To operate as a CAP Pilot in airplanes or gliders, the member must be current and qualified in accordance with which regulations?

• A. 14 CFR for private pilot or higher certificate
• B. CAP-specific regulations only
• C. 12 CFR
• D. 16 CFR

Answer: (A)

Being current and qualified to operate CAP aircraft is governed by the FAA regulations that cover who may fly and how they stay current. In practice, that means you must hold at least a private pilot certificate (or higher) for the aircraft category you’re flying (airplane or glider) and you must meet FAA currency and qualification requirements. Those standards come from 14 CFR, specifically Part 61 for certification and ratings and Part 91 for operating rules, rather than any CAP-only regulations. The other options point to regulations that don’t govern aviation operations (CAP-specific rules alone, or unrelated CFR chapters), so they don’t apply to piloting duties.
