Evergreen Soaring Operational Rules

Operational Rules

Operational rules are a set of common expectations so we can operate safely, predictably, and efficiently. Hopefully you will find that the vast majority of what is documented here is current best practice and no surprise. These practices are consolidated here where it is easy for new members to find and learn them, and others to refer to them as needed.
I am always looking for comments for this policy document. Please email me at xcsoaring, or contact any board member, with any comments.
