RESERVING A PLANE
Aircraft scheduling is done by clicking on the "Schedule Aircraft" title bar of the TFC website and entering your individual member number
and password. Under "Flight Operations" click on "Aircraft Availability/Booking."
Select the Aircraft you wish to schedule and click on "Go" to display
the previously scheduled time slots.Click on the date you wish to schedule
and then the times; "Submit" your request. Go back to schedule page and
refresh the screen; your reservation should be visable!
Some things to remember are:
-
Only 1 aircraft reservation is allowed to be scheduled beyond 10 days in
the future.
-
Designated trainer aircraft cannot be scheduled for overnight cross-country
flights without prior approval by the Board.
-
We will restrict your access to the scheduling system if our records
indicate:
-
you have not entered the membership information (including
emergency contact info) and changed the password
-
your medical
has expired
-
your yearly club check-out has expired
-
your bi-annual
FAA check-out has expired
-
your financial account with the club
is 60 days in arrears.
CHANGING / CANCELLING A RESERVATION
-
No shows are extremely frustrating to the rest of the membership. PLEASE
cancel if you can't use the time you have scheduled. Club rules state the
penalties for no shows, but if everyone is courteous we will not have to
use them.
-
If you are grounded due to weather, cancel ASAP so that an IFR pilot
may be able to use the aircraft.
-
If weather or a maintenance problem keeps you from returning on time, call
the Operations VP (or any Board member) so we can inform other members
who might be affected.
RECORDING YOUR TIME IN THE AIRCRAFT TACH LOG
-
ALWAYS enter your NAME and TFC NUMBER. If you have a common last name include
your first name and middle initial.
-
Log the starting tach time BEFORE starting the engine. If a discrepency
is noted follow the instructions for 'NO NAME IN TACH LOG'.
-
When the flight is over fill in the hours flown field.

Remember to start at the bottom of each page and fill the page going up. If you purchase fuel offsite,
please record the gallons purchased in the squawks column and place the receipt in the box located
in the key locker.
NO NAME IN TACH LOG
-
If the plane has been flown without an appropriate entry in the tach log,
write an entry in the tach log with the starting and ending tach readings
and write "no name in tach log" in the name/comment section.
-
Mark your flight time in the tach log normally, as a separate entry.
-
If the office is open, review the scheduling system for that airplane and
attempt to call the member who forgot to record the tach time. Once resolved,
go back to the airplane and enter the pilot's name and club number in the
"no name" entry.
-
If you cannot resolve who flew the plane, enter a "squawk report" on the
scheduling system to report the discrepancy.
AIRCRAFT GROUNDING PROCEDURES
Never
fly a grounded aircraft, this is common sense and also club rules. Only
a TFC CFI or maintenance officer can unground an airplane. Always
check the maintenece recorder to be sure of the status of your airplane.
Anyone
can ground an airplane, and you should not hesitate to do so if it fails
any of the required pre-flight inspections or for any reason you see fit
too.
Follow
these procedures to ground an aircraft:
-
Place the aircraft key on the grounded hook & grounded tag in place
of key.
-
Write grounded entry in tach log.
-
Use the terminal at the airport and enter the grounding action on the scheduling
system; system will automatically email Maintenance personnel.
-
Attempt to telephone other members who have the airplane scheduled that
day
OFF BASE OPERATIONS
-
Keep the receipts from any fuel or oil you purchase while away from McKinney.
Turn in the receipts (not a copy) to the treasurer by placing them in the box in the key locker. Your account will be credited for the gallons of fuel purchased at the published rate (if you pay less than the published rate then you benefit from the savings). Be sure to write your MEMBER NUMBER on the receipts.
-
Tiedown fees, landing fees, deicing, engine preheat, ...etc, will not be
credited. Only fuel & oil.
-
If you are away from home and there is a maintenance problem which prevents
you from returning home, you may spend up to $200 to get the plane repaired,
and you will be reimbursed. Any maintenance above $200 MUST be approved
by the club FIRST. A list of phone numbers for approvals is provided with
each tach log.
