Dear Member,
Please take time to read this important HAC update.
SUMMER SOCIAL – TUE 1st AUG – 1930hrs
This Tuesday is the HAC Summer Social. Everyone is welcome for this BBQ and a beer. See you there.
FLYING OPERATIONS REMINDERS
The following is a reminder from the DCFI on how we look after our fleet of aircraft:
> Do not overtighten oil fillers – this can lead to the filler neck detaching from the engine.
> It is mandatory to clean aircraft after every flight – do not forget to clean undercarriage legs, struts, leading edges and front/rear of propellers.
> Do not apply aircraft parking brakes in the hangar.
IN THE RED
All members have been placed in the RED. The RAF Halton Defence Aerodrome Manual (DAM) has been withdrawn and replaced with the (much smaller) Aviation Safe Operating Environment Manual (ASOEM). Please read the copy attached and be ready to fly as soon as you arrive at the HAC next time. There are no mid-year changes to the HAC FOB.
