Reservations You
must be a current member of the Plus One
Flyers Club and use the online scheduler to
make a reservation. You
must meet the currency and qualification requirements in the Rules section. Fuel
and Oil When
you have completed your flight do not refuel the airplane. Since the
useful weight is only 515 pounds some flights, depending on weight of the
occupants, will need to be conducted with less than full tanks. Allow the
next pilot to make the decision about how much fuel to take on. Request fuel
from Gibbs prior to your flight, they will bring a fuel truck to the plane
and fill according to your instructions. Fuel
drains. There are four drains; one on each wing, one under the fuselage
behind the cabin and one under the cowling. Ensure
that the oil level is at least than 6 quarts. It should usually be around 7
quarts. Windshield Windshield
wipes and windshield cleaner are provided to keep the glass clean. Please
don’t use paper towels on the windshield. Parking and Towing Always
use the tow bar provided to move the airplane. Don’t forget to remove the tow
bar prior to flight. A simple rule of not taking your hands off the tow bar
while it is on the plane will prevent this from happening. Watch out for the
rudder when using the tow bar. The
parking spot is tight and the shelter has bracing rods at the back. Be
careful not to run the rudder or yourself into the braces. Because
the parking spot is tight, it is possible to run into the shelter cross
braces of airplane, watch you head and look out for trip up situations. Checklists Laminated
checklists are left in the airplane for your use. Please leave them behind.
If you would like your own copy, you can go to the checklist section and print your own copy. It
costs a couple or three bucks to laminate them at print shops. Flight
Manual There
is a copy of the flight manual in the cockpit in the left side pocket between
the seats. You can download your own
copy from the manuals section. The
flight manual contains the weight and balance. Radio There
are three sets of jacks. Do not use the radio jacks on the dashboard. They
only work for solo flight and don’t provide side tone when you push to talk. GPS We
have a subscription with Jeppesen to keep the GPS data card up to date. If it
is out of date, tell us about it and we’ll get to it ASAP. If
you are doing aerobatics remove anything that cannot be tied down or
comfortably placed in the sealable side pocket and leave it in the
locker. This includes the Plus One
folder. Check the Rules Section for aerobatic
rules. Make sure to check out the G-LOC report. Maintenance If
there are any squawks please let us know right away. |
