The pilot last reported his position about 44 miles west of Denver, .conﬁrmed by radar, at about
13,000 feet. The mountains in this
area range from 11,000 to 13,000
feet. The dangerous altitude of

that, because of stormy conditions,
he was turning back to Kremmling. The aircraft was not heard

Aviation Agency Will Hold
Eight "Air Share' Meetings
~ " WA S H I N G TO N - - T h e F e d e r a l
Aviation Agency has scheduled
eight regional Air-Share meetings
to be held between April 18 and
30. to allow interested parties to
discuss proposed changes in regulations covering general aviation.
The conferences will be devoted
t o e x p l o r i n g t e n t a t i v e FA A p r o posals for revision of civil air regulations concerning general avlat i o n . L a t e r, w h e n p r o p o s e d r u l e s
are written, formal comments from
lntere#ted parties will be sought
by the agency. An Air-Share meeting will be held in each of the
FAA's seven regions and in Washlngton for the convenience of the
entire general aviation community.
In more than 100 similar previous meetings, the FAA has received suggestions, criticisms and comments volunteered by individuals
and groups. They have been carefully analyzed in preparing the
agenda for the April meetings. Discussion will be conﬁned to this
agenda. However, if time permits,
other matters may be discussed.
Proposed rule changes scheduled thus far for the agenda
include requirements for additional instrument ﬂight equipm e n t - - c a r b u r e t o r h e a t e r, p l e a t
tube heater, an alternate source of
power for gyroscopic instruments,
an alternate source of static pressure, and vacuum gauge or means
of power failure warning.
Other proposals:
Subclasses of certain types of aircraft would be speciﬁed on which
transitional pilot ﬂight checks
would be required before carrying
passengers. For example, aircraft
w i t h o u t r e t r a c t a b l e l a n d i n g g e a r,
controllable propeller and wing
ﬂaps would be included in one subclass.
Three, instead of ﬁve, landings
a n d t a k e o ff s w i t h i n t h e p r e v i o u s
00 days would be required as recent ﬂight experience for pilots
qualifying on a different subclass
of plane. Recent experience requirements for night ﬂight would
be deleted, but pilots holding a
commercial certiﬁcate without a
notation of night ﬂying experience
would be required to take a checkout ﬂight. "Grandfather" rights
would be provided for presently
certiﬁed pilots.
Helicopter pilots would be required to select paths for takeoffs and landings that would permit emergency landings without
undue hazard to passengers or to
persons and property on the
ground.
One instrument approach to the
bwest authorized minimums would

be required as recent instrument
ﬂight experience. This could be accomplished In a ﬂight under the
h o o d o r i n a s y n t h e t i c t r a i n e r.
Cross-country experience in an
airplane under actual or simulated
conditions would be required as
a prerequisite for an instrument
rating in airplanes.
All large aircraft designed for
two pilots would be required to
have a co-pilot in the crew. Private
pilots would be allowed to serve
as co-pilots provided the airworthiness certiﬁcate of the aircraft or
other operations rules do not require a co-pilot.
Other items involve consideration of changes in the rules for
displaying aircraft documents, retention of records on aircraft and
engine inspection and the establishment of new maintenance or
time-in-service records when previo~ records have been lost.
Reasons for the Industry's relatively small use of progressive Inspection systems will be discussed.
Proposed requirements that aircraft instruments and equipment
be in serviceable condition before
a takeoff, that ﬂotation gear be required on all aircraft ﬂying over
water with passengers -- and not
only for those carrying paying passengers -- will be on the agenda,
as will a proposed change of time
for checking VOR accuracy from
10 days and 10 hours to 30 days
and 30 hours. Miscellaneous items
affect ﬂight crew members during
periods of physical deﬁciency, permission for student pilots to ﬂy In
furtherance of a business, and a
clariﬁcation of the "share expense"
rules for private pilots.
The meetings are scheduled as

through a misconception. A "woman driver" not content to merely
provide her car with fuel, she inquired about the possibilities of
taking a course in mechanics.
That was In 1934. Male students
of a proposed course were consuited and agreed to the admission of a woman to the class. A
s u r p r i s e f o r Va n w a s t h a t t h e
course turned out to be in aircraft mechanics, not automobile.

