If you’re a pilot, or you’d like to be, CAP has plenty
of opportunities tailor-made for you. CAP owns the largest fleet of
single-engine piston aircraft in the nation, and CAP pilots are able to fly
those planes to perform CAP missions in service to their local communities.
CAP pilots fly reconnaissance missions for homeland security, search and rescue
and disaster relief, and even counter drug reconnaissance at the request of
government or law enforcement agencies. They transport medical personnel and
supplies, blood and live tissue. In times of disaster, they assess damage and
transport emergency personnel from site to site.
The Civil Air Patrol's aircraft are in hangars at strategic locations throughout
the nation to be readily available when missions arise. CAP members maintain
these aircraft at the highest levels of safety and efficiency and have access to
specialists at CAP National Headquarters for maintenance, safety and training
questions.
If you’d like to become a CAP pilot, you must be at least 17 years of age and
hold a valid FAA private, commercial or airline transport pilot certificate. You
must have a Class III or higher medical certificate and a current flight review.
You’ll have to satisfactorily complete a flight check and pass a written exam.
You’ll also need to complete aircraft questionnaires for each plane you’re
qualified to fly.
As a CAP pilot, you carry out some of the organization’s most important jobs. CAP
is also a great place for you to meet and work with people who share your
interest in flying and want to use their skills in a meaningful way.
