Responsibility

 

  1. In all cases, whether local or cross-country, each owner-member shall perform their preflight planning, obtain an approved FAA weather briefing and perform a walk around inspection of the aircraft prior to each flight. SAFETY NOTE: VFR cross-countries over 100 nautical miles, a flight plan is strongly encouraged and recommended. In addition, each owner-member shall service the aircraft at the end of his/her flight, sign oil and gas receipts as applicable, complete all items on the flight record book and to report any malfunctioning aircraft to the Vice-President. A notation shall be documented in the flight record book and on the maintenance board at the main hangar of all mechanical and/or performance abnormalities encountered before, during and after the flight. The aircraft shall be placed in its tie-down position or in a Corporation hangar unless the next owner-member is on hand to assume possession of the aircraft.

 

  1. Owner-members must carefully and legibly record their flying time in the book provided in order that the Treasurer may properly bill them for the total flight time each month. Flight time is defined as the time recorded on the hour meter in the aircraft.

 

  1. Any gas an oil or other maintenance purchases made away from the home field (Fulton County Airport) are to be paid for at the time purchased and the receipts signed and given to the Treasurer so that the latter may reimburse the owner-member directly. Any gas or oil purchases made away from the home airport will be credited at the rate of the home airport. The difference in home airport price and purchase price is the responsibility of the owner-member.

 

  1. When the ambient temperature is thirty (32) degrees Fahrenheit or below, it is compulsory that all aircraft be preheated at least fifteen (15) minutes prior to flight and duration of flight must be at least one hour each. Each pilot is responsible to obtain help by pre-arrangement if he or she is unfamiliar with the preheat procedure.  No repeated take-off and landings shall be permitted when the ambient temp is twenty (20) degrees Fahrenheit or less.  

 

  1. There shall be no smoking in the club aircraft or in the clubhouse or hangar area and any fines or disciplinary action toward violators shall be decided by the President or at the Board of Director’s discretion.

 

  1. In event of mechanical failure of the aircraft, the Corporation bears all expenses for charges for repairing the aircraft. However, the expense of returning the aircraft bears with the owner-member. Transportation, motel bills or meals are the responsibility of the PIC. In any event, the President or a member of the Board of Directors shall be contacted, and consider each case and its merit.
