Info

This text is designed to provide: 1) the minimum academic knowledgerequired by the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) Mission Observer and SAR/DR Mission Pilottask guides and 2) knowledge beyond that required by the aircrew task guidesthat will serve as a reference and assist those who wish to learn more about thevarious subjects.The Mission Observer (MO) is a scanner with expanded duties who usuallysits in the right front seat. In addition to the primary duty of scanning while in thesearch area, the observer assists the pilot with planning, navigation, andcommunication. The observer may also serve as mission commander, ensuringthat all mission objectives are met.The SAR/DR Mission Pilot (MP) is the aircraft commander and is responsiblefor the safety of the crew and the aircraft. The MP must fly the aircraft precisely inorder to execute mission procedures and search patterns so that the scannershave the best possible chance to achieve mission objectives. Naturally, as Pilotin-Commandthe pilot must satisfy all pertinent FAA and CAP regulationspertaining to certification, currency and the operation of the aircraft; this textconcentrates on mission-specific duties and responsibilities.The importance of safety is emphasized throughout the text. Lessons learnedin this text will enable aircrew members to operate in a safe and efficient manner,thus reducing accidents and incidents.Before beginning training in any of the aircrew ratings you should review andunderstand the current CAP 60-series regulations, which provide currentoperations and training guidance and requirements. Trainee prerequisites foreach rating are provided in CAPR 60-3 Chapter 2 and in the SpecialtyQualification Training Record (SQTR) for Mission Observer and Mission Pilot.NOTE: This text contains links to web sites, and web addresses often change.

AcknowledgementsMany dedicated persons have contributed to the development of the text,slides, and attachments that make up the CAP mission aircrew reference texts.Material was taken from CAP sources all over the country. There are too many tothank, but we will mention several important contributors.The core of this text was developed from the Southwest RegionScanner/Observer Course. Developed, maintained and taught by severalReserve Officers in the CAP/RAP program that serves Texas Wing andSouthwest Region, the course has been in existence for several years. Lt. Col.Robert H. Castle, USAFR led this effort.The text was then modified and expanded to serve as the classroom materialfor the National Emergency Services Academy (NESA) Mission Aircrew School,which was begun in 2000. One of the school co-founders, Lt. Col. Rich Simerson,developed this text and the associated slides; he now maintains and updates thematerials. The other co-founder, Lt. Col. Mike DuBois, provided invaluable inputand was indispensable in shaping the course. Several instructors and students ofthe first two schools also contributed greatly, particularly Major Arden Heffernan,Major Earl Burress, Captain Galen Hall, and Major Scott Lanis. The NESADirector, Lt Col John Desmarais, provided unstinting support and assistance.This text and associated training materials were developed under theauspices of the National Emergency Services Curriculum Project. Valuable inputwas provided by one of the Middle East Region representatives, Lt. Col. RobertAyres. This is a 'living' document that is being tested and improved through itsuse at the NESA Mission Aircrew School and through field-testing by unitsthroughout the country as part of the Emergency Services Curriculum Project.Please direct comments (via e-mail) to the text administrator, Lt. Col. RichSimerson, at rsim@suddenlink.net. Please be specific and provide justification foryour comments. If you refer to specific text or figures, please identify themclearly. If you have better pictures or slides than the ones appearing in the text orslides, or have others that you feel will improve the text and/or slides, please sendthem electronically and include explanatory notes or annotation.3
