Cadets in the Kona
Composite Squadron of
the Civil Air Patrol recent-
ly had an opportunity to
experience flights in the
squadron’s Cessna 182.
Cadets receive aerospace
education, learn about
safe ground handling
of the aircraft and also
use the squadron’s flight
simulators prior to their
flights. The U.S. Air Force
provides funding for up
to five powered flights per
cadet with each flight hav-
ing a prescribed syllabus
increasing in skill level
as the cadet progresses.
Flights are designed to
provide cadets with the
maximum opportunity
for hands on flying of the
aircraft under the super-
vision of an authorized
CAP and Federal Aviation
Administration certificat-
ed pilot.
Cadets receive an
extensive safety briefing
prior to all their flights
and are quizzed on the
material they have stud-
ied for the particular
flight. They also conduct
a preflight of the aircraft,
examining the various
control surfaces that they
will be moving when they
are flying the aircraft.
Cadets assist in read-
ing the various checklist
items used in preparing
the aircraft for engine
start. They then get to taxi
the aircraft using the rud-
der pedals as they venture
out to the engine run-up
area where they assist in
conducting pre-takeoff
check list procedures.
The Kona Composite
Squadron of the Civil
Air Patrol also trains
regularly to execute tsu-
nami warning flights,
searches for missing
boaters, hikers, camp-
ers or other emergency
services using its air-
craft and trained ground
crews. Membership in the
Civil Air Patrol is open
to young people aged
12 through 17 and to
any adult wishing to be
involved as a senior mem-
ber. The Kona Squadron
meets from 6 to 8:30 p.m.
every Tuesday at its build-
ing at Kona International
Airport. Anyone inter-
ested in more infor-
mation should contact
Commander Lisa Myrick
at
or 333-9061.
