Getting Ready for Your CAPF-5 This document addresses what needs to be done to prepare for a CAPF-5 check ride as well as what needs to be done in eServices subsequent to your CAPF-5 check ride. It focuses primarily on the CAPF-5A (airplane) but portions of it also treat the CAPF-5G (glider). When scheduling a CAPF-5A, you must schedule it through the NJWG/DO and the NJWG/DOV. If this is your first CAPF-5 in a particular make/model, e.g. Cessna 172 or Cessna 182, you must get a referral from the instructor pilot who gave you the transition training (Cessna 182) or the CAPF-5 preparation training (Cessna 172). Per CAPR 60-1, CAP Flight Management, the CAP instructor pilot who gave you the transition training or the CAPF-5 preparation training, cannot also administer your CAPF-5 check ride. Written approval is required from the wing or higher commander for a CAP pilot to complete more than two annual CAPF 5 flight checks in a row with the same check pilot. Send your request to the NJWG/DOV, along with a justification for why it is necessary to do more than two consecutive CAPF-5 check rides with the same check pilot. The NJWG/DOV will forward your request to NJWG/CC along with a recommendation pro or con. There are new forms for both the CAPF-5 Check Ride and the Aircraft Questionnaires. Per CAP NHQ, previous editions of these forms will not be used. CAP Check Pilots giving CAPF-5 check rides and CAP Instructor Pilots providing CAPF-5 preparation training, as well as the CAPF-5 candidates themselves, will make sure that the current forms are used. NJWJ/DOV will not validate any CAPF-5 checks rides that use the previous edition forms. These forms are listed below:

• CAP Form 5, 1 JUL 15 – CAP Pilot Flight Evaluation – Airplane/Glider • CAPF 5Q – Airplane, APR 14 – Airplane Questionnaire • CAPF 5Q – Glider, APR 14 – Glider Questionnaire

Overview of CAPR 60-1 Effective 19 DEC 2014 - Summary of Changes CAP NHQ issued a new version of CAPR 60-1, change 1, effective 19 DEC 2014. An overview of the changes is listed below. All CAP pilots must read this new CAPR 60-1. All CAP pilots are strongly encouraged to review applicable sections prior to each flight as well as to carry a copy of it with them. Pilots with EFBs are encouraged to download a copy to their EFB. For example, pilots with Apple iPads could install the free app named “iBooks,” if they have not already done so and then save CAPR 60-1 to iBooks. This change does the following:

• Clarifies wind limitation waiver information. • Refines ground handling training requirements. • Removes the requirement for the pilot in command to ensure all navigational data bases are current prior to

flight into IMC. • Clarifies Air Force approved mission pilot proficiency flight profiles. • Adjusts annual CAPF 5 online examination requirements.

• Flying CAP aircraft is a privilege, not a right of membership. All members have the responsibility for

flying safety and compliance with this regulation. (CAPR 60-1, 3 MAY 2014, page 1, paragraph 2)

highlighted below reflects CAPR 60-1, 3 MAY 2014 and CAPR 60-1, Change 1, 19 DEC 2014. Do not takeoff, land, or taxi if the wind velocity exceeds 30 knots (35 miles per hour (mph)). This speed restriction is reduced to 25 knots (29 mph) when operating on a wet runway and 15 knots (17 mph) when operating on ice or snowpacked surfaces (exception: aircraft equipped with skis for operation on snow and ice). Do not takeoff or land if the crosswind component exceeds the aircraft manufacturer's maximum demonstrated crosswind velocity or 20 knots (23 mph), whichever is less. Include maximum reported gust when determining wind velocity. Waivers to the wind restrictions identified in this paragraph may be granted by the wing commander or designee. Blanket waivers for more than one event/mission are not permitted. Under no circumstances will aircraft be operated beyond the manufacturer's demonstrated wind limitations. (1) Details pertaining to each waiver will be sent via email to the associated region

commander and the CAP National Operations Center (NOC) at [email protected] prior to takeoff and will include the following:

• (a) Justification • (b) Risk mitigation measures • (c) Reasons alternatives are not possible • (d) Current and projected wind conditions • (e) Maximum wind speeds that the waiver allows for • (f) Time parameters (start and stop times of which the waiver is effective)

(2) Initial solo student pilots shall not fly when the actual or forecast crosswind component for takeoff or landing exceeds 10 knots (12 mph).

