Powered Orientation Flights

Each year, over 6,000 CAP powered orientation flights are flown.

Powered flight operations have been a part of CAP's Cadet Orientation Flight Program since its inception. Because of its continued success, the program will provide for the reimbursement of up to five powered syllabus rides in addition to the reimbursement of the five glider syllabus rides mentioned in Section Two. National headquarters will provide reimbursement for the aircraft and its reasonable ferrying costs at the published CAPR 173-3 rates. Cadets may, at the orientation pilot’s discretion, operate the controls at any time after the orientation pilot has successfully demonstrated the procedures.
