Electronic CAPF 5
• The current method of processing a CAPF 5 check-ride
involves using a paper-based checklist. The paper trail
starts with the check ride applicant presenting the Form 5
document to the check pilot. The check pilot completes the
form at the end of the check ride and hands it back to the
applicant. The form is then passed through the applicant’s
wing process for validation.

Electronic CAPF 5
• With the advent of technology and the mandate to move to
a paperless system by the National Board, it makes since
to change the current paper form to an online format to be
initiated, completed, and submitted by the check pilot. The
electronic form will be time saving and provide additional
trend analysis capabilities to meet our Statement of Work
responsibilities.

• Other than substituting an electronic form for the paper
form, the check-ride process remains the same.
• Completed copies of the document can be downloaded and
printed, as necessary.
• The online form will contain all of the current elements
found on the current Form-5 and trend analysis information
will be automatically submitted in real time.

Ardent Sentry
• On December 16, 1811, the New Madrid earthquake
struck an area where Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee
Kentucky and Illinois are in close proximity. It is believe to
have been a level 9 and felt in area of 50,000 square miles.
If a major earthquake of that intensity were to occur on the
New Madrid fault today, it could be the most devastating
natural disaster the Country may ever experience. A
number of state and federal agencies work together in
preparation.
