From multiple videos I pieced together a normal orientation flight the Civil Air Patrol offers to train future cadet pilots. During a normal flight, a cadet will take the yoke for 30 min. under pilot supervision. Under the training program a cadet can solo by 17yrs. Many of the best pilots in the US military started in this program.

  • Do you control the plane the whole flight ever? I just take lessons and at 14 I am pilot in comand at all times.

  • 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

  • lol im flying tomorrow at 12:00 AM my first flight too im in the pell city squad :3

  • I hope it went well

  • 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.

  • One of many CAP scholarships. 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.
