Deviations from club procedures
This content has been machine-translated from Finnish and may contain errors.
Recently there have been cases where club procedures have not been followed. In particular, there has been slippage in cleaning the aircraft’s wings and windscreens. That is: the leading edge of the wings, the leading edge of the stabilisers, the windscreen and, where needed, the spinner and propeller must be cleaned of insect remains immediately after the flight. Use a sponge and plenty of water for this. The windscreen must be washed with a CLEAN sponge using only DABBING, NOT SCRUBBING. The windscreen must also be dried with clean paper using only dabbing.
When leaving the aircraft parked at Malmi, also clean the wings and windscreen before you depart. Also, LOCK THE AIRCRAFT! There has been an incident where the left door was flapping open in the wind when the pilot arrived at the aircraft. Also remember the new procedure, regardless of location, regarding the pitot tube cover.
Go and read, on the club website in the file area, “operating instructions for club members” and “club procedures.” At the same time, as a refresher, read through the Hyvinkää standing orders. They can be found under the links menu.