(3) Initial solo student pilots shall not fly when the actual or forecast surface winds exceed 20 knots (23 mph).

(4) Solo student pilot wind limitations will not be waived.

o r. Biennially (every second year) the Aircraft Ground Handling Video will be reviewed and its associated test will be accomplished by all CAP members who perform duties in the vicinity of CAP aircraft to include, but are not limited to, the following CAP duties: Unit commanders, aircrew members (CAP Pilots, Mission Scanners, Sensor Operators, etc), mission staff supervising or actively engaged in aircraft operations (Incident Commanders, Operations Section Chiefs, Air Operations Branch Directors, Flight Line Supervisors and Marshallers, Mission Safety Officers, etc). Only CAP personnel that have current Aircraft Ground Handling Training may be authorized to move or supervise moving aircraft when necessary. Aircraft Ground Handling Training may be taken any time during a given year and is located on the National Aircraft Ops & Stan/Eval webpage at http://www.capmembers.com/emergency_services/aircraft_ops__staneval/.

• 2-4. Aircraft Requirements. The annotations below are from CAPR 60-1, Change 1, 19 DEC 2014.

o i. This paragraph has been removed: The pilot in command will ensure all navigational databases are current prior to flight under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR).

• 2-8. Pilot Training. The annotations below are from CAPR 60-1, Change 1, 19 DEC 2014

o e. Pilot training flights are authorized under Air Force approved mission pilot proficiency flight profiles located on the National Aircraft Ops & Stan/Eval web page at http://www.capmembers.com/media/cms/CAPR_601_Profiles_284FD0BD86EC2.pdf. These training flight profiles must be used to qualify for Air Force assigned mission status authorized by the CAP-USAF LR and flown only by pilots holding the qualifications stated in the specific profile

• CAP pilots holding an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate can check the boxes for Commercial and Instrument. • The box or boxes that you check will determine the FAA Practical Test Standards that will govern your CAPF-5

check ride.

• Prior to your CAPF-5 check ride you should review the FAA Practical Test Standards (PTS) that are applicable to

your check ride. The links for these standards are listed below. o FAA Private Pilot Practical Test Standards – Airplane o FAA Private Pilot Practical Test Standards – Glider o FAA Commercial Pilot Practical Test Standards – Airplane o FAA Commercial Pilot Practical Test Standards – Glider o FAA Instrument Rating Practical Test Standards – Airplane o FAA Flight Instructor Practical Test Standards – Airplane o FAA Flight Instructor Practical Test Standards – Glider o FAA Flight Instructor Instrument Practical Test Standards – Airplane

• Additional informational is available on the CAPF-5 document, page 3, “INSTRUCTIONS FOR CAP PILOT FLIGHT EVALUATIONS.”

Determine What Other CAPF-5 Endorsements You Are Seeking in this Check Ride • For Instrument-rated Pilots

o Minimum completion standards for this section include at least one partial panel unusual attitude recovery, one holding pattern, and one instrument approach.

o Contact the check pilot beforehand to see what approaches the check pilot will want you to. At a minimum review the instrument approach procedure before the CAPF-5 check ride. If you are taking your CAPF-5 in a G1000 airplane, practice the approaches as well missed

approaches and holds on the G1000 simulator prior to the check ride.

Your CAPF-5 and eServices

Maj W. J. Doyle, CFI A&I, NJWG/DOVA Updated 13 NOV 2015 Page 14

• For Cadet Orientation Pilots o You will need to review and discuss the orientation flight syllabus with the check pilot before the flight. The

check pilot will select syllabus maneuvers for you to demonstrate in-flight. Make sure that you know the applicable CAPR 60-1/CAPP 52-7 restrictions and are able to discuss them with the check pilot.

