3. Special Rules. Special rules for the pilots may be adopted from time-to-time by the Club's Board. Such rules when adopted and in effect are made a part hereof.

II. PROFICIENCY & CURRENCY

1. Initial Checkout: New members must be checked out by a Club-approved PFC Member Certificated Flight Instruction ("CFI") in one or more models of aircraft owned by the Club as provided in Schedule 1 hereto.
Initial checkride expenses, including the fee payable to the CFI, are included as part of the applicant’s initiation fee.

2. Experience. The experience requirements set forth in Schedule 2 attached hereto are necessary to operate Club aircraft unless waived by the Board.

(a) Only a Club member who (i) is in good standing in terms of payments owed to the Club, (ii) has satisfactorily completed required proficiency checks, and (iii) has met the experience requirements for the type of plane and flight to be conducted may act as pilot-in-command of a Club aircraft; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing a Club-approved CFI may act as pilot-in-command and provide dual instruction to a Club member in a Club aircraft.

(b) Subject to paragraph III. 2. below, the pilot-in-command shall occupy the left front seat of the airplane.

2. Right Front Seat Operations. A Club member may operate Club airplanes from the right front seat if

(i) the member is accompanied in the left front seat by a Club-approved CFI or Club member who is current in the model aircraft being flown and (ii) all takeoffs and landings are performed by the CFI or the Club member in the left seat unless the member has been approved for right front seat operations by a Club-approved CFI for the model aircraft to be flown. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any flight which is planned for instrument flight rule operations, without regard to actual weather, must be conducted from the left seat, unless the pilot is accompanied by a Club-approved CFII.

3. Preflight. Prior to flight, all aircraft must be inspected as provided in the pilot's operating manual for such aircraft. The pilot-in-command is encouraged to review previous pages of the aircraft's logs and squawk book (including any squawks noted on Schedulemaster or any other place designated by the Board). Satisfactory repairs must be accomplished before flight to any equipment or to alleviate any malfunctions or squawks noted in the aircraft's logs and/or on Schedulemaster or such other place designated by the Board if the aircraft may not be operated in a safe manner because of an equipment problem or malfunction.

4. Landings. Except in an emergency or as provided in Schedule 3 hereto, Club aircraft may only be landed on paved runways at airports included in the official Airport/Facility Directory.

5. Accident, Damage, Malfunction Reports.

If a dangerous condition exists, a note shall be attached to the yoke of the aircraft and the aircraft captain or lieutenant responsible for the aircraft should be notified immediately. If the aircraft captain or lieutenant cannot be reached, the Club member must contact the Chief maintenance Officer or one of the Board members.

7. Loading and Unloading. Passengers are not allowed to embark or disembark while the aircraft engine is running.

8. Cold weather flying. On the first flight of the day if the outside temperature is thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit (32F / 0C) or lower, or the outside temperature has been at or below twenty degrees Fahrenheit (20F / -7C) for more than 2 hours within 12-hours the preceding the flight, Club aircraft may not be operated unless a suitable pre-heating procedures are used. The cost of such pre-heating procedures is to be borne by the member using the aircraft personally.

10. Fueling. Members operating the Cessna 182 SMA (equipped with a Jet-A fuel powered engine) must be physically present at the time the aircraft is being fueled to ensure the correct fuel is being loaded. Members are not allowed to preorder Jet-A fuel over the phone from an FBO for the Cessna 182 SMA.

IV. BOOKING AND SCHEDULING

1. Booking. An aircraft may not be flown without a booking first having been made with the Club's scheduling service.

2. Booking Rules. In order to allow Club members to utilize Club aircraft as much as possible in a manner which insures just and fair availability for all members, the following rules for booking Club aircraft are to be followed:

(a) Booking Duration Limit: Unless permission is otherwise given in advance by the Board, extended cross country flights are limited to 12 days and should not infringe upon more than one weekend. A weekend is defined in this paragraph as Saturday 0001 to Sunday 2359.

