Civil Air Patrol Pilot

There are more than 64,000 members of the Civil Air Patrol. In all, the CAP flies more than 100,000 hours each year performing important missions. The CAP was formed in the early 1940s as an all-volunteer organization.

Today the CAP continues to provide urgent search and rescue flights, air and ground support for disaster relief, flying officials and staff to remote locations, transporting essential medical supplies to accident sites and performing aerial damage assessment.

In our newest add-on Civil Air Patrol Pilot, we bring to users of Microsoft Flight Simulator some of the many important operations that these volunteers fly each and every day.

Using Flight Simulator they'll fly some of the same missions performing critical tasks that keep the CAP such an essential part of the our nation's resources. For more information, visit the Civil Air Patrol website.

Search and Rescue Missions
We created the Rescue Coordination Center to simulate operations. You'll be in contact with Center where requests for missions are handled. One of the major tasks of the Civil Air Patrol is to conduct search and rescue operations.

The CAP staff categorizes the search patterns into one of five types, based on the terrain, environment, and other characteristics:

Expanding Square
Sector
Circle
Parallel Track
Creeping Line
ELT

You'll fly missions which will use one of the above search patterns. Keep your eyes peeled. The target down below is small!

Here's the track of a mission flown using the expanding square pattern search:

The flight plans can be flown using our special gauge to help with the search and rescue missions:

For some missions, you'll search for a downed aircraft by tracking the Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) using this meter:

Aircraft:

Cessna 172 Skyhawk
Cessna L-19 Bird Dog
Cessna 185 Skywagon
Gippsland GA8 Airvan
DHC-2 Beaver

The first pilot reaching 1000 hours of flight will get:

Seahawk & Boxer

An exiting combination of the venerable Seahawk helicopter (in the US Navy version and the export version) and the USS Boxer, the WASP class amphibious support ship.

The Seahawk/Jayhawk is a specially-equipped, naval derivative of the renowned H-60 Blackhawk. It is used as a platform for the Light Airborne Multi-Purpose Subsytem (LAMPS) Mark III mission, and has earned its reputation as an excellent fully integrated air/ship weapons platform. But it also serves as a VIP transport, ship to shore transport (VERTREP), Search and Rescue (SAR) and ambulance (Medivac) platform. Highly versatile and far more stable then the Blackhawk it is a reliable workhorse of the US navy and coast guard.

The USS Boxer is capable of landing 2000 marines and providing them with all the air support and provisions they need for several days. A self supporting army capable of invading any coastal country but also a very powerful humanitarian force as is recently shown in South East Asia in the Tsunami relief efforts. The LHD ships are built to deliver stores to coastal regions without any infrastructure so they are perfect for delivering aid to a community that is devastated. The large supplies, excellent medical facilities, organisation and communications make the USS Boxer a floating city that can inflict serious damage and repair serious damage. The ship in FS has detailed lighting for night operations and will be available at 8 locations worldwide. The level of detail of the ship is such as not seen before. From the animated radars, to the forklift trucks and battery carts on deck, it's all there. The USS Boxers gives you ten highly exiting floating airports all over the world!
