GP II members,


We now have money available for mission aircrew training for April 2009. Mission symbol: A5, mission number: 09-T-4662 (be cretin to check WMIRS to see that this mission stays green and read "mission scenario") from April 1-30. This training is available on your personal schedule.



Pilots, remember, we are now using the WMU to schedule the aircraft.

Contact a flight release officer just prior to your flight



Please complete a CAP Form 104 with the total flight time, fuel cost and gallons used in the remark section. Be prepared to send your 104's to wing. For April you will need to contact our State Director, Bruce Berner at 609-351-3991 bruce.berner@mcguire.af.mil and LTC Gary Metz at 215-313-4513 garycap3@comcast.net for approval. Be prepared to send an e-mail to LTC Metz on what your training will be. You will need to contact both LTC Metz and Director Berner at least ONE WEEK before your flight. Please be proactive and plan your flights.



Please understand that the A5 Monthly training funds maybe small for PAWING, if any, so plan and get your request into LTC Metz, and ask him who will be the IC for your mission.



You will need to send a copy of your ORM Safety MATRIX with you completed 104 and 109 to wing and your IC.



Remember that the PIC will need to enter the flight information into WMIRS within 48 hours of the flight ending under the above mission number. NO LATER THAN 48 HOURS! If this is not done the pilot may have to pay for the flight.



Please look at WMIRS under current missions (mission numbers above) to see how PAWING would like us to handle these flight.

Mission training should have three crewmembers aboard if you can, if not, two. All pilots must be on the current Wing NHQs web based Flight Release Report, all other crewmembers must have a current SAR aircrew mission qualification or be in training. The PIC of your flight will need to check and be sure your crew members are current.



Know that the above is an ongoing on a monthly bases as long as funds continue to be approved.





Aircrew members please contact a Mission Pilot for this training, do not wait for a Mission Pilot to contact you.



Please do this training, it is good for us all.
