Midweek Soaring
Midweek Soaring is encouraged within our club. However, when club gliders are used then the midweek operations must be conducted similar to weekend operations:
- Someone must act as FM
- A logsheet must be filled out to show club glider flights
- Club gliders must be signed off as having had a prelight inspection
- Club gliders must be signed off as having been properly tied down when put away
- Student pilots must have a club instructor available at the field who is not flying the towplane during the student's flight.
- No instructor is required for licensed pilots.
When arrangements have been made, an e-mail must be sent to all Members, describing when towing and instruction (if available) will take place.
