Under CAP Rules, He Must Have A Current CAPF5 For The “CAP Group” Of Aircraft Flown.

• Question #2: Can Any Pilot Act As A Safety Pilot With An Expired Medical?– No. Far 91.109(b)(1) Indicates That A Safety Pilot Must

Possess A Private Pilot Certificate. Far 61.23(a)(3)(i) Indicates A Pilot Must Hold At Least A 3rd Class Medical When Exercising The Privileges Of A Private Pilot Certificate. Therefore to Act As Safety Pilot (Required Crewmember) You Must Have A Valid Medical (Decision Rendered 6/17/85.)

Beginning 1 Hour After Sunset And Ending 1 Hour Before Sunrise• Night Proficiency – Per Don D.

– Qualified, Competent and SAFE Operations of Aircraft At Night• Includes Much More Than Three Takeoffs and Landings

• General CAP Pilots (If Planning Nighttime Flying)– Night Currency Mandatory– Night Proficiency Important

• Mission Pilots– Night Currency and Proficiency Is A Must

• Although Not Specifically Required Per Regulation, Lack of Night Currency Prohibits Availability For Night Missions