(b) Loss of Booking Due to Lateness: If a member cannot arrive on time for a flight, the booking must be rescheduled or canceled with the scheduling service. A member arriving over 45 minutes late forfeits a booking unless it is overnight reservation (i.e., booking includes entire 9pm. through 6am period). Overnight bookings are forfeited after two hours.

(c) Number of Bookings: All members will be allowed 4 points for bookings. All bookings 4 hours and less are equal to 1 point, all bookings more than 4 hours will be equal to 2 points. In addition to the 4 points system of bookings, members may have a same day booking that does not extend beyond the current day. A compassion or angel flight booking will only be allowed weekdays Monday 0000 hours - 2400 hours Friday. Each member may only have one compassion or angel flight booking on the schedule at a time. A compassion or angel flight booking must be made through the Vice President. A compassion flight or angel flight is defined as a charitable flight by a Club on behalf of a recognized organization that sponsors this type of flight.

(d) Monthly Club Flights: Unless the Board selects an alternative time or decides to release the planes, n the Sunday following the monthly general meeting of the Club, all Club aircraft are reserved for a Club activity. If the aircraft will not be used for a Club activity, the Activity Chairman, President or a Club officer will release the aircraft. The monthly Club flights may occasionally be overnight flights requiring the Club aircraft to be reserved for two days or may occur on days other than the aforementioned Sunday.

(e) Deviation from Bookings Rules: Requests for scheduling arrangements in variance with these bookings rules should be made to a Board member, who shall present them to the entire Board for approval.

3. Cancellation of Bookings. A booking should be canceled as soon as a Club member is aware for whatever reason (including, IFR or marginal VFR weather) that the Club Member will not be able to utilize the Club aircraft that he has booked. In the event an aircraft returns to its home base more than 2 hours prior to the time for which it was booked, the booking should be updated to reflect that the plane is available for use by other Club members.

4. Alternate Bookings. In the event a Club aircraft is booked at a time that a Club member wishes to use the aircraft, the Club member may use Schedulemaster to request to be notified if the aircraft becomes available.

5. Return to Home Base. All flights should return to the home base by the end of the time for which the aircraft was booked. If poor weather or unavoidable factors prevent a flight from returning on time, a Club officer must be called and given: (i) the aircraft's location, (ii) a telephone number at which the Club member can be reached, and (iii) the expected time of return. The Club member shall also ascertain from the schedule the Club's members whose bookings will be effected by the delay in return and the Club member shall telephone such members to advise of the delay. If the aircraft is not booked until the expected time of return, the booking should be extended to such time.

6. Aircraft Left Away from Home Base. A Club member who must leave a Club aircraft at an airport that is not its home base is financially responsible for the return of the aircraft to its home base as soon as conditions permit. The aircraft must be left correctly tied down or hangared at all times while away from its home base.

7. Cross Country Operation by New Members. During the first ninety days of membership in the Club, a Club member may not fly a Club aircraft to an airport which is more than 300 nautical miles from the aircraft's home base, unless a waiver is obtained from the Board.

8. Grounding. Any two of the Club's officers and members of its Board may ground a Club member from using Club aircraft if they believe the Club member has operated an aircraft in an unsafe manner. A Club member who is grounded may request that the Club Safety Board conduct an investigation as provided in the Club's By-Laws and a Safety Board meeting will be held within 15 days to determine whether such grounding was warranted. Whatever the outcome, the member is not relieved of any financial responsibilities as described in the PFC

Bylaws.

V. FINANCIAL.

1. Payment of Dues and Charges. Monthly dues and charges for flying time shall be paid within fifteen (15) days after billing.

2. Delinquency. Any Club member who has failed to pay any monies due the Club within sixty (60) days after such monies are due shall be considered a delinquent member and shall be prohibited from flying Club aircraft.

3. Fees. All landing and parking fees are to be paid personally, if possible, by a Club member at the time of occurrence.

4. Fuel Charges. The Club credit cards should be used whenever possible to pay for fuel. If it is necessary to pay for fuel with a member's own funds, no deduction should be made from any bill owed to the Club. Reimbursement will be made by the Club to the member upon submission of a proper invoice. The Club's mailing address must be used on fuel charges, not the Club member's address.
