Pilot Orientation

If you're an FAA-licensed pilot in Washington State - be it Private, Commercial or even ATP - and are looking for ways to get involved in flying for CAP then you've come to the right place!  Even if you already are a CAP pilot in one capacity or another, you may find some of the information useful.

On this page you will find links to resources (click / tap on the images to get to them) that help you:

How to find a CAP CFI or Check Pilot:

The previous list of CFIs and Check Pilots has been removed as it was too awkward to keep it up-to-date.  It's much more effective to understand how active individuals can be found by members seeking CAP pilot training or checkrides.   

WINGS

This PDF document crafted by Capt. Andy McDonald of the Fort Vancouver Composite Squadron describes how you can take advantage of the FAA Wings program to get credit for CAP flying activity towards a Flight Review (formerly known as BFR), and you can use CAP Form 5 activity and FAA Wings to do several things, including renewing a Flight Review, updating CAP Safety Training credit, and even updating CFII quals (if you are a CAP Check Pilot). 

Refueling

The current standard refueling level for C/T182 is 64 gals, and for C172 it's 44 gals of 100LL. 

Please always use the measure stick to determine how much fuel is missing in each tank when you buy fuel to restore standard refueling levels - do not just request bottom of filler tabs or similar methods as they tend to be anything but precise.
