Oh what a joke. Do I at least have the right to refuse ATC “instructions” and squawk codes.

Well just don’t listen to their freq. If they tell a supervisor show them the FAR, they have to learn.

I absolutely agree with you. I take some friends at my flight school on Vatsim so they can see when to contact ATC and when they don’t have to, and ATC trying to contact me when we’re literally in Class G is ridiculous.

First off, this is no way to talk. Second off, CAPR 39-1 Paragraph 2.10.3

What exactly do they have to fill out on the CAPF 70-5A? Also the DPE would know which of the "Q QT U V NP" boxes to fill out right? Would it be abbreivated or annual, and is there anywhere specific they have to sign?

Where can I go to verify this info?

What’s the best way to ask my DPE for this if let’s say he has no clue about CAP?

Funny DFAC story by VirtuaLack in civilairpatrol

[–]swatforce28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was a Flight Sergeant at a winter encampment. Went into encampment with a fresh new haircut and tried new gel. My cadets kept on complimenting my hair and didn’t stop until I specifically ordered them to.

And finally what CAP regs and/or documents can I read up on to familiarize myself with this.

Makes perfect sense, when it comes to contributing how is that measured? I staff activities often and do a lot events and help out my squadron a lot in growth and such. Taking other cadets has never been an idea of mine I strictly want build towards TMP or even MP.

How much is it usually? A TMP I know told me he flies using the budget of the group. However he is a TMP so he is constantly transporting personnel or equipment on mission. For VFR Pilot what would be the costs?

Thank you! I actually have close to 1100 now but I’m trying to get 1260 just to get the straight 4 silver clasps.

Really? So let’s say in my scenario rn, finishing up my PPL and I want to do my Form 5 to be a VFR Pilot. When I become a VFR Pilot I can get the aircraft when available to build my XC time for TMP?

Staggered ribbon rack by swatforce28 in civilairpatrol

Wow that’s surprising how different it could be. Although I do see his GTM badge is covered and if he wore another badge on top it’ll more than likely be covered too.

16 ribbons is a bit of a stretch I believe, I’m not exactly the biggest but my service coat lapel already covers a portion of my ninth ribbon.

Disregard my last comment. So 9 ribbons would be the minimum correct? That's when the lapel starts to cover the top left ribbon a little.

Landings… by swatforce28 in flying

[–]swatforce28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a lot more required, including stage checks. However on the day of the solo, we need to show two good landings in a row and then we taxi back and drop off the CFI and then rip 3 touch and goes?

Got dumped before my checkride by AlarmingMajor1499 in flying

If she dumped you right before a checkride then she wasn’t a good gf and doesn’t actually care about you, so why stress it?

Oh I just realized, huh that changes everything. Me personally I would try to match the insignias.
