I want to start studying for my CAPF 5 and in doing so I would like a copy of the POH for the aircraft that I am going to fly. Is there a place on the vast CAP website that has this information? What is the general strategy for getting this info for CAP planes?

Thank you in advance!

Nope, because of copyright restrictions, but you can find them on Scribd and other publication repositories. Some are free, and some are not. You should get one for the specific model of plane you will be flying.

In addition, you should have a look at the POH/PIM that is in your aircraft.

Our Squadron has a guide (might need some minor revisions) on How to become a CAP pilot: http://www.squadron188.org/home/new-member-guide/cap-pilot-guide

Have fun!

Thank you very much! I'll speak to the squadron on Tuesday when we meet again. Is there a spot on WIMRS that you can use to nail down which aircraft are assigned to your particular Squadron?

You guys have a great website BTW!

Yes, if you have the rights in WMIRS go to the Support, Maintenance Module and Current Aircraft Maintenance Snapshot: https://www.capnhq.gov/WMIRS/MaintenanceModule/Snapshot.aspx

Thank you for the kudos  ;D

Unless TX is different, aircraft aren't generally "assigned" to squadrons, though they may be "hosted" by one as a steward,
and the POC may be from the unit for convenience.

It's usually a matter of physical proximity to the plane that determines what / where most pilots fly, all are open to everyone,
absent some specific local restriction, and scheduled using whatever your wing uses to reserve them.

In CAWG the aircraft is assigned to the squadron. They're responsible for it's care and feeding. Plus the attendant paper work.
But they can be scheduled and flown by any qualified pilot.

And some CAWG squadrons are assigned two planes.

Actually, it has FOUR. 3 gliders and the tow plane!

Negative, tow plane is at another unit now, and would you count a crashed glider as one of the three?

That's how the Zimbabwe Air Force counts theirs.
