Schoies had four competitors in the championships. More... Flight authorisation procedures New flight authorisation procedures will be implemented from Monday, 11th March 2013. The purpose is to improve the information that the club has before, during and after all flights and to ensure that performance and loading criteria are met. The information will also allow for a more complete analysis of club operations. More... Safety Management System Safety has always been a priority at SFC. This attitude was formalised with the creation of a Safety Management System (SMS) which has now been in operation for a number of years. The SMS aims to promote Aviation Safety through communication and reporting systems including Confidential Hazard Reports and Alerts. More... January competition results The first Club Competition of 2013 started at 7am at Bankstown on Sunday 20 January. With a fairly low could base, Bankstown was the perfect place for it. Fourteen competitors entered. The results were: First Andrew Jordan, 2nd Dave Winter and 3rd Richard Ure. In the previous champs division David Jaffray won the day. More... Coming events for 2013 The program of events for 2013 has now been finalised and can be downloaded as a pdf.

October Duty Pilot draw The Volunteer Duty Pilot Monthly Draw for September ($50 free flying) goes to Hank Langejans and John Young. The Club appreciates the efforts our tireless band of volunteers generously give in helping their Club and this is one small way of saying thank you! Facebook page Schofields Flying Club now has a Facebook page, giving a new way to see our latest announcements, events and photos. It is also a great place to be able to share your photos and comments with others. If you haven’t done so already, please take a moment to 'Like' us on Facebook. Not yet on Facebook? You are still able to view the page by clicking on the link at the top of this page. More... New members Prospective new members of the Club can download a Membership Application Form (44kB pdf) here. Note that it is still necessary for new members to attend the Club in person with photo identification before applications can be processed. On-line booking system We've put the finishing touches on our new on-line booking system! The old steam-driven, manual booking sheet is now a thing of the past and our new system is fully operational. Members are invited to contact the Club for login and operating instructions. More... Aeroplane data on-line Now available on the Aircraft Fleet and Downloads pages are Weight & Balance, Aeroplane Loading, and Take-Off & Landing data for most of our aircraft. Checklists are available for some of the fleet as well. Loading & Performance details for our Cessna fleet and Checklists for the entire fleet will be available shortly. Pilots should confirm the data before flight by referring to the Pilot's Operating Handbook and the Approved Flight Manual for the particular aircraft. Volunteers needed The Club is once again in need of volunteer help. A couple of our duty pilot teams are in need of a few extra helping hands to cover their scheduled weekends. If the teams are full this means half a day about once every two months for each person involved. Are you willing to pitch in and offer your help? Please call Vivianne or Suzanne at the Club on 9709 8488 and have a chat to see what the volunteer duty pilot work is all about. Read Why be a Duty Pilot? by Peter Blackbourn. Schofields Flying Club Schofields Flying Club is the premier Flying Club at Sydney's Bankstown Airport. In association with our training facility, the Sydney Flight College, we offer all levels of training and private aircraft hire in a friendly Club atmosphere. Advanced training includes commercial pilot licence, multi-engine endorsement, command and private instrument rating, instructor rating, and aerobatic and formation approval. Ground training courses provided by TAFE theory teachers in our well-equipped facilities. Conditions of flying Club aircraft Members are reminded that it is a requirement of the Club that you present your logbook, pilot's licence and medical certificate to the Duty Pilot or staff member for confirmation of currency prior to undertaking a flight. More details on our Aircraft Rates page and you can download the Terms and Conditions for Aircraft Hire with effect from 17 June 2010 (39kB pdf). Cancellation fee Our instructors are facing a recurring problem with late cancellations or late arrivals by students for lessons. Please remember that our instructors work on a casual basis and, if they don't fly, they don't get paid. So, if you cancel, your instructor will lose income for that lesson. If you keep on doing it, the instructor will impose a late cancellation fee of $50 and the office will send you an invoice. You will have to pay the fee before you fly again so, unless you have a very good reason, think twice before cancelling a lesson at short notice. Extended bookings Members wishing to hire aircraft for periods greater than one week will be required to pay 75% of the expected cost in advance of hire. Late departures & arrivals Flights departing or returning after 5pm should be booked only after prior arrangement with a staff member, instructor or committee member regarding out of hours operating procedures.
