Hi to all !!!
Just a quick update on what the Rotorcraft Association of Victoria is doing leading up to our 2008 ASRA Nationals.
Due to Wangarratta being a CTAF, and requiring all gyro pilots to hold an Aerodrome Endorcement, our club has implemented the following initiative.
All current RAV members who havent got an aerodrome, and or radio endorcement, have been invited to attend a one day trainning session being held at Ballarat airport by Paul Bruty late September.
Paul has been kind enough to make himself available and run the club training as well as sign off those members passing the relivent exams on the day. we have emailed all those members with all relivent study material in preperation to the day.
I would highly recommend that all our sister Gyro clubs around OZ adopt a similar stratergy, ensuring as many of there members get these endorsments as possible.
This will help us ensure that all gyro pilots attending will be able to fly,experience, and enjoy what Wangarratta has to offer during next years Nationals.
Looking forward to it !!!!!!

Good luck

Regards Sam...............

Aerodrome endorcements for all pilots will be a requirement at next years Nationals. But the carraige and use of radio's wont. (this is because Wangarratta is only a CTAF, and radios are not mandatory)
What most people dont know, or understand is that a radio endorcement "is" required to get an aerodrome endorcement.

Hope this makes sense.
