TX-295 Orientation Flights

Refer to CAP's Registration Zone on eServices:

Civil Air Patrol - Registration Zone: Index

When locating the posting, please clear the "ORG:" box and select "SWR-TX-295" then click the "Filter Calendar" button. After that, you will see any available upcoming Orientation Rides that you can sign up for. Follow the instructions written by the Adult Staff of Thunderbolt Composite Squadron and make sure to keep an eye on your email's inbox for more information. 

Based on availability, local weather and flight restrictions of airport. Should more Cadets be available to fly and not enough slots, keep in mind that those that are older in age and those without any completed Orientation Rides will be considered first. 

One limitation to keep in mind of: Due to the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), CAP must limit Orientation Flights based on age of the Cadet. Should a Cadet turn 18 years of age or older, he or she will be unable to participate in an Orientation Flight. This is why we want to heavily encourage Cadets to take advantage of this opportunity before their 18th birthday. Should this be the case for you, keep in mind that there are other opportunities to be able to get you into an airplane, such as Emergency Services Training Exercises.
