N73307 is designated as a training airplane; previously scheduled training will take precedence over new cross-country trips. Cross-country trips take precedence over local and training flights for all aircraft other than N73307. However, the pilot wishing to preempt someone in order to go cross-country must contact all persons scheduled for local flights personally. </div> <bR> <div> Members failing to cancel time reservations are subject to being charged for it. </div> <bR> <div> Hour meter (Hobbs) readings (or tachometer reading if Hobbs is inoperable) will be used to determine flight time.

If a member has a mechanical or electrical problem that occurs away from the home field and if the airplane is unsafe to operate, attempt to contact one of the designated officers of the club for instructions on how to proceed. If the member is unable to contact a designated officer of the club in a reasonable period of time, minor repairs may be made to the airplane to enable it to return to the home field.</div> <div>  </div> <div> All members will comply with all relevant parts of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR’s), Club By-laws, and Club Flying Rules, and regulations of any airport where one of the Club airplanes may be operated.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Each member must obtain the information necessary to make a safe flight, including weather conditions, TFR’s, NOTAM’s, etc. For flights beyond the local area, a weather briefing is required. VFR pilots are encouraged to file a flight plan and to take advantage of Flight Following for cross-country trips. </div> <bR> <div> Members are responsible for securing the airplane on the ground at any airport with tie-downs, control lock, and wheel chocks. Members are responsible for having the airplane refueled after each use.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Members are expected to remove all trash (cups, candy wrappers, paper towels, etc.) from the airplane and leave the airplane in a clean, orderly condition after each use of the airplane. No smoking is permitted in club aircraft.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Violations of these rules can result in suspension of flying privileges or removal from the Club as determined by the Board of Directors. </div> <bR> <div> Student pilots must have a Certified Flight Instructor approved by the Club and all endorsements current before operating a Club airplane. Failure to have an approved CFI or proper endorsements shall result in the student being dismissed from the Club.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Certificated pilots must have a current medical certificate, current biennial flight review, and meet the current experience requirements for the type of flying they intend to engage in. A pilot who does not meet these requirements and operates a Club airplane shall be subject to disciplinary action that could result in suspension of flying privileges or dismissal from the Club.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Members who desire to schedule cross-county trips over holidays should choose one holiday each year and book it accordingly.
