(Recorded by Rick Arias)

ATTENDANCE

Directors: Allen Scott, Adam Silverthorne, Rick Arias, Larry Levi, Sam Uhland, and Joe Emerson.

Members: Terry Finn, Jeff Bishop, Francois Redi, Norm Brudigan, Mark Shea, Griffin Schwarz and James P Smith.

Vice President & Safety—Adam Silverthorne

For safety, we discussed some accidents related to aircraft being misfueled with JetA. Always watch the fuel truck when filling away from home and test the fuel. JetA mixes surprisingly well with 100ll and can take 24 hours to settle. Learn what JetA smells like and a good idea to smell (not sniff) the fuel.

Scheduling—Renato Simone

A couple of reminders about the use of our scheduling system:

When canceling a flight state your reason.

When scheduling a flight state your destination airport in the "comments" section.

When conducting a 6 month club checkout, be sure not to note it as a club check ride. When entering squawks, please be sure to use the appropriate squawk sheet and do

not use the comments section in the schedule .
