CLXI
H. After the Sortie
1) Remove all your equipment from the aircraft, if necessary
2) Clean the windows
3) If no more sorties will be flown in the aircraft, replace the
aircraft window screw (and bushing or washer) and secure
the aircraft
5. Debrief
A. Transfer your photos to a computer as soon as possible, and
then verify the pictures were successfully and completely
transferred by looking at each photo on the computer before you
erase the photos on the media card
Some mission bases will just have you give them the media
card. In this case, be sure to put one of your spare cards back in
the camera, check that it is empty, and put the camera back in its
bag.
B. Take a short break and then meet to complete the CAPF 104:
1) Fill in or verify 'ATD' and 'Actual Landing Time'
2) The Summary section describes what you accomplished on
the sortie
3) The Results/Deliverables section can be as simple as "no
sightings" or "no damage noted." However, you must list
results such as sightings (including negative sightings), the
number of photos you took, etc.
4) The Weather Conditions section can be as simple as entering
"as forecast." However, if the weather was unexpected it is
important to explain how the weather conditions affected
sortie effectiveness
5) The Remarks section is for entering any information you think
is pertinent or helpful that was not entered elsewhere on the
CAPF 104. It also gives the crew a chance to comment on
the effectiveness of the sortie in detail.
6) The Sortie Effectiveness section involves a quantitative
assessment of how well you accomplished your mission.
7) The Attachments & Documentation section is self-
explanatory. Be sure to label any attachments (e.g., mission
and sortie number) so they can be related to the
mission/sortie if it accidentally becomes separated.
6) Ensure the 'Hobbs To/From' and 'Hobbs in Area' entries
equal the 'Hobbs Total' hours entry
7) Ensure all entries and sketches/drawings are clear and
legible
