CONDITIONS FOR FLYING HDFC AIRCRAFT
No pilot is to fly any club aeroplane unless they have flown within the previous 60 days. If the 60 days has expired, contact Chief Flying Instructor to arrange a check flight.
For hangar security, club pilots are required to close and lock the hangar doors whilst leaving the hangar unattended.
If a member wishes to take a club aircraft away for one or more nights, the aircraft must always be back for the monthly Pilot Proficiency Day. The aircraft must be flown for an average of 2 hours per day and is allowed to be away for a maximum of four days. Arrangements other than these can be discussed with the CFI.
HDFC aircraft uses Mogas 95 fuel for all operations. Pilots must be briefed on the correct use of the refuelling cart before any attempt is made at refuelling an aircraft. Contact Doug or a flying instructor for briefing.
