General Aviation Pilot
ORGANIZATION: Civil Air Patrol - Black Sheep Senior Squadron
Please visit the new page to apply.
Becoming a Civil Air Patrol (CAP) pilot can be rewarding and fulfilling. As a CAP pilot, you are given the opportunity to fly aircraft that are part of the world’s largest fleet of Cessna aircraft. In CAP’s status as the auxiliary of the US Air Force, the Air Force provides funds for us to procure aircraft to replace our aircraft as they age and to perform maintenance.
As a pilot, you’ll come into the organization as a VFR pilot but depending on experience you can quickly move from VFR pilot to transportation pilot to mission pilot. You’ll also have the opportunity to work with, and fly cadets as an orientation pilot if that’s what you enjoy.
The general qualifications to become a CAP pilot are:
1. Be an active CAP member at least 17 years of age (16 years of age for CAP glider pilots)
2. Possess a valid FAA private, commercial, or airline transport pilot certificate.
3. Possess a class III or higher medical certificate (not required for gliders)
4. Possess a current flight review IAW FAR 61.56 5. Satisfactorily complete a CAP flight check
If you are a CFI, you can also become a CAP Instructor Pilot, Check Pilot, or Check Pilot Examiner.

The Civil Air Patrol (CAP) is the official auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force. Consisting of nearly 59,000 volunteer members, CAP serves the nation and local communities through Aerospace Education, Cadet Programs, and Emergency Services.

We offer diverse opportunities for pilots and non-pilots alike who are passionate self-starters looking for volunteer opportunities to serve.
