Currency and checkouts
Every flying member completes a checkout with a club-approved instructor before acting as pilot in command, plus recurrent training as required by the by-laws and FAR 61.56/61.57.
Scheduling
Reserve the airplane in FlightCircle, our online scheduler. Cancel promptly if plans change so other members can use the time. Multi-day trips are welcome — you are an owner here, not a renter.
Billing
Flight time is billed on Tach time at the posted hourly rate, which is wet — fuel is included. Insurance is carried by the club and funded by an annual assessment. Dues are due monthly; delinquent accounts lose flying privileges until settled.
Airport access
N2223R is based at Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (KCHA). Ramp access requires a badge issued by Chattanooga Airport Security, which flying members obtain after acceptance.
Maintenance and squawks
Report every discrepancy to the maintenance officer immediately, in writing. Never fly an aircraft with an open airworthiness squawk. Keep receipts for any fuel or oil purchased away from home base for reimbursement.
Care of the aircraft
Leave the airplane cleaner than you found it: hangar or tie down properly, install the control lock and covers, secure the keys, and top the tanks per club policy.
Safety culture
No pressure, ever. If weather, the airplane or you are not up to the flight, cancel — nobody in this club will second-guess that decision.
