When must CAP powered and glider pilots, and other CAP members who supervise aircraft movements, complete Aircraft Ground Handling Training?

• A. 12 months
• B. 18 months
• C. 24 months
• D. 36 months

Answer: (C)

Ground handling training is kept current on a two-year cycle to ensure everyone who oversees aircraft movements on the CAP ramp knows and follows safe, standardized procedures for moving, parking, marshalling, towing, fueling, and tie-downs. This training applies to powered and glider pilots as well as other CAP members who supervise aircraft movements, because they all interact with the same ground operations and safety hazards. Therefore, the required timing is within 24 months of taking on the supervisory duties, with recertification every 24 months to stay current. The 24-month interval is the period CAP uses for this recurrent training.
