A current CAP member/pilot Flight has this to say about the Pilot Flight bag:

“I have flown with this flight bag on all my CAP flight for the last 6 months. The bag uniquely organizes all the items I need to fly our missions, including IFR charts and approach plates, and its size is perfect for C-172 and C-182 aircraft. I would not fly with any other flight bag.”

W.C. Courtney, Lt Col, CAP
CAPT, USN (Ret)

SkySectionals CAP Charts
www.capcharts.com

SkySectionals created a new line of charts that included the CAP search grid overlaid on each sectional. Plotting conventional CAP grids can become quite tedious. The grid overlay included on each CAP chart sectional provides the conventional CAP grid-15-minute by 15-minute quadrangle grids further subdivided into 7.5-minute A-B-C-D grids. The chart grid lines and identifiers are semi-transparent, making them easy to see while also ensuring that the chart information isn’t obscured. To see a how-to-use video or download a sample chart visit http://capcharts.com/tour.    SkySectionals CAP charts are sized perfectly for a kneeboard or a binder. And like all SkySectionals, the charts are provided electronically as PDF files for immediate download and printing after purchase.

Recognizing all that the Civil Air Patrol does to help the community and fellow pilots, a portion of the proceeds from every CAP chart that SkySectionals sells will be donated to the Civil Air Patrol Foundation to aid their efforts in providing direct financial support to missions and programs of the Civil Air Patrol.
