All,
Good evening, As a follow up to our conference call two weeks ago, FLWG is continuing to complete actions to move towards Phase I. We are still pending unit checklists to move forward into Phase 1. We currently have 42 out of 70 checklists. I ask your help in this area so we can move into our next phase of unit operations. Additionally, the FLWG Remob will be scheduling calls with units to assist in finalizing checklists. Lastly, please remember to continue on your annual inventories for your logistics and communications equipment.
Here are our latest updates

FLWG Group Structure Working
The job announcement for the FLWG Group Structure Working Group will be posted on 15 October. Members who are interested should apply according to the announcement. As a reminder, this working group will conduct an in depth review of the current group structure and provide recommendations as to the future structure of the wing. The working group will be chartered in November for a period of six months to develop recommendations to the wing leadership.
Operations/Communications/Health Services
NHQ has published updated guidance on current and new pilots via a CAP/CC Commander dated 29 September 2020. The memo can be accessed at: https://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/media/cms/29_September_CAP_CC_Memo__Extension_3CF4BD4B0C0F9.pdf. Additionally due to COVID-19 restrictions, aircraft and ES qualifications have been extended through the end of the year. The extension has made it possible that pilots can go as much as 20 months without a Form 5 evaluation. Due to the length of time, risk assessment changes have been implemented to ensure risks are elevated to the appropriate level. These changes will cause many sorties to be elevated to the SFRO level for approval. Please ensure that your aircrews and operations personnel are familiar with the change. If you have any questions, please reach out to the Wing A3 staff.
Thank you for your service and continued excellence
Col Luis Garcia, CAP
