Sky Watch

Sky Watch

Sky Watch, also known as Sky Watch Civil Air Patrol (SWCAP), is a volunteer civil aviation organisation founded in 2000 in the United Kingdom. The program federates efforts of small aircraft and microlight pilots to assist air traffic control and emergency services by looking for individuals in distress both on the ground and at sea, and providing additional search and rescue resources when called upon. While similar in function to the United States Civil Air Patrol, Sky Watch is considerably younger and does not have the same degree of integration with the Royal Air Force.
