In our role as United States Air Force auxiliary, Civil Air Patrol conducts the Rated Preparatory Program to help train aspiring pilots who are active-duty personnel. Learn more in this article from CAP Volunteer magazine. #CivilAirPatrol #GoFlyCAP
Hi Bear: Just wanted to say "hi". Hope you are dong well.
Love Civil Air Patrol!
This makes so much sense, with CAP being part of the Air Force Total Force.
Wright Field, now part of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, was once home to all of the activities now under Air Force Materiel Command: labs, acquisition, test, and logistics. This official WWII training film (also made here; no endorsement implied for the company that digitized it!) is a great overview of view of the flight test activity that went on here before it moved out to 412th Test Wing, Edwards Air Force Base after the war. The first five minutes or so are of general interest, showing many of the aircraft and facilities around at that time. The rest focuses on the basics of flight test procedures for new test pilots and may only be engaging for those of you currently/formerly involved in that activity or are otherwise really into the topic. https://lnkd.in/gDiXeDCf
My latest video! On the day we shot this, I learned what an LSO is, and how they’re trained!! See how my Division is working to make that training a lot more affordable and efficient!
When it comes to capability, affordability, safety, and training—the Landing Signal Officer Training Simulator at NAS Pax River delivers! Watch how #NAWCAD trains US Navy and United States Marine Corps LSOs faster and more affordably while exposing them to a vast array of potential scenarios and weather conditions. #NAWCAD is proud to be part of the foundation that supports our warfighter! https://lnkd.in/es29ztZJ
When we last saw Captain Kirk, he had Mr. Spock explaining the five key principles of Lean to the crew. In this latest instalment of #leantrek, Chapter III, Lieutenant Uhura explains the eight wastes of Lean, annoying both McCoy and Scottie in the process!

New Landing Signal Officers' training in the works for F-35B | United States Marine Corps aviation's F-35B community needs more Landing Signal Officers (LSOs) certified faster and more affordably. #NAWCAD is helping change the game giving a lift to the F-35B short take-off/vertical landing (STOVL) community's up-and-coming schoolhouse. The command recently hosted the #USMC to develop land-based training that STOVL LSOs can take in a school simulator stateside—a critical capability as today's training can take an extensive amount of time to coordinate around a ship's busy schedule. STOVL LSOs under instruction spent a week at our Manned Flight Simulator to develop the new curriculum that will eventually be housed at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort in South Carolina. We'll have more of the prospective LSOs back on the (virtual) deck this spring to fine-tune the curriculum and simulator requirements. NAWCAD is helping the USMC refine the course and supportive infrastructure ahead of the service's formal establishment of the school, which will be critical to standardizing STOVL LSO training across the Marine Corps and our international partners. Simulator training makes LSOs more proficient because it puts them through scenarios that can't be controlled or replicated in real-life, like varied weather and sea states. What's an LSO? The Landing Signal Officer is one of the most important crew members onboard a ship responsible for helping pilots launch and recover safely. STOVL LSOs operate onboard Wasp- or America-class amphibious assault ships aiding pilots of STOVL aircraft like the F-35B Lightning. The STOVL LSO stations in primary flight control with a ship's Air Boss where they work as a team during fixed-wing launch and recovery operations to guide each aircraft to their landing—sometimes waving off, assisting, or diverting the aircraft in challenging situations.
Manned model ship handling creates realistic conditions gi providing the student with the next best thing to a full-scale ship.

1moI'll note that there's a whole staff that support the instructors and students during the 2 weeks of RPP including a great line crew and air branch support who make sure the instructors can maximize their time with their crew during the week. Two Airmen are assigned to an instructor, and the three become a crew, working together for the whole week in the airplane, on the simulators, and studying, and for that matter just talking. Learning the Language of Aviation plays a significant role in the success we've seen in the program. Lt Col "Bishop" Sheen is one of the best instructors around, and a wonderful spokesperson for CAP for this program. Thanks, Mike, for all the work.
