COLD WEATHER AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS
As a result of winter operations across most of the United States with below normal
temperatures within the Southeastern U.S. and Hard Freeze Warnings that
continue along the Gulf Coast from east TX to central FL, ALL CAP Units are
reminded to observe COLD WEATHER AIRCRAFT OPERATION PROCEDURES.
Please review the attached FAA Advisory Circular # 91-13C for additional Information.
Additionally ALL Aircrews should review and brief emergency procedures related
to fire during start-up which has heightened risk due to cold temperatures. Cold
weather procedures within the Pilot Operating Handbook/Aircraft Flight Manual
(POH/AFM) of aircraft operated should be observed unless a known CAP
regulation is more restrictive.

imperative that incorrect databases NOT be used for arrival, departure, or approach operations. Any of the following
databases that contain incorrect data MUST be corrected before use:
1. Cycle 1001 databases downloaded from Wingman Services prior to January 12, 2010.

Reactive Safety Management
• Reactive style of management never
addresses the reasons of why mistakes are
made
• Humans will make mistakes, seldom
intentionally
• Must dig down and find out why a particular
type of error keeps “popping up”
• It takes more time, and requires a good deal
of patience, it is the best way to manage
safety.
Avoiding Car Fires Due To Phone Use
• Not all vehicles’ outlets are “live” when the
ignition is off, but some ARE
• If yours stays ON it can be REALLY scary. A
member left an I Phone charger/docking
station plugged into the van’s outlet.
• Charger over heated and started a fire, the
van was not drivable
Civil Air Patrol Safety, Facebook,
Twitter, Really It’s True!
• In an attempt to bring our members safety
information will periodically be posted to
Facebook and Twitter. You can find us on:
• Facebook

www.twitter.com/CAPSafe.
• These notices will typically point you back the
National CAP website, www.gocivilairpatrol.com,
What ARE WE Doing Right?
• About 600 near miss events or every major event.
Your expertise, which is often under reported and
under appreciated, often makes the difference.
Here are a couple examples:
– N.C. crew operating a C172 landed at an offsite airport
for refueling. During pre-departure magneto check,
one magneto did not function correctly and the crew
could not get it to burn off. Sortie #2 was canceled
and ground transportation was arranged.
– N.J. van, loaded with cadets, was rushed by a herd of
four deer. Diver maintained control, used appropriate
speed for conditions. Results: zero injuries

CAP’s Safety Suggestion database
• Kids under the age of 13 should not be allowed to walk the street
without an adult
• Wear good shoes for drill to protect feet.
• Store unused Charcoal in a small metal garbage can (with a lid);
damp charcoal can lead to spontaneous combustion.
• Never stand on a chair
• Keep a shovel in the CAP vehicles for snow or mud.
• To stay warm, remember "COLD“: Keep garments CLEAN, avoid
OVERHEATING, dress in LAYERS, remain DRY.
• Winter Driving Safety Tips; a) Decrease your speed and increase the
space. b) Brake gently c) If in a slide, turn into the slide. d) Keep
your lights and windshield clean. e) Turn on your lights to increase
your visibility. f) Be careful on bridges, and overpasses
CAP’s Safety Suggestion database
• Have cadets wear yellow reflective PT Belts when doing PT @ night.
• On FAA Flight Plan, make the secondary contact given to the FAA be the
Flight Release officer
• Have cadets wear yellow reflective PT Belts when doing PT @ night
• Install color coded tire pressure caps on CAP Vans and vehicles . They
show (Green) when "at" the desired PSI , Yellow when high and Red
when the tire PSI is too low . Cost $10 for a set of four. use the buddy
system when going anywhere on a cap activity away from the "group
• Use the buddy system when going anywhere on a cap activity away from
the "group
• Keep some clothes, shoes and a flashlight EXACTLY where you know where
they are when you go to bed.
• Take it easy when shoveling snow. Because if you are not in good shape
physically, you may have a heart attack.
