Teachers: It is time to take flight with CAP

December 13, 2024

CAP members who are educators are eligible for one TOP flight per fiscal year. Our new fiscal year has begun; so NOW is a great time for teachers to fly over their schools and communities!

Teachers, to request a flight, contact your state’s volunteer Director of Aerospace Education (DAE) as found on the list HERE. Provide your CAP ID#, the city where you live, and your cell number to help them coordinate with their Operations team to get you a plane and pilot at an airport near you -- to get you into the air!

After a pre-flight briefing, teachers can try out the controls and fly the plane. The pilot can then come visit the classroom to carry on the experience. 

  • Teachers, get your certificate signed by your pilot and do not forget to complete the easy online evaluation afterward.

  • Share some good photos with your pilot to ae@capnhq.gov and you may be featured on our @CAPaerospace Facebook page! 

Wing DAEs, please note that the FY25 funds are loaded and ready for TOP flight coordination.
