Dear Member,
I hope this note finds you in good health. Please take time to read through the following HAC update.
Covid-19 Mitigation Measures.
We are pleased to hear that our JRPSS Student has tested negative for Covid; however, our thoughts and support remain with him for a speedy recovery of his mother. This situation has come at a useful juncture and serves as a good reminder that this virus is all around us. Consequently, I have reviewed our Risk Assessment and am content that it is fit for purpose – however, this is only a true statement if the measures are conducted correctly by everyone.
I would therefore like to remind you of the following:
– If you are exhibiting symptoms or have tested positive for the virus, you must follow UK law – do not travel to the airfield.
– If there is any other reason that you suspect you may be carrying the virus (track & trace, personal contact, etc), you must follow UK law and not travel to the airfield.
– Read, understand and follow the HAC Covid Risk Assessment and broader UK Gov health guidelines.
In addition:
– If you are a person or live with a person suffering severe health issues – do not travel to the airfield.
– If you are a person that is at risk of losing employment if tested positive – do not travel to the airfield.
YOU are responsible for YOUR SAFETY. However, General Aviation is a discretionary activity and the latter 2 points will now be in place with immediate effect to minimise exposure to the those most at risk from the virus and its potential downstream consequences.
Until there is a vaccine, this Pandemic will continue. Meantime, we need to adhere to the ‘new normal’ mitigations and ensure that the HAC is in a good place for the future.
Stay Safe!
