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. As a volunteer with the CAP, keeping up with equipment and property is essential to mission success. You can apply your logistics experience, education or training as you participate in day-to-day operations of a squadron, Search and Rescue missions, training and practice exercises; and disaster relief efforts as part of the Auxiliary to the USAF.
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.
In addition, opportunities are available to work with our Cadet Leadership Program, Aerospace Education, sUAS (drones), Aerial Photography, Mission Pilot, Mission Scanner, Mission Observer, Communications/Radio Operator and especially Incident Command Staff! We have MANY opportunities to chose from. Much or our training is OJT in addition to courses that can be completed on-line.

Description
Established in 1941, Civil Air Patrol is the official auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force and as such is a member of its Total Force. In its auxiliary role, CAP operates a fleet of 555 single-engine aircraft and 2,250 small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) and performs about 90% of all search and rescue operations within the contiguous United States as tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center. Often using innovative cellphone forensics and radar analysis software, CAP was credited by the AFRCC with saving 108 lives last year. CAP’s 56,000 members also perform homeland security, disaster relief and drug interdiction missions at the request of federal, state and local agencies. As a nonprofit organization, CAP plays a leading role in aerospace education using national academic standards-based STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education resources. Members also serve as mentors to over 23,000 young people participating in CAP’s Cadet Programs.
