the wing
level serves no purpose. These records would be best maintained in the
unit were these individuals regularly fly the assigned aircraft. This
will ensure units and their respective FROs have the most current
information available for clearing wing staff personnel who desire to
fly aircraft on CAP activities.

**2-8. l.** **[Added.]{.underline}** Proof of all applicable National
Headquarters on-line course completions such as: cadet orientation pilot
quiz(zes), SFF/CAP tow pilot course, Maule flight crew familiarization
course, etc.

**2-8. m.** **[Added.]{.underline}** Copy of current NM Wing Form 15.

**2-14. c.** **[Amend to read.]{.underline}** A flight log (NM Wing Form
10). All flight sorties will log Hobbs time and Tachometer (Tach) time
if installed.

**2-14. e.** **[Amend to read.]{.underline}** Discrepancies Log (NM Wing
Form 12). Aircraft discrepancies will be logged and remain in aircraft's
information file until discrepancy is corrected by a competent
authority. Aircraft crew chiefs may annotate the NM Wing Form 12 for the
items noted as corrected in the aircraft maintenance logs. Closed forms
will be maintained by the unit for a minimum period of one year for
trend reference.

**2-14. m.** **[Added.]{.underline}** Aircraft control procedure, NM
Wing Form 8.

**2-21. [Added.]{.underline} Conducting Check Rides CAPF 5 and CAPF
91):** CAPF-91 check rides are authorized during all training exercises.
Incident Commanders must grant approval for conducting CAPF-5 check
rides during training exercises. If check ride approval is granted, the
flight time and fuel for the check ride(s) will not be charged to the
on-going mission and will be logged separately from the mission flight
time. This time will be logged as either A7 (if funded) or B17 (if
unfunded) flight time.

**2-22. [Added.]{.underline} Corporate Aircraft Utilization and
Assignments.** All CAP corporate aircraft are expected to fly at the
utilization rate of 200 hours (Hobbs time) per fiscal year
(approximately 16.7 hours per month). The Wing/DO will monitor aircraft
utilization rates and make recommendations to the Wing/CC to balance
fleet utilization.

**2-23. [Added.]{.underline} Check Ride Trend Analysis.** All assigned
wing check pilots (powered and glider) and mission check pilots are
required to maintain check ride statistics and report the statistics on
a semi-annual basis. Data collection periods are 1 January - 30 June and
1 July - 31 December. Reports, including "none conducted", are due to

their: current FAA medical certificate, pilot's license (front and
back), proof of last FAA flight review, and last page of pilot's flight
log book. Subsequent NM Wing Form 15 applications require only a copy of
a current FAA medical certificate. The Aeronautical Identification Card,
"Blue Card", expires with the 3rd class privileges of the FAA medical
certificate the card was issued against and will be annotated with this
expiration date on both front and back of card. The back of the "Blue
Card" is used by check pilots to document initial and annual CAPF-5
aircraft check rides. Additionally, possession of a valid NM Wing
Aeronautical Identification Card, "Blue Card", is required by all
individuals before receiving any check ride in a CAP corporate powered
aircraft.

**3-5. k. T-34 Operations.** **[Added.]{.underline}** Only pilots with

aircraft will be considered for check rides in the T-34. Pilots desiring
a T-34 check ride are required to fly with a T-34 qualified Instructor
Pilot or Check Pilot until the instructor determines the pilot is
capable, safe, and competent. The pilot providing the initial
instruction will not be permitted to perform the CAPF-5 check ride. T-34
qualified pilots who go non-current by FAA standards cannot take a
CAPF-5 check ride until the FAA standard is complied with. T-34
qualified pilots who allow their CAPF-5 to lapse cannot take a check
ride in the T-34 until a full-profile proficiency ride with an
instructor is completed. T-34 qualified pilots who are additionally
qualified in other CAP aircraft must take their annual standardization
CAPF-5 check ride in the T-34 aircraft, unless it is unavailable for an
extended period. T-34 CAPF-5 check ride will only be given by a T-34
qualified check pilot.

CAP and FAA flying regulations will be followed as applicable. No
overhead (military style) traffic patterns are allowed in the T-34 or
any other CAP corporate aircraft.

**3-5. l. [Added.]{.underline}** All Cessna 206 (C-206) check rides must

Maule MT-7-235 will receive at least one (1) hour of dual flight
instruction in aircraft type, from a qualified Wing Instructor Pilot,
