Flying at TEMAC on the long weekendSince many people will be taking a long weekend for Canada Day, I expect many of our members to be flying at TEMAC. I know that I plan on flying Friday morning, Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning (weather and wife permitting).
Both the pits and temporary runway have been mowed. There are set-up tables, fences, and even a "porta-potty" may be installed by this weekend.
You must have your MAAC membership to fly, and you must have your wings certificate (or pin) to fly without an instructor. (If anyone needs an instructor, contact me).
The proper runway is still "off-limits" to us as the grass is beginning to grow. If you must land your plane on that area, just be careful. Also, please be careful should you have to walk on the adjacent farmer's land to retrieve a plane.
Again, please remember these main rules:
1. There is no flying over the pits section of the field; only over the eastern section of the field past the orange fence.
2. All flyers must be MAAC members; no exceptions!
3. Members without their pilot’s certificate must fly under the supervision of a club instructor.
4. All flyers must place a pin on the frequency board (on their frequency of course) before turning their transmitters on, and must remove the pin after turning their transmitters off.
5. Please take any garbage away from the field.
If you haven't been out to TEMAC yet, please come and enjoy your club. Any member is welcome to bring along an EMFSO member as a guest. Please bring sunglasses, as the sun will be in front-center for any morning flying.
