On February 5, 2007, Indiana Wing acquired a new C182T Nav III (G-1000,
"Glass Cockpit") airplane, N894CP. It is presently stationed at South
Bend (SBN). If you have seen N738CP at Indy-Metro Airport (UMP), then
you've seen its twin. This aircraft is destined to be based at
Griffith-Merrillville Airport (05C). Transition training has begun for
the Griffith squadron. Right now, Capt Mark Floyd has been checked out
as a FITS pilot, instructor and check pilot for the C182T Nav III
aircraft. FITS stands for FAA/Industry Transition Training, a program
developed by the FAA, Cirrus and Cessna for transition pilots from
"steam gauge" instruments to Technically Advance Aircraft (TAA), which
have GPS, multifunction displays (MFD's), and autopilots. Some funding
has been provided for transition training, but it will not cover all
the expense. Initial transition training is focused on CD mission
pilots. Hopefully, all qualified pilots at Griffith will complete
transition training before the Spring CD season starts. This is another
indicator that Indiana Wing is recognized as active and contributing to
the CAP mission. If we continue our fine performance, we should qualify
for another new C182T Nav III in the not too distant future.

this cover food for Saturday and Breakfast Sunday. Report time is
between 1900 and 2000hrs on the 13th. All participants must bring their
CAP Form 60.
There are sufficient uniform items in Bldg 330. Everyone in the wing,
seniors or cadets, should have 1-2 uniforms.
Southern Group will expand in 2007 to further support the units by the
addition of a group staff. Staff openings include Safety Officer,
Emergency Services Officer, Group Deputy Commander and Recruiting

New AvCard and maintenance policies are being issued by the Wing
Commander. AvCards are specific to each aircraft and are to be used for
all fuel and oil for that airplane. No other use of an AvCard is
authorized and unauthorized use will be sanctioned. Non-funded missions
are to be paid for at the time of submission of the Form 94. The pilot
flying is responsible for paying the airplane charge plus the
reimbursement of the fuel and oil used. In addition, we are now on the
national centralized maintenance program. No maintenance is to be
performed on INWG CAP aircraft without specific authorization from the
Maintenance Officer and all maintenance movement of an aircraft must
have a flight release from Maintenance, Operations or the Commander.
Any maintenance performed without specific authorization will be
charged to the individual approving the maintenance. Because INWG CAP
has NO maintenance budget as of 1 February, all work must be approved
by NHQ in advance. This is an area that has been abused nationally
within CAP which the organization is attempting to control. Therefore,
for fuel and oil charges for unfunded missions and for unapproved
aircraft maintenance, INWG CAP will pursue immediate reimbursement from
the member incurring the costs including any necessary legal actions to
obtain reimbursement. While this may sound harsh, our budget has been
severely limited and we must take all steps to contain our costs.
With the Wing gaining more C182 aircraft, four and hopefully one more
on the way, we expect to have more pilots transitioning from the C172
to the C182 and C182T Nav III. CAPR 60-1 provides detailed
transitioning training for those pilots not “grandfathered” into HP
aircraft or make and model. CAPR 60-1 also provides the requirements
for “grandfathering” pilots into HP aircraft. Because of multiple
accidents throughout CAP with C182 transition, INWG DOV will determine,
on a case by case basis, whether a pilot meets the basic requirements
for taking a CAPF 5 in an INWG CAP C182. All pilots who can demonstrate
compliance with the transition training listed in CAPR 60-1 3-3 (3)
(b), (c) and (d) will be approved for a CAPF 5 in the C182. Because of
training budget restraints, transitioning pilots can only gain funding
for a CAPF 5 as a part of their annual Form 5 renewal. For those who
haven’t flown the C182’s yet, they are more stable and more comfortable
than the C172 and are expected to be preferred by all.