• For Instructor Pilots and Check Pilots

o You will be given a topic/maneuver by your check pilot on which to make a ground instruction demonstration to FAA CFI PTS standards. Your check pilot may have you demonstrate this same maneuver in the air during the flight portion of the check ride. You need to be able to demonstrate takeoffs and landings from both seats.

o An excellent reference source is the FAA’s Airplane Flying Handbook (FAA-H-8083-3B). You should consider reviewing this before your check ride. If there is a maneuver that particularly like, contact your check pilot before your check ride and ask if you can do that maneuver.

What Your Check Pilot Needs to Do During the ground session prior to your CAPF-5 check ride, your check pilot needs to do the following with you: • For each line item in sections I through XVIII there is a set of check boxes labeled S, U, V, and NP. Check the

appropriate box for each line item. Do not draw a vertical line through a series of items. A completed sample of is shown at the end of this section.

o S – Satisfactory indicates that a particular task was performed according to standards in the PTS. o U – Unsatisfactory indicates that a particular task was not performed according to standards in the PTS. o V – Verbally Briefed indicates that the pilot candidate briefed the check pilot verbally, e. g., section XI. Night

Flight Operations. o NP – Not Performed indicates that the task was not performed, e. g., Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) since the pilot

candidate does not have one. Also, sections XV Glider Procedures and XVI Multi-Engine Procedures would not be applicable to a check ride in the category/class of airplane single engine land.

• I. Oral Discussion, including but not limited to the topics below: o Review test completion certificates, including CAPR 60-1 exam, cadet orientation, ground handling, NCPSC o Review CAPR 60-1, especially those sections directly relevant to the flight o Review flight release procedures, including WMIRS, identification of FRO, who will call FRO for the release

• One-way • Round trip

Indicate whether there are sufficient fuel reserves to satisfy CAPR 60-1 requirements • One-way • Round trip

o Check pilots should consider a cross country that exercises all of the above, for example: SMQ → ARD → VAY → VCN → WWD

• IV. Airport & Traffic Pattern Operations, including but not limited to the items below, which should be covered during the oral discussion:

o AOPA Runway Safety Flash Cards – with a minimum score of 80% • VII. Maneuvers

o All maneuvers must be performed and graded as either “S” or “U” o Verbal briefings are not allowed

• XI. Night Flight Operations o If the CAPF-5 check ride is given during the day these tasks can be graded as “V” if the pilot candidate gives

a satisfactory verbal briefing In the Comments section enter “Qualified for night flight operations when in compliance with 14

CFR 61.57(b).” o If the CAPF-5 pilot candidate opts out of night flying or does not provide a sufficiently complete verbal

briefing, grade these tasks as “NP.” In the Comments section enter “Not qualified for night flight operations.”

• XVII. Instructor & Check Pilots o Verify that the pilot candidate holds the following FAA certificates:

Commercial Pilot Certificate with Instrument Rating Flight Instructor Certificate with Airplane Single Engine Rating and (optionally) CFI – Instrument

What You Need to Enter into eServices

FAA Certificates The FAA medical and flight instructor certificates will usually be on a renewal cycle different from your annual CAPF-5 check ride. Your flight review could be on the same renewal cycle as your annual CAPF-5 check ride, especially if you couple your CAPF-5 check ride with the FAA Wings Program. • FAA Medical Certificate

o In the example below, my FAA 2nd class medical certificate expired. o If you have passed your flight physical and gotten a new medical certificate, you would enter the information

appropriate for you in the window below then click the “Submit” button.

• FAA Flight Review

o In the example below, I am updating my flight review and my FAA Wings program o You would enter the information appropriate for you in the window below then click the “Submit” button.

• FAA CAP Solo Pilot Training IAW FAR 61.87 Certificate

o This would be used for cadets in the Falcon Flight Powered Flight Encampment or in the NER Glider Encampment.

o This must be submitted and validated before the cadet can solo.

