Civil Air Patrol (CAP) is a congressionally chartered, federally supported non-profit corporation that serves as the official civilian auxiliary of the United States Air Force (USAF). CAP is a volunteer organization with an aviation-minded membership that includes people from all backgrounds, lifestyles, and occupations. The program is established as an organization by Title 10 of the United States Code and its purposes defined by Title 36. Membership in the organization consists of cadets ranging from 12 to just under 21 years of age, and senior members 18 years of age and up. These two groups each have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of pursuits; the cadet program contributes to the development of the former group with a structured syllabus and an organization based upon United States Air Force ranks and pay grades, while the older members serve as instructors, supervisors, and operators. All members wear uniforms while performing their duties. 
The Civil Air Patrol communications system includes thousands of HF and VHF radios with trained operators across the United States. The system operates in support of all CAP missions, including Emergency Services, Aerospace Education and the CAP Cadet Program. The focus of the CAP system is tactical communications, including air to ground, ground team to ground team, and communication with mission base. Interoperability with other agencies is stressed. In most cases, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is signed with each agency before operation on each other's frequencies. Civil Air patrol communications regulation has been updated to clarify recent governance changes, and clarifications of existing policy. Major changes include: revises guidance on communications plans, exercise planning, and communications reports; eliminates 180 day deadline for ICUT skills evaluation; expands guidance about spectrum management; requires updating of the online repeater directory to reflect sites in and out of service; addresses communications program leadership development; clarifies networks, traffic types and logs; defines broadcast traffic; introduces the concept of calling channels; provides details about emergency communications; addresses inter-operation with military units; updates guidance about use of amateur radio by CAP members; addresses use of Part 15 devices such as WiFi; restricts ISR radio channels 10 and 11 from use by CAP; clarifies methods for CAP support to other agencies; expands guidance about use of memoranda of agreement; adds compliance items as attachment 1; and moves definitions of terms to attachment 2 and expands the list 
Seaplane Civil Air Patrol In Puget Sound, Washington State were many islands have no land airports can be effectively performed by seaplanes or floatplanes for air-sea rescue-relief operations. Historically these seaplanes were the pioneering approach used in Emergency Sea Search and Rescue Operations to pick up downed aviators, sailors, delivery of supplies to remote islands or coastal shorelines where land aircraft has difficulties in the water flight operations. Seaplanes aircraft design provide search and rescue requirements for immediate ocean, sea, water airflight rescue, as seaplanes can land on the water, reach beach heads in an emergency and regain flight operations. Seaplane have many distinctive advantages, such as ability for long range flights, endurance, payloads and the ability to stay on station for long periods of time are viewed as essential aviation emergency requirements as rescue aircraft support to coastal water shorelines, where no airport land strip exists. Radio communication equipment is necessary for contact with land to sea vessels and coastal shoreline communities. In Major Emergencies or Disasters relief operations, seaplane communications is critical to distress vessels of coastal communities. By partnering with the Amateur Radio Operators, can provide effective communications between Seaplane and ground stations. Seaplane training and hazardous weather accidents can require specialized seaplane operations for rescue mission, as seaplanes are occasionally used for emergency disaster response. Seaplanes, like all emergency aircraft have limitation do to unfavorable weather or disaster conditions,where aircraft could not safely land. Seaplanes can drop emergency supplies or be utilized as communications between air to ground or to guide other emergency operations to specific location. Below are listing of Puget Sound Seaplane Commercial Services, These Seaplane could be utilized for Coast Shoreline Community Emergency relief Operations. It is Fwarc intent to seeking cooperation and enlist and organize a "Seaplane Civil Air Patrol Squadron" Seattle Seaplanes 0W0 206-329-9638 CallsignKenmore Air W55 PH: 866-435-9524 customerservice@kenmoreair.com Callsign
