CAP_safetyThe next three months are going to be spent covering safety training required by National HQ and MOWG. This will allow Cass County Composite Squadron to be in compliance of the required safety training needed annually.

CAP Duty Day is January's safety topic. Duty Day can be seperated in two parts, Flight Time/Duty Limitations and Vehicle Driving.

CAPR 60-1 7 Dec, 2006

2-15. Flight Time and Duty Limitations

Pilots will not be scheduled for more than 8 hours and will not, under any circumstances, exceed 10 hours flight time during a 14-hour crew duty day. The crew duty day begins when reporting for work or CAP duty (whichever occurred first) and ends upon engine shutdown at the completion of the flight activity. At least a 10-hour crew rest period should be provided between duty days. Exceptions to the crew duty day limitation will be considered for life-saving missions only and will be requested by the pilot-in-command through the incident commander to the wing commander. Approval for up to 16 hours crew duty day may be granted by the wing commander only after all appropriate Operational Risk Management (ORM) considerations have been evaluated. The wing commander must advise the region commander of any crew duty day extensions within 24 hours of such action.

CAPR 60-1 MOWG Supplement 22 Dec, 2007

Section B. Supplemental Paragraphs

2a. Vehicle Driver

Vehicle driver duty day will be no more than 8 hours in a 14 hour duty day. It is strongly encouraged to have more than one driver on long trips and to switch driving responsibility frequently. In addition, it is strongly encouraged to make frequent short stops to reduce fatigue.

Fatigue is one of your best self-checks when embarking on a mission. Fatigue shouldn't be dismissed when driving or flying. We have been entrusted with CAP resources and are expected to take care of the planes and vehicles we drive. These resources include the cadets, and ourselves, that ride along.

Remember:
The door to Safety swings on the hinges of common sense.
