Section C. Aircraft Facilities

 
Introduction
 In order to be recommended and selected as a “facility” by the Auxiliary, aircraft must meet specific requirements for equipment and condition.
 
C.1.  Aircraft Capabilities
 Auxiliary aircraft consist of various types and models, with a wide range of capabilities.  These aircraft are generally the property of individual members and are usually based at civilian airports located around the District.  The Auxiliary members owning or controlling the aircraft volunteer them to be used on missions.  If a partnership or corporation owns the aircraft, Auxiliarists must own or control specific proportions (see paragraph C.2 of this section) and must agree to volunteer the aircraft to become Coast Guard Auxiliary facilities.  Achieving this status requires certain equipment to be aboard the aircraft for any mission, or to be part of the aircraft itself, such as a dedicated very high frequency (VHF) antenna.  This equipment is specified in the Auxiliary Operations Policy Manual, COMDTINST M16798.3 (series).  Once accepted as facilities, such aircraft may be authorized for missions under Coast Guard orders.  When conducting authorized missions, these aircraft facilities are considered to be Coast Guard aircraft.
