FROM THE TOWER: The June 2010 edition of the Bankstown ATC news circular has been published. This is a bi-monthly source of news and information to keep you informed of interesting and important events happening in and around the airport. In this issue, you can read about the changes to Class D from an ATC perspective. Download your copy HERE (299kB pdf). You can download previous issues from our Downloads page. DIAMOND STAR DA40: We proudly announces the latest addition to our aircraft fleet, the Diamond Star DA40, VH-DIV. This four-seat composite aeroplane is fitted with a Garmin G1000 and it is now available for training, endorsements and private hire. A special introductory package has been developed that includes a 1 day ground school and 2 hours flying training. More... ON-LINE BOOKING SYSTEM: We've put the finishing touches on our new on-line booking system! The old steam-driven, manual booking sheet is now a thing of the past and our new system is fully operational. Members are invited to contact the Club for login and operating instructions. More... AEROPLANE DATA ON LINE: Now available on the Aircraft Fleet and Downloads pages are Weight & Balance, Aeroplane Loading, and Take-Off & Landing data for most of our aircraft. Checklists are available for some of the fleet as well. Loading & Performance details for our Cessna fleet and Checklists for the entire fleet will be available shortly. Pilots should confirm the data before flight by referring to the Pilot's Operating Handbook and the Approved Flight Manual for the particular aircraft. NEW MEMBER APPLICATIONS: Prospective new members of the Club can download a Membership Application Form (44kB pdf) here. Note that it is still necessary for new members to attend the Club in person with photo identification before applications can be processed. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! The Club is once again in need of volunteer help. A couple of our duty pilot teams are in need of a few extra helping hands to cover their scheduled weekends. If the teams are full this means half a day about once every two months for each person involved. Are you willing to pitch in and offer your help? Please call Vivianne or Suzanne at the Club on 9709 8488 and have a chat to see what the volunteer duty pilot work is all about. Read Why be a Duty Pilot? by Peter Blackbourn. SCHOFIELDS FLYING CLUB is the premier Flying Club at Sydney's Bankstown Airport. In association with our training facility, the Sydney Flight College, we offer all levels of training and private aircraft hire in a friendly Club atmosphere. Advanced training includes commercial pilot licence, multi-engine endorsement, command and private instrument rating, instructor rating, and aerobatic and formation approval. Ground training courses provided by TAFE theory teachers in our well-equipped facilities.
CONDITIONS OF FLYING CLUB AIRCRAFT: Members are reminded that it is a requirement of the Club that you present your logbook, pilot's licence and medical certificate to the Duty Pilot or staff member for confirmation of currency prior to undertaking a flight. More details on our Aircraft Rates page and you can download the Terms and Conditions for Aircraft Hire with effect from 17 June 2010 (39kB pdf). CANCELLATION FEE: Our instructors are facing a recurring problem with late cancellations or late arrivals by students for lessons. Please remember that our instructors work on a casual basis and, if they don't fly, they don't get paid. So, if you cancel, your instructor will lose income for that lesson. If you keep on doing it, the instructor will impose a late cancellation fee of $50 and the office will send you an invoice. You will have to pay the fee before you fly again so, unless you have a very good reason, think twice before cancelling a lesson at short notice. EXTENDED BOOKINGS: Members wishing to hire aircraft for periods greater than one week will be required to pay 75% of the expected cost in advance of hire. LATE DEPARTURES & ARRIVALS: Flights departing or returning after 5pm should be booked only after prior arrangement with a staff member, instructor or committee member regarding out of hours operating procedures. |
