What Members Do
Members are expected to
arrive at about 8.30am on flying days, to assist in preparing
aircraft for flying, laying out the winch rope and getting ground
equipment ready. Weather permitting flying will commence as soon as
aircraft and equipment are ready and will normally continue
throughout the day finishing before sunset. Members are expected to
help by manning ground equipment, towing gliders to the launch
point, signaling for launches and assisting in moving aircraft onto
the launch grid.
Pilots take turns at
flying in the Club gliders and when it is your turn other Club
members will help you get launched.
The CCSC is very safety
orientated with flying operations capably conducted under the
guidance of experienced instructors and ground operations and
procedures subject to safety audit accreditation principles
