Pilots for Missions and to work with Cadets- Auburn Squadron

Save to Favorites

How it works:
As a pilot, you’ll come into the organization as a VFR pilot but depending on experience you can quickly move from VFR pilot to transportation pilot to mission pilot. You’ll also have the opportunity to work with, and fly. cadets as an orientation pilot if that’s what you enjoy. Some of these terms may be new to you but the information below, should prove helpful.

Although getting checked out in a CAP aircraft can seem difficult at times, it really isn’t that difficult when you look at what you can do for yourself, your community, and the nation. To help you through, the unit should provide a mentor to help you through the process. If you ever have questions don’t hesitate to ask your unit leadership, they’re in the position of leadership because they value CAP’s mission and all its members.

Other Qualifications: Strong organizational skills. People, and communication skills. Must be 18 or older to join as a senior member. Willingness to become a member of the Civil Air Patrol. Ability to pass a background check after submitting fingerprint cards and enthusiasm for community service.

CAP offers ordinary citizens stimulating training opportunities few experience outside the military.

While the central focal point of our effort is training and preparation of aircrew for the Alabama Wing fleet, there are many roles available to non-flying members such as radio communications, logistics, planning, mission staff participation and other aircrew positions such as Airborne Photographer or Mission Observer.

The Auburn Composite Squadron meets Tuesday's and Thursday's from 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. each week. We invite and welcome you to be our guest for an evening at one of our weekly squadron meetings in person. You'll get a chance to meet some of our members who will discuss the organization and provide you with informational pamphlets and accompany you for the evening to answer any questions you might have about the Civil Air Patrol.
