All IP’s are certified by FAA in their respective categories. The IP’s are selected by the Chief Instructor Pilot in each category and most of them will have had a number of years of prior experience instructing, including CAP Flight Academies. The basic criteria, is experience. Any new academy IP has to present his/her logbook and other related documents for review prior to being selected and approved. In addition, all IP’s are CAP members and must meet all other CAP currency requirements.
