Notes:
Dates: 21 Nov 19 - 22 Dec 19 Mission #20-T-3908. This will be a squadron based exercise. To be eligible pilots and aircrews will complete the winter briefing according to MINNESOTA WING SUPPLEMENT 1 ,CAP REGULATION 70-1 , 21 APRIL 2019, 9.10.5.6.2. Training should include storage of aircraft and installation of the baffles in the engine cowling. Proper storage with the blankets and heater plugged in. While doing a pre-flight look at doing all items that do not require the electric system 1st. The aircraft then can be started and run for about 5 minutes then the rest of the pre-flight with electrical can be completed. ( Do Not Skip Items.) Many pilots have found that when the batteries are weak it's best to see if the aircraft can be started first. Installation of battery maintainers will be coming soon. This is a great opportunity to train all positions for aircrews and use the CAP VHF radio in the aircraft.
