Arriving at YCAB around 7:45 am the sky was full of Cums. 

 

Chris Weir had arrived a bit earlier and was busy “unwrapping” the Club Libelle GJY ......”Tuggie” Tor McCaul arrived and had SPA ready in no time. 

 

Being Duty Instructor for today I set about “unwrapping” the IS28B2 CQC while Lynette McCarthy (Acting Duty Pilot as no Club Member had been Rostered) headed towards Kevin’s Hangar and had all matters in hand pretty quickly ... Tony Sorenson arrived to assist and thank goodness he did as this was now our full extent of members present.

 

With Cums popping everywhere Chris Weir took off at 9:40 am in GJY returning 3 hours 26 minutes later at 1:06 pm ... Tony Sorenson jumped into CQC at 10:42 am for a 44 minute flight ... with no students, I decided to take CQC next at 11.46 am and managed 50 minutes.

 

Tony did a Hangar flight at 1.46 pm and scored exactly 1 hour before we called it a day just after 3.00 pm.

 

Total Statistics for the day were:-

 

   GJY           2 flights              3 hours 46 minutes

   CQC          4 flights               2 hours 50 minutes

 

                   ...........               ............................

                   6 Flights              6 hours 36 minutes

                  ............                ............................

 

Many thanks to our “Tuggie” Tor McCaul and to Lynette for stepping-in to cover the Duty Pilot role.

 

For the Maintenance Crew.....the radio in CQC (since Friday) appears to be receiving but not transmitting.

 

For the Friday Crew.....cars will all need re-fuelling.