learned mechanics, taken ﬂying
lessons, bought an open cockpit
biplane and obtained her pilot's
license.
The early-model planes she ﬂew
included the OX5 and her Own
1929 model Travel-Air.
The thoroughness of her rescue
training program is visible in a
comprehensive 100-page ground
training manual which she authored.
The manual covers about every.
thing from the rescue team mission to ground rescue equipment
t o b e u s e d i n d i s a s t e r, ﬁ r e , ﬂ o o d ,
tornado and explosion, as well as
for plane-crash rescue; safety rules
to prevent fatal accidents; counterdoses for poisons and overdoses,
and emergency feeding, including
infant formulas.
Before Pearl Harbor, Van was
one of the early pioneers active
in organizing Civil Air Patrol.
She is believed to be the only
woman accepted for duty in the
Army's Atlantic roast patrol;
h o w e v e r, h e r o r d e r s w e r e r e selnded because of a lack of
housing for women.

SELECTED as one of seven outstanding women in public service,
Van recently was taken on "Operation Understanding," a tour which
was part of the program of Army
Defense Command to acquaint the
public with the capabilities and
complexities of our air defense
weapons system and also to provide the opportunity to those on
the tour to see missilemen in action. The itinerary included travel by military aircraft; informative non-technical brieﬁngs; oh-,

Plymale scored 563 out of 600 possible points to
take the number one position in his class, class
average being 371.
As a member of the varsity trackteam, he set
the Academy and Field House record for the pole

The life of a West Pointer is a full one.
The sounds of reveille shake him out of sleep
at 5:50 a.m., and he begins a day which demands
strenuous effort.
There are at least three classes lasting an hour
or more each, and perhaps a laboratory period as
well. With classes averaging 14 students, the cadet
will almost certainly participate in a discussion,
recite, or solve a problem at the blackboard.
"I am most impressed with the educational syst e m h e r e , " M r. P l y m a l e c o m m e n t e d , " i t o f f e r s a
real challenge." Each cadet is placed in a class
with cadets, of equal academic standing, and as a
cadet becomes capable of learning more, he is placed
ill a more competitive class. "I feel that this provides us with greater initiative to learn," he coneluded.
The educational objective ~ to produce a graduate with an analytical and probing mind, a man
aware of the vast technological problems of the
space age, for the Army ofﬁcer of the future must
meet the challenges of the times Just as he has in

and emphasis is now upon moulding the "whole
man" who can meet the challenges of the '60s and
'70s.
In terms of classroom time, about 60 per cent
of the present standard academic program is devoted
to science-engineering subjects, while the remaining 40 per cent is in the social science and humanities ﬁeld.
The Advanced Studies Program, which was expanded in 1959, offers a real challenge to the more
capable cadet. Elective courses enable the student
to proceed into areas wherein lie his own interests
and aptitudes. In recent years emphasis has been
increased in the areas of nuclear physics, electronics,
astronautics, and the history, government, economics
and culture of countries of the non-Western world.
W i t & h i s c l a s s e s c o m p l e t e f o r t h e d a y, t h e
cadet often turns to athletics or other extra.
curricular activities. There are a total of 16
Intercollegiate sports N a complex schedule
that keeps nearly half the corps engaged
throughout the year.
For the rest of the corps there are intramural
s p o r t s - - " i n t e r m u r d e r, " t h e c a d e t s c a l l i t - - a
highly competitive athletic slate pitting each cadet
company (there are 24) against one another for
championships In almost 20 sports. Each company
enters a team in each competition, and almost every
man plays three different sports during the year.
We s t P o i n t p r o v i d e s m o r e t h a n 6 0 e x t r a - c u r r i cular activities, a list as varied as it is long; student
government, publications, hobby clubs, the Glee
Club, language, literature and science clubs, skydiving, skin-diving, and art are Just a few.
These organizations are administered and directed almost entirely by the cadets themselves.