• FAA Instructor Ratings o In the example below, my FAA Instructor Ratings are close to expiration. o If you have renewed, your FAA Flight Instructor certificate, enter the new expiration date then click “Submit.”

o The window confirms that your data has been received and that it is pending validation.

CAPF-5 Entries When you complete a CAPF-5 check ride, there are several entries that you need to make in eServices: your aircraft questionnaire(s) and your CAPF-5 check ride. While you do not need to enter your CAPR 60-1 exam, you do need to make sure that you take your CAPF-5 check ride within 60 days of taking the exam. • CAPR 60-1 Exam

o In the example below, you can see that I took my CAPR 60-1 exam on 9 SEP 2013. o Since the CAPF-5 check ride must be taken within 60 days of the exam, I need to take my CAPF-5 check ride

before 8 NOV 2013. o You need to monitor this closely. You do not want your check pilot telling you that you cannot take your CAPF-5

check ride because your exam has expired.

• Aircraft Questionnaire(s)

o You need to complete an Aircraft Questionnaire for each airplane that you want to fly. o Access DragonNet to get the POH, STC Supplement, Weight & Balance, and check list for each airplane for

which you will be completing a questionnaire.

FAA Wings Program The FAA Wings Program is an incredibly useful and worthwhile program for CAP members. Since all CAP pilots are required to complete a CAPF-5 check ride annually, there is a way to apply this toward a Wings Phase, which in turn will get you a flight review. You can also set up an automatic interface to get CAP Safety Education credit. Lastly, check pilots can use the Wings Program to renew their CFI certificates. So this is a win-win for CAP pilots and check pilots.

How to Get FAA Wings Credit for Your CAPF-5 Your annual CAPF-5 check ride will bring you within one or two Wings credits of completing a Wings Phase. Once you complete a Wings Phase, you get an automatic BFR. If you use AOPA's Air Safety Foundation or the FAASafety.gov website to take an online course to meet some or all of your CAP monthly safety education, you will always complete a Wings phase (and get a BFR) each time you successfully complete your CAPF-5 check ride. The FAA Wings Activity or Seminar Select Numbers that apply to CAPF-5 check rides are listed below: • CAP-F 5 Private / No Instrument (Airplane) • CAP-F 5 Private / Instrument (Airplane) • CAP-F 5 Commercial / No Instrument (Airplane) • CAP-F 5 Commercial / Instrument (Airplane) • CAP-F 5G Private (Glider) • CAP-F 5G Commercial (Glider) The details of how to do this are shown at the link below. http://williamjdoylejr.net/FAA_Wings/How_to_Get_FAA_Wings_Credit_for_Your_CAPF5.pdf

How to Automatically Update eServices Online Safety Education with FAA and AOPA Seminars Courses This section will provide you with ideas on how to best manage and update your CAP Online Safety Education records. Whether we realize it or not, all of us do things that qualify for credit in the FAA Wings Program. Most of these activities qualify for transfer to your safety records in CAP's Safety Management System (SMS) / Online Safety Education. Even your CAPF-5 results in CAP Safety credit. The link below gives a step-by-step illustration of how you can set this up so it happens automatically. It is very easy to do and only has to be done once. http://williamjdoylejr.net/FAA_Wings/How_to_Automatically_Update_eServices_Online_Safety_Educations_with_FAA_and_AOPA_Seminars_Courses.pdf

How CAP Check Pilots Can Use the FAA Wings Program to Renew Their CFI Certificate If a CAP check pilot gives five CAPF-5 check rides in a two year period, that check pilot can use the Wings Program to renew his/her CFI certificate. Since all CAP pilots need an annual CAPF-5 check ride, it is a relatively easy task for a CAP check pilot to fulfill. The FAA Advisory Circular at the link below provides the regulatory justification for this. http://williamjdoylejr.net/FAA_Wings/FAA_AC61-91J.pdf The details of how to do this are shown at the link below. http://williamjdoylejr.net/FAA_Wings/How_CFIs_Can_Use_the_FAA_Wings_Program_to_Renew_CFI_Certificates.pdf
