5. Safety Presentation

6. Priorities Safe Operations Comply with Regulations and Instructions
Provide Flyable Aircraft
Maintain Pilot Currencies
Balance:
Recreational flying
Student training

7. Helping Out We are all part-time (even Joe).
We are a club, not an FBO or school with rentals.
This should reduce cost significantly.
Our maintenance glide path is probably not sustainable in the long run.
Our list of gripes has been slowly growing.
IMHO, the best course of action is to enable Joe and the maintainers to focus on the things that only they can do.
MWR financials, contracts, payments
Hiring and supervision of mechanics
Only the mechs can sign off on maintenance.
Things we can help with:
IT (computer, SkyManager, web site, Facebook)
Reports (monthly, annual, safety, and meeting minutes)
Facility (update posted material and pubs, organization, cleanup)
Aircraft Owner/Operator stuff (next slide)
