Any CAP pilots?

Come to Canada and try Civil Air Search and Rescue Association of
Canada, we are a military funded organization that assists the
military and the federal police searching for missing aircraft and
missing persons.

I'm just curious what thoughts or experiences people have with regard to the
CAP.

My experience with the Wyoming arm of the CAP was troubling at best. I
offered to go though the Form 5 jump through the hoops process. The
wing was and still is run by a bunch of ex military people who have
the system set up to make it next to impossible for anew guy to get to
fly "their" planes. After a year or so I threw in the towel and
emailed the nationa commander to view my thoughts. I warned him of
incompentence and the inbreed nature of the CAP here. I would not fly
with certainpilotsand named them. Just s few weeks later he flew the
CAP plane through the Snake River canyon where it was about 100 feet
wide and hit a cable 15 feet of the water. Killed him and destroyed
the plane. This year one of the otherpilotswho was known as
marginal at best was on a mission and spun it in, killing himself and
two other innocent humans. Also someone posted that you will be called
for a mission in the middile of the night. i was told a CAP plane
CANNOT fly bewteen sunset and sun up. as in , no night flying.
Probably just more BS that I was fed by the Wyoming CAP chapter. YMMV

Wow, again this is very different from the CAP we have here in
California. If I had to guess I'd say the average number of hours for
a CAP mission pilot is about 2000 hours. In California there is very
little reason for student pilots fly since we really don't have
aircraft approved for student use (we are almost all 182's, which CAP
prohibits student instruction in). Besides our planes are so busy it
would be unlikely a commander would approve the use of such by
students. Finally, our dry rates are almost as high as an FBO (I know
some states have CAP aircraft available at reduced rate, we pay about
$80/hr dry here). Gas at CAP airports always seems higher (probably
because they are larger airports), around $5/gal right now.

You're a arrogant moron, I am a Canadian and we don't have the student
death rates you americans do! we actually learn spin, stall, spiral
dive, and learn how to ditch a plane in a field. Our student death
rate is not like your american statistics.And we are actually taught
to land in a field rather than on a HIGHWAY full of CARS like you
americans. So keep your ****ty attitude to yourself. And by the way, I
am female and we don't have the death rate per capita that you macho
male students have either, so shut your pie hole and keep your
negative bull**** to yourself.

I hope you make a safe pilot....

And I hope your engine never fails over a highway with cliffs,
mountains, water or any other obstruction bordering it.

I am not a student pilot, been flyin for longer then you have probably
been alive, and have probably owned more planes then you have piloted.
Now sit down and take a chill pill..

Safe flying out there guys,,,, and girls. G

There are stupid people everywhere, sometimes you need look no farther than
your own backyard:

Pilot Faces Charges In Roadway Takeoff Crash

Sometimes things just go from bad to worse. According to the Thunder Bay
Chronicle Journal, a 25-year-old Timmins, Ont., pilot faces a fine of up to
$10,000 in a chain of events that began with a successful emergency road
landing and ended with his badly damaged Grumman American in a ditch after
an aborted takeoff. The aircraft apparently had engine problems while on a
flight to Thunder Bay and the pilot set it down on a gravel road near the
hamlet of Hurkett, Ont., about 80 kilometers east of Thunder Bay. The pilot
apparently fixed the problem to his satisfaction and that's when the real
trouble started.

The pilot tried to take off but the aircraft slipped on some ice and slid
into a ditch. According to witness Jim White, the plane's nose gear sheared
and there's damage to the main gear, wings and nose. "It hit (the ditch)
pretty good," said White, who helped the pilot push the damaged plane onto
his property. The pilot was reportedly shaken but not seriously hurt. To
make a bad day worse, police arrived to inform the pilot he's allegedly
violated provincial laws concerning roadway takeoffs. According to Ontario
law, before anyone flies off a road, the aircraft has to be checked for
airworthiness and police must be called to barricade a section of the road
to accommodate the takeoff. The pilot will be in court to face the charges
Feb. 25.

Your attitude makes me really want to "Come to Canada and try Civil Air

Thanks, but no thanks. I'll take an arrogant american over you any day of
the week.

WTF is she talking about? We don't practice short/soft field landings in
primary training?
