Scheduling A Checkride
If you are a new-to-CAP pilot, consider taking a "Form 5 Familiarization" flight before an initial Form 5. This will ensure your knowledge of CAP-specific flight procedures ensures a successful checkride. A CAP instructor should recommend you for your first Form 5.
Each CAP pilot must complete a Form 5 annually. The pilot is responsible for contacting a check pilot and scheduling a checkride. Using your @ilwg.cap.gov account, you can access a list of ILWG check pilots here. Call or email the check pilot to schedule a checkride.
Preparing for Your Checkride
Your check pilot will send you a document detailing the expectations for your check ride. Each checkride is regulated by CAPR 70-1 and CAPS 72-6. Generally, the FAA ACS for the pilot certificate level is used for maneuvers. Proficiency in the aircraft used on the checkride is expected.
