9. Safety Concerns Recent Mishaps – Basic Overview: • Tow Bar – Still attached during flight • Tow Tug – attached during engine start • Hangar Rashes – Striking hangar doors etc. • Taxi Rashes – Striking other aircraft, building, fence, pole. • Tail Strikes – during landings and departures, some unreported and found during routine maintenance; caused by high or excessive flares, unstabilized approaches, over rotation. • Tire failures – some caused by over-braking. • Engine failures – two non-airport landings. • Landing mishaps – hard landing causing damage to metal housing covering the rudder control cables; bounced landing resulting in tail and prop strike.

11. During the flight check The Newest Statement During a Flight Exam “I am NOT the weakest link.”

12. Checkride Emphasis • Pilot Safety, Responsibility, and Judgment • Attitude toward the Checkride • Overall preparation, especially paperwork! • Overall proficiency for required tasks • Emergency Procedures • Crew/Cockpit Resource Management • Takeoffs and Landings • Ground Operations: Taxiing, etc. • You are flying to the FAA PTS for your ratings exercised…

13. Check Ride Tips and Hints • Safety First! • Other FAA rules/restrictions may be in effect (TFR) • Review expectations and review the check ride plan of action before taking to the sky • You are flying to the PTS (standards) of your certificates • Use the checklist – for all phases of flight • We are here to help you learn and improve • WINGS, BFR, IPC, and other proficiency (let us know) • If you are rusty with specific flight tasks, please get proficiency prior to the check ride; it is not meant to be instructional

14. Other Tips and Hints • New and Existing CAP Pilots: Get some time in the airplane for attempting a new Form 5! • Even though it’s just a Cessna 172, most CAP aircraft are equipped well beyond a standard C-172 • “I’m a multi-engine ATP with 10,000 hours and I should be able to pass the checkride.” • Make sure you review local procedures • MAWG READ File

15. Be Prepared for Emergencies!

16. Engine Out: Boldface Memory Actions • Airspeed • (Air)Field • Fuel Selectors - Fuel Pump ON • Mixture – Rich • Carb Heat - ON

17. Did you check the weather? DUAT, Flight Service, FAA Approved Weather source?

18. Checkride Preparation • Review MAWG ReadFile • Review CAPR 60-1, etc. • Check Weather, Call FRO • Review and Complete Operations Risk Matrix • Complete Weight and Balance • Wear proper CAP uniforms • Bring current charts or EFB • Bring a hood for Instrument work • Bring flashlights and other necessary items appropriate for the flight • Bring your best flying game, show us how you shine!

19. Know your aircraft! • Take the time to review aircraft specific data prior to every flight • Remember many CAP aircraft have STCs • Calculate performance data for each and every flight • Review critical airspeed for the aircraft • Review emergency procedures • Read and Study the POH once a year • Don’t copy your Aircraft Questionnaires year after year

20. Aircraft Equipment Operation • Many pilots are not familiar with the full operation of CAP aircraft equipment • Button and Switchology • Aircraft Autopilot, GPS Features • Audio Panel (turn on the power!) • CAP VHF Radio (NAT NPX-138 VHF/FM Transceiver) • CAP DF Radio

21. Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) Check pilots shall inquire into the applicant’s use of EFBs/ECDs during CAP operations and include their use, as appropriate, during annual and abbreviated check ride flights. Ground and flight evaluations shall be based on meeting the established FAA Areas of Operation and tasks of the appropriate Practical Test Standards using the EFB/ECD tools and methods the pilot uses during normal CAP operations.

22. 6 Minutes, 38 Seconds!!

23. Collision Avoidance: 80/20 Rule • Collision Avoidance continues to be a concern Use the 80/20 Rule 80% of the time scanning for traffic 20% of the time scanning cockpit CAP Aircraft have Pulse Lights Always use lights in vicinity of an airport and high-traffic areas

24. Landing Proficiency • Several CAP check ride failures a year due to landing errors • Crosswind landing proficiency generally a problem • Strive for stabilized approaches • Hard landings, airspeed control, locked brakes • Issues with night landings, short and soft field landings

25. Ground Operations • Within CAP and Civil Aviation: • Significant number of runway incursions, prop strikes, ground incidents • Pre-flight Inspection • Communication with Ground Control • Taxi diagrams and procedures • Issues: complacency, lack of attention to taxi process

26. Other Checkrides • Form 91 Checkrides • Looking for CRM and Mission Pilot Proficiencies • GPS work and radio coordination • Safety working with a crew on-board • CO Checkrides • Looking to verify a pilot can do simple demonstration with cadets and follow CO Syllabus • Making sure cadets are safe and having fun • IFR Checkrides • Plan for extra time in the air • Review of basic instrument procedures, approaches and handling emergencies

27. New Aircraft Flight Time Log

28. FAA Wings and CAP

29. MAWG Pilot Stats (Feb 2014) Emphasis areas of improvement

30. MAWG Pilot Mentoring • Proven Fact: What has worked best in the past is for senior MAWG pilots to encourage and “actively” mentor existing or new incoming pilots to progress along the way to additional mission abilities and proficiencies… • Open Discussion – How can MAWG increase it pilot population with qualified mission capabilities and retain pilots overall? Thoughts and comments?
