It feels a bit odd that spring may already be upon us, especially since it doesn't feel like we had a real winter...but far be it for me to complain about a longer flying season! Too bad my winter build list made very little progress.
As the new flying season arrives, I think it's a good time to remind everyone about being safe at the field. This of course, has been a large discussion topic the last few months with the suggested revision of field rule C, concerning pilots standing at the flight stations. While the revised text that Dan brought to the meeting was ultra-specific, it left little question as to where you should be located when flying. But as Lee mentioned, enforcement would not be possible. One thing that was not mentioned however, is that the field rules are there not only for your safety, but as backup when a members' actions become a problem. I still believe the rule should be slightly modified to prevent this from happening again, but that's for another time. There is one rule, that you won't find on the field rule sheet, that everyone should obey without question...common sense. We aren't your babysitters, and I'm pretty sure that Ed doesn't want to be out there slapping your wrists with a ruler because you're 8" too far from the flight station, so become your own safety officer and routinely ask yourself "Am I flying safely?" and let your common sense dictate. Beyond that, please talk to a club officer before making up your own rules.
On a lighter note, I'm not usually the type to forward random things to my email list...but I suggest you and your wives watch this for a good chuckle.
I tried to convince Erin to run around the yard for me, but no such luck...
Keep your altitude positive and your wings level,
