1. Overnight Cross Country Reservations
(Policy Reminder)
Boeing Employees’ Flying Club
Send Safety Officer (Chris Heyrman) itinerary including
Aircraft you want to take, dates of trip, route of flight and any stops, estimated flight time during the trip, destination airport with FBO phone number, your contact information
In the event Chris is unavailable, another board member can be contacted. Please CC Chris when contacting another board member.
After receiving approval, you may reserve the aircraft in Flight Circle (FC)
Failure to obtain approval will result in the cancelation of your reservation
Remember to select the long x/c reservation type in FC
If your trip is canceled, remove your reservation in FC. If canceled within a week of the trip, a courtesy to inform other members the plane is available is appreciated.
Filing a flight plan is recommended. Don’t forget to close it when you land.
Using 1800wxbreif.com allows you to file, open and close VFR plans online
See section 8.4 of the club operations manual for full text of the rules
