ALL CAP LICENSED DRIVERS - CAUTION!!!
Anytime you are transporting passengers in a CAP vehicle (seniors or cadets) you should have in your possession a current Form-60 for each passenger onboard (yourself included).
The "Emergency Procedures" form inside each Ohio Wing Vehicle's log
book requires that the driver (or another adult in the vehicle) contact
the family members of each passenger in the event of an accident.
Should a passenger be injured to the point where he/she is unable
to communicate, information provided on the Form-60 would be vital not
only for "procedure" but possibly to save a life.
THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION. THIS IS A REQUIREMENT.

ALCON,
To receive an approval of a CAP driving permit with either a "special vehicles" or a "FEMA trailer towing" endorsement, you must first send us an email explaining why your are qualified to receive such endorsements. It doesn't have to be anythin fancy or formal, just state prior driving experience that you have had to show you are entitled to such endorsements.
We will remove these endorsements from your application before approving your permit, if we have not received this email prior to a request for approval.

ALCON,
There were many questions from OHWG members after the OHWG Transportation
Office sent out the email concerning the use of Privately Owned Vehicles and the
need for CAPF-73 (inspection forms). Below is the official last word on the
subject from National Headquarters. As you can see (highlighted) this is not
about meetings and encampments.
The portion that is not highlighted, explains the part of the Regulation that
is of great concern to NHQ at this time. Written permission for the use of; and
a CAPF-73 for the daily inspection of POV’s is a must, when their use falls
within the parameters explained below ( from CAPR 77-1 Chapter 1 paragraph 8 a &
b).
Use of POVs for transportation to and from CAP
meetings, encampments and other activities is solely at the risk of the
individual CAP members and their passengers. CAP assumes no right of
control, liability or responsibility for such transportation. Unit commanders
must approve, in writing, justification for use of a POV as official CAP
transportation, when adequate COVs are not available for such purposes. Approval
is limited to unusual circumstances where lack of transportation or capability
for CAP members adversely impacts important activities. Prior to granting such
permission, the member must produce evidence of insurance coverage, state
inspection (if required) and registration. Written approval for use of a POV
will be maintained on file in accordance with CAPR 10-2, Files Maintenance and
Records Disposition.
Thanks for your patience while we sorted this out,
Carl Woodruff, Lt Col, CAP

ALCON,
NHQ would like OHWG Transportation to stress to all members that the following National Headquarters Regulation must be followed at all times.
CAPR-77-1 para 2-1(a) states that privately owned vehicles used for official CAP transportation must be inspected using a CAPF-73, just like our corporate owned vehicles, prior to operation each day.
Please be sure that this regulation is being followed. If anyone out there, who uses their own vehicle for CAP transportation needs CAPF-73’s, let us know, and we will provide them for you.
