Officer Reports

· President – Brian Hood

Reported that setting up the Pre Authorized Payment system was lagging due to personal work load.

· President Elect – Dan Teifke

The new flight log system is up and running. Several members have been helping input flight data into the system following the weekend operations. So far this year about 80% of the tow cards I receive have already been entered into the system (meaning I don't have to do the data entry). This is greatly improving our ability to generate billing reports on a more frequent basis. If this keeps up, I see no reason why we can't do monthly billing cycles.

· Treasurer – Noel Wade

Presented the current financial information.

· Secretary – Doug Service

Not Present

· Operations/Website – John Gilbert

· Chief Flight Instructor – Dave Reusch

· Equipment Director – Tony Puglisi

1) The 1-34 will be out of annual by 18 Feb
2) The Astir is grounded because we did not comply with AD 2010-15-06 which
mandates a water ballast inspection by Oct of 2010. Will move up the annual
and have it performed at that time.
3) Towplanes 17Z and 30Y will be annualled by 28 Feb.
