Flying tomorrow Friday August 18th

I can be also, but need instructor and tow pilot

Hello:

Hopefully tomorrow and Saturday are not as breezy as Rockford (KRFD) today.  Winds are now 28015G22KT.  It will not be a fun day with a 24 mph wind.

Pop quiz:  what are the wind limits for a 2-33 glider?  What are the club limits?

Regards,

Rich

Hello:

The Pop Quiz Answer:

For 2-33 limits I will let you keep searching.  Ask an Instructor if you do not know.

Club rules are to Suspend Flight Operations if…
● Wind exceeds 20 KTS or gusts exceed 25 KTS.
● Crosswind component is in excess of POH limits or excessive for pilot experience.
● Approaching storm.
Student pilots are limited to;
o logbook endorsements.

No flying for students if
o Tailwind for aerotow takeoff exceeds 5 KTS.
o Tailwind for landing exceeds 5 KTS.

o Visibility is less than 3 miles.
o Ceiling is less than 1500 ft. AGL.
o Field conditions are unsuitable.
o Approaching storm conditions.
o Student pilots require a CFI-G to be present.

Regards,

Rich

Hello:

I see you and Andy on Book Our Plane. I took today off and can come out and help around 1230.

Nick will be out to tow around 1230, John can instruct. I’m working on tomorrows safety review presentation for our monthly meeting. Not sure if I’ll be able to make it out today.
