There are more than 64,000 members of the Civil Air Patrol. In all, the CAP flies more than 100,000 hours each year performing important missions.

The CAP was formed in the early 1940s as an all-volunteer organization. Today the CAP continues to provide urgent search and rescue flights, air and ground support for disaster relief, flying officials and staff to remote locations, transporting essential medical supplies to accident sites and performing aerial damage assessment.

In the Civil Air Patrol Pilot addon, we bring to users of Microsoft Flight Simulator some of the many important operations that these volunteers fly each and every day. Using Flight Simulator they'll fly some of the same missions performing critical tasks that keep the CAP such an essential part of the our nation's resources.

For more information, visit the Civil Air Patrol website.

Note: Civil Air Patrol members are eligible for a special discount for this package. Please have your CAP ID available during Checkout.

Search and Rescue Missions
We created the Rescue Coordination Center to simulate operations. You'll be in contact with Center where requests for missions are handled. One of the major tasks of the Civil Air Patrol is to conduct search and rescue operations. The CAP staff categorizes the search patterns into one of five types, based on the terrain, environment, and other characteristics: Expanding Square Sector Circle Parallel Track Creeping Line ELT You'll fly missions which will use one of the above search patterns.
