IER Duties
With effect from 1 Apr 26 Chiltern Gliding Club will assume ALL IER 2 duties and there will no longer be a requirement for HAC to provide IER2 manning.
On the (rare) occasions when CGC cannot fill the duty, the AFM will contact the Ops Mgr or HMC to provide an ad hoc volunteer.
The new system will be trialled for 3 months

Thank you Dave, Arthur, Ivor, Brian, Beverly and Louis for preparing the Club so well.

Security Passes
Members are reminded that their Station Security Pass is to be worn and visible at all times when on the airfield. For flight safety reasons, when on the flight line it may be secured in a pocket etc but must still be carried.

Halton Cross Section
The information in the Ops Mgr’s Update of 17 Jan 26 was incorrect! The cross section for Halton will not be produced at all after Sun 25th Jan 26. Instead pilots are to refer to the Benson Cross Section which can be found under the “Station Products” tab on MOMIDS and searching for Benson Cross Section.
The FOB will be updated accordingly at the Jul 26 review.

Fleet Update & RY Return
KI remains u/s with a flap issue. We await a weather/airfield window to get to Turweston for Vision to fix.
GA and TM are serviceable.
We have delayed planned date for return of RY to HAC until w/b 16 March (ie to arrive in time for Spring Clean on 22 March).

Airfield
The airfield remains waterlogged and will need a sustained period of dry weather to return it to a useable state.

Plogbook
There have been a number of updates to Plogbook the details of which will be highlighted when you next log on. Due to the lack of flying I have not been able to fully test the outputs to allow me to drop the use of manual Flight Data Sheets just yet, so please continue to complete them – when we resume flying!
