Flying Site Etiquette |
|
|
First and Foremost, be courteous to others.
Observe the type of flying that is taking place at the moment and then
join the fun or wait for a break in the action so you can change to your
particular style of flying. Also, refrain from making back-to-back
flights when others are obviously waiting for you to finish.
Let's all use the same runway. Taking off and/or landing on the runway not designated by the indicator plane, located at the intersection of the 2 runways, is very dangerous. No one flying can see what you are doing and if you lose control of your plane, you are putting people in harms way unnecessarily. When taking off to the North or to the West, the general flight pattern is with right hand turns. The landing pattern is also done with right hand turns. If you are having a problem making right hand turns in this situation, please request help from one of the instructors and learn to fly a horizontal figure 8 pattern without gaining or losing altitude. If you can fly that pattern properly, you should have no problem making right turns on landing approach. Learn how to land. If you can't land properly, you can't fly. Remember, take-off is optional. Landing IS mandatory. Since the beginning of flight, we've never left a plane up there. When you fly, shoot several landings. practice makes perfect. Landing planes will always have the right of way. Please check to see if there is a plane attempting a landing before you taxi out on to the active runway for a take-off. Call out your intentions to other pilots who are flying. The start up stands are for start up and minor engine adjustments. If you must make extensive engine adjustments or break in an engine, please use the stand by the concession building. Do not run engines under the pavilions when there are other people present. ALL engines are required to have mufflers and are expected to meet our posted noise standards. The dumpster is not to be used for personal or business trash. It is there by courtesy of BFI and their relationship with one of our club members. We would like to continue this relationship. Please do not haul your castoffs out to the field for disposal. If you find one of the garbage cans by the pavilion full, empty it into the dumpster. If you see trash on the ground or tables, pick it up and place it into the trash cans. The last CLUB MEMBER to leave is responsible for locking up the buildings and the gate.
