Committment To Sky Watch CAP

Sky Watch CAP in common with other recognised voluntary organisations (e.g. Mountain Rescue, RNLI, etc.) has established standards of training and operational efficiency. On signing up to the 'Active List', pilots agree to the following commitments:-

Keep a look out when they safely and conveniently can during the course of their general flying - and call in any incident seen to Air Traffic Control for a land line 999 call to the Emergency Services.

Use the Sky Watch Operations Manual as a 'self-help' tool to learn the Air Observation and Search Techniques so that if they are called upon to perform a particular task they can carry it out effectively.

Carry out air observation flights in their area, preferably with an observer, looking for persons or property which may be at risk - e.g. in remote countryside, coastal areas, lakes and rivers etc.
