Fly With Us

Do you hold a FAA certificate? Do you have a love of aviation? If you answered YES to either of these questions, CAP might be a great fit for you.

Civil Air Patrol air crews are made up of at least 1 FAA certified pilot and typically two other non-pilot crew members.

The Blue Ash Senior Squadron 244 is in possession of a 2012 Cessna 182 G1000. Additionally, Squadron 244 Members have access to all other Ohio Wing Civil Air Patrol aircraft located across the state (currently 182s and a 172).

CAP is not a flying club, and while many of our activities have a flight aspect, we perform missions as assigned by the Air Force and the Civil Air Patrol Commander.  As a general rule, non-CAP members are not able to fly in our aircraft.

To become a CAP pilot you must first join Civil Air Patrol and complete your Level 1 Orientation training as part of the senior member professional development which can take 1-3 months depending on how much self study time the new member gives to the online training.  After completing Level 1, the new members would complete a first flight with a CAP instructor pilot and then a check flight. This check flight, often called a CAPF5 or Form 5, follows the FAA ACS and is very similar to your FAA check ride. This is accomplished every year with a CAP check pilot and along with the FAA Wings Program can serve as your BFR.

Squadron 244 currently has 4 Mission Pilots including one CFI/Check Pilot.
