Civil Air
What exactly is the Civil Air Patrol?
I'm 15 and getting my pilot's license. I thought about joining the Civil Air Patrol, but I have no idea what it is. I looked on their website and all over the Internet. Sometimes it seems that something tough-guy military and sometimes it seems like a way to help the community in a beautiful peaceful calm. DO TELL me to look at their website. Experiences Personal would be nice to hear.
CAP is a nonprofit organization with our three basic missions are Aerospace Education, Emergency Services and the Cadet Program. Aerospace Education Hands-on learning of the flight dynamics, control procedures, and all things related to aviation. Cadets (12-18 years, who you) go on orientation flights in a Cessna 172 or similar apparatus to become familiar with flying and is taking orders. Emergency Services Us assist in the search and rescue process (and bear the high percentage of search and rescue in the United States) in search of missing persons downed aircraft and so on. These missions arise every once in awhile in your area plane crash and we receive the radio signal it crashed. Cadet Programs Teach-cadet leadership and responsibility in a military way with the promotion by the degree program earning more (excluding Base U.S. Air Force, namely Cadet Airman, Staff Sergeant Cadet Staff Cadet etc.) and more leadership positions (Cadet First Sergeant Commandant of Cadets) (push ups, running, sit-ups) Participate in physical training of CAP is known as the Auxiliary Air Force. We are a community organization ever to help the motherland. As I said in the mission of search and rescue, community service etc. It is also a military you get with any civilian organization, although not as intense. If you are interested in being a pilot, I highly recommend Civil Air Patrol. Finally, you'll be able to log hours on our aircraft (we have hundreds of beautiful new Cessna) for free. You can even train to become a pilot research and missions Rescue and search the sky for planes shot down, thats what I do!
