1 BUILDING CAP S TEAM... FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW MARC and Unmanned Aerial Systems LtCol Randall Carlson AEO

2 CAP - MARC The Goals: To find constructive ways to nurture an interest in model aircraft aviation in local communities that youth can actively participate in. To encourage AMA clubs and CAP squadrons to work together to promote participation in aviation. To work with the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) to make the AMA Take Off And Grow (TAG) program, a collaborative effort. To encourage CAP membership to make MARC a part of their units AE, CP and ES programs.

3 CAP - MARC The Objective: To make aerospace education at the unit level more dynamic by providing a CAP Unit Commander and Aerospace Education Officer (AEO) with a broad encompassing model aircraft program for unit cadets and senior members.

4 Program History The MARC program grew from a need within CAP/AE to offer aero modeling to both cadet and senior members. MOU signed creating partnership between CAP and AMA. Free AMA memberships for cadets up to age 19 years the MARC CD was developed for all CAP members to have for unit and personal use. The NCSA RC Flight Academy program began in 2012 at the suggestion of the CAP Commander

7 MARC CD The Civil Air Patrol MARC Program is made up of the following learning modules: 1. Model Airplane Flight Programs a. CAP Unit Model Airplane Flying Program b. CAP/AMA TAG-Team Program c. CAP Florida Group-4 Model Aircraft flight CD 2. AMA TAG Program for learning to fly R/C a. Links to finding an AMA Chartered Club b. How to connect with an AMA Club 3. Plans of Model Airplanes a. The Denny Dart Mk III, No-Cal and paper & card, balsa wood airplane plans from Model Airplane Building Programs a. Paper, card, balsa wood, stick & tissue, tips and how to do it Gliders: Hand and Catapult Launched (glider plans, & airplane catapults 101) a. Bill Kuhl s "Building Model Airplanes Program

8 MARC CD The Program: 5. How to build flying model airplanes: Examples of how to from some of the best builders in the hobby Step-by-step written instructions Step-by step photo lessons How to build model airplanes of different construction: Paper Balsa wood Stick and tissue Lists of needed tools and materials needed Hints and tips from the pros

9 MARC CD 6. Plans for many different types of flying model aircraft: Owners/editors have given to CAP their plans freely for our use. Simply print the plans and instructions, buy balsa wood and build some model airplanes that are 4 to 60 years old. Simple Rubber band motor Denny Dart Mk III No-CAL rubber band powered profile airplanes Paper and card model airplane plans Model Airplane News Plans w/ instructions Flying Aces Magazine Plans w/ instructions Bill Hannan Master model builder plans No-CAL

10 CD The Program: Building a flying model from start to finish For the beginner in model aircraft building, sometimes the plans are not enough. They appear written in another language, or just do not make any sense. We have all been to this place, and it is frustrating. Many times, pictures or photos are worth more than all the written words in front of us.

31 MARC AEX II suav Workbook Safety: How to do it safely and to think safety On Aug. 2, for the second time in three days, a commercial pilot reported a drone while approaching John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. On Sunday, four commercial flights between 2,000 and 3,000 feet in the air spotted a drone while prepping for landing at Newark Liberty International Airport.