It can seldom be boring, for the challenges are many,

a very competent suggestion, and
it would do much to further our
organization as well as make our
members more readily identiﬁable.
However, last year the State of
Illinois for the ﬁrst time incorporated letter preﬁxes on its license plates for private passenger
cars. Prior to this time the letters
had been restricted to plates displayed on trucks, buses, taxis,
emergency vehicles, those vehicles
belonging to radio hams, and disabled veterans' cars. The new "letter plates" are composed of two~
and only two--letters followed by

four-digit numbers.
Considering that it took the state
so long to use the letters, I wonder how willing it would be to
initiate a three-letter plate, not to
mention the added expense of production and record-keeping. Perhaps if told that this idea would
serve not only to assist CAP members but also to increase the prestige of the state itself, the state
might see its way clear to-endorse the new system. After all,
the radio hams rate special plates,
so why not an organization of equal
importance?
My idea of the perfect "CAP
plate" would be to have the preﬁx letters "CAP" followed by a
designated number and have the
colors reversed in relation to the
regular issue of plates. A second
suggestion would be to use the
letters "CAP" and a number and
have the plates colored red and
blue on a white background. In
either case it would be eye-catch, JAMES JOHNSON

H A W K M O U N TA I N , P a . - - A
total of 227 Pennsylvania cadets
received basic and advanced instruction at the wing's annual winter Ranger survival school held
recently at the Ranger training
base in the heart of the Blue Mountains, 34 miles northwest of Allentown, Pa.
Cadets reported into the base for
registration after traveling from
squadrons throughout the state in
private cars, unit trucks and other
vehicles. They were promptly
ordered to fall in for inspection of
equipment, this being carried out
by Ranger Section staff ofﬁcers
headed by Lt. Col. John N. Weaver,
Wing Ranger Commander and base
commandant.
He was assisted by Capts. Bryan
Schaeffer, John McNabh and Clarence Green, all staff members.
After this inspection, basics were
separated from those for the advanced training. Groups were then
assigned to two U.S. Marine Corps
non-commissioned ofﬁcers and one
Navy medical corpsman for a
series of lectures. The Marines
were Gunnery Sergeant Michael
Pavick of the Allentown Recruiting station, for basic, and Corp.
Joseph Kuzma of the Pottsville Recruiting Station, for advanced, and
Navy Corpsman Carl Gush of Allentown.
The 972nd Signal Company, U.S.
Army, stationed at Tobyhanna Signal Depot in the Poeono Mountains,
sent a detachment of 18 men to
take the course. Once all troops
had been inspected and lectures
ﬁnished they began the problems
that made up the training program.

ALL TROOPS bivouacked over
night within the areas in the mountains in which they were training.
Subjects covered included ﬁeld
sanitation, ﬁrst aid, ground navigation, communications, construction
of shelters in woods, handling of
casualties, and search patterns
and techniques.
Field church services were held
at the base at Hawk Mountain.
Catholic services were conducted
by the Rev. George P. Schneider
of Bromall; Protestant services by
the Rev. Alvin Paine.
Wing liaison ofﬁcer, MaJ. William NeUigan, USAF, reported to
the camp and made the overnight
ﬁeld trip with the advanced group
of cadets.
The Wing Ranger training
base at Hawk Mountain was es.
tablished some eight years ago
and is used for both summer
and winter training of cadets in
the air and ground search and
rescue program. The Ranger
training program, however, has
been running for 15 years.
The winter training is designed
to'test the effectiveness of ground
personnel to operate under frigid
or adverse weather conditions.
Each cadet is required to provide
his own food and shelter for a
weekend in the deep woods.
Field communications this year
were handled by Capt. Jack Silherlicht of the Honesdale Squadron,
operating out of a new bus provided by the joint Junior-Senior High
School Board at Honesdale. Personnel registered In from squadrons based in virtually every section of the state, there being 37
Ranger or ground interrogation
teams in the wing.
