SAFA Skysailor Magazine

5 September | October 2022 SKY SAILOR it is apparent that either gaining or renewing the Certificate impedes some of our members from remaining a SSO/SO. In the interim, we can extend the FAC expiry date for existing SSOs/SOs, so we ask that any volunteer who has received notice of an expired FAC please contact the Operations Team to take advan- tage of this arrangement. New Flying Season With a new flying season about to start, members are reminded that it’s a perfect time to carry out maintenance tasks on flying equipment, do a rescue chute repack and generally make sure that all our equipment passes muster. Arguably, however, the most important element of our flying is a well-informed, appropriately skilled and responsible pilot. It makes sense, therefore, to take the time to do some personal main- tenance. Ensuring memberships are current, checking the Operations Manual documents and site rules for any changes, for example, should be just as important as any other maintenance performed. I wish everyone a great 2022/23 flying season. Fly safe. Photo: Tina Thorburn To renew your membership, visit SAFA’s website, log into your account and renew! www.safa.asn.au
