Civil Air Patrol, as the civilian Auxiliary of the U.S. Air
Force, supports Aerospace Education for two
different audiences - internal CAP members and
the general public.
In internal programs ensure that all CAP members
(seniors and cadets) have an appreciation for an
knowledge of aerospace issues. A rigorous
educational program is tied to promotions and
advancements are every level in the CAP
organization.
Each of our cadets, when funds are available, are
eligible to receive orientation flights in both powered and glider corporate aircraft. They also have the
opportunity to fly participate in the Military Incentive Flight Program allowing them the opportunity to fly
various military aircraft. Michigan has one of the most active CAP-USAF incentive flight programs in the
country.
It is also possible for cadets to attend powered, lighter-than-air, or glider flight encampments and
potentially earn their solo wings. They are capable to continuing their education to receive their pilot's
license. They are not allowed to fly CAP members until they become seniors, and then only with a lot of
experience and very specific training.
