Flying report Sunday 13/Oct/13
Hi
all.
Sunday's
flying report as derived from my memory of events
(expect gaps).
Today's
Duty Crew were met early by Steve Bowtell to discuss
the recent return to operation of our tug SPA. While
rostered Tuggie Mike Grady continued discussions with
Steve, the rest of us began other preparations for the
day's expected activities.
Duty
AEI Chris Weir prepared CQC for first a passenger
flight and later a friend, Duty Instructors David
Higgs and Mick Moloney managed GYK (Thanks again to
Bert and "Speedy" for the quick return to
service), and I loaded up the Pie Cart. While
this was happening, new members Daniel Chrzanowski (an
easy name to remember once you've got it right) and
Rachael ______ (memory gap - sorry) arrived and
proceeded to assist with GYK's DI.
Wind
direction dictated the use of rwy 30 to start,
however, by the end of the day you could have been
forgiven for using 06.
By
the time we had the Pie Cart set up and aircraft in
place, Chris' passenger James Norris (that one was a
stretch, and still I can't remember Rachael's surname [Barnes])
had arrived. Chris promptly launched and
evidently found lift as we didn't see him back for
over an hour. Meanwhile, Rachael and Daniel flew
training flights in GYK before they had to leave at
about 12:30.
Chris'
expected friends arrived in time to see him land CQC
and Lucas (I think?) was looking forward to a decent
flight as James received his AEF certificate. The
difference between Chris' first and second flight
turned out to be just a couple of minutes at 1:15 and
1:12. GYK's stats were somewhat different at
0:28, 0:26 and finally 0:20 as Mick and David flew
back to the tie down area.
I
don't recall what time it was that we were packed up
and heading home but it was a relatively early finish.
