The Civil Air Patrol cadets took over after take off. After a few flights and enough rank they can sign up for Falcon flight or a National flight academy and can solo

[cedwards94]

LOL look at the cassna 182's prop. it looks like its rotating so slow

[SkiAv8or]

@cedwards94 It is a Cessna 172, 182's have 3 bladed props, It appears slow because of the camera's frame rate.

[rileyturkey]

Wow,he went so fast,looks like he didn't go through any checklists.

[RachelRanellie]

i went on my first o-flight today... and it took us like 5 minutes to go through our check list... haha

[AmericanGi370]

I like the CAP but they don't teach you how to fly. My dads a pilot and he tought me how to fly a Cessna 150. And I'm only 12. Flight instructing "ISN'T FREE!!!!!!!"

[ctrot]

If you have CAP pilots and members who volunteer their time a lot is possible. The students pay for their gas.

[umahuma4]

the students pay for the gas? its a US military auxillary, the military should pay for the gas.

ORDER OF DAEDALIANS - Maj Gen Lucas V Beau Flight Scholarships

The Order of Daedalians, a national fraternity of military pilots, awards five $2,100 flight scholarships in the name of former CAP National Commander Maj Gen Lucas V Beau to help deserving CAP cadets earn their FAA private pilot's license. Applicants who have earned their solo badge or graduated from an aerospace-related special activity are especially encouraged to apply.

[umahuma4]

but your not alowed to fly yet, because

1. is your dad a certified FAA flight instructor?

2. I dont know what the age requirement needs to be to apply for a FAA private pilots license is, but i think your to young. I think its 14 or 15, but i know you have to be 16 to do a solo under FAA regulations

[jumpseat2024]

16 to solo, 17 for your Private License

[astoria1019]

nope.

you can start training at any age.

16 to solo.

17 for license.

[TrevorCool]

A lot of people here are wrong. You get 5 Powered flights, and 5 Glider flights. Those are only orientation you dont earn a pilots license. You need to take paid lessons to get those. CAP won't get you a license but will certainly get experience.

Im not exactly sure who i was talking to since i posted that comment about a year ago.

[turboman1010]

[jimmydcap]

CAP will teach you about flying.

[PotatoGunsRule]

Oh wow, you guys are inspiring! I was 16 when I had my first O-flight, a year later I was getting my license. I'm a bit older now, but rejoined as a Senior and I'm very excited to "get back in the air"! Go enjoy yourselves, CAP is a GREAT opportunity.

[yukikazepilot1]

I just went on my first o-filght yesterday!!! xD

[MacBooker4444]

i have a question, i am joining and i was wonder how many flights do you get?

[sweetnenita]

you get as many Observation Flights as you want, but you have to earn your spot for pilot training.

[omgidontcare54]

im thinking of joining this thing. i LOVE airplanes and it sounds kind of fun other than the discipline and uniform stuff. whose flying that plane? their doing a bad job

[MacBooker4444]

lol cool! the discipline isnt what you think its not like the army.... and the guy did do a horrible job

[jman40194]

@omgidontcare54 well how are you ever going to learn how to fly a freaking airplane if you dont learn how to focus on minor details (uniform) and stay professional in the cockpit without disipline?

[JF183457]

cool vid 9/10
