Dear Member,
Please take time to read the following important information:
TUES 6 JUN – SOCIAL – CHIPMUNK FORMATION FLYING
This month’s Social is by Alec Trevett who will be looking at this highly-skilled type of flying. Starting at 1930hrs (pre-drinks 1900hrs), the cash Bar will be open, but we are not planning food this week. See you on Tuesday evening.
FUEL COMPOUND SECURITY
We have recently experienced an unauthorised emptying of the UL91 glass sample jars. These are a critical safety feature that would be analysed in the event of an accident. They are only to be emptied on the next corresponding day to make space for the next sample – for example, only empty TUESDAY jar into the jerry can when the sample jar is required for the next TUESDAY sample/water check. ALL HAC MEMBERS ARE TO CHALLENGE ANYONE THEY DO NOT RECOGNISE IN THE FUEL COMPOUND AND REPORT IT TO A STAFF MEMBER.
FLEET UPDATE
> GA – the brand new port main tyre has gone flat and should be rectified early next week.
> BJ – Serviceable.
> KI – Serviceable.
> TM – Our engineers are working hard to find/replace the cracked door frame.
> 3rd C-152 – we continue to monitor this requirement.
> CS – the aircraft is expected to move to its new home at Fife tomorrow – Bon Voyage.
UK TOUR – 7-9 SEPT 23
A few places are still available on this UK Mini Exped. Likely to be around 5-7hrs PIC per crew member, the night stops will be Blackpool and Newcastle. Please REPLY TO THIS EMAIL ASAP if you have not already signed-up and would like to attend this great learning adventure and make the perfect intro to the next overseas Exped. The first planning meeting will be scheduled soon.
2024 OVERSEAS EXPED
Following a brilliant French Exped, we are already looking at a major overseas Exped for next year. Possible destinations are Croatia and Italy. I plan to give a Tuesday Social late this year/early next year entitled ‘What’s the Exped All About?’. This and the UK Tour gives licensed members the ability to venture out of Buckinghamshire in a supervised and team environment – what is your excuse not to sign-up?
Fly Safe,
Mark
