A reminder from Ron Knaggs
Hi All, I was recently informed that the
NTSA agency was to be visiting our field to
check on our perimeter security. While they
may not visit our side of the field, please
remember the following for the next several
months.
If you plan to be on the field alone, have
your badge available for inspection.
Keep the gate closed and locked if you do
not have direct control of persons using the
gate.
Challenge any person on our property that
does not have a badge or with whom you are
not familiar. The inspection team will be
trying to access airplanes if they can get
on the field unescorted.
PLEASE do not shoot these guys, just call
the airport or 911 if you do not wish to
challenge them face to face. I am told they
will not be resistant to challenges but will
be obviously not be our type of people,
whatever that means.
Ron
PS. If you are in a tie down, it might be
wise to lock the plane if you do not
already.

 Memories
.......
It looks like we
squeezed through another hurricane season,
unlike a couple years ago when a hangar door
blew off bounced off the Club House and ended up
on the opposite side of the Hangars. Here's Bob
Quick and his handy forklift with Chapter members
putting the door back on its hinges. |

Special and
Experimental Light Sport Repairman Maintenance
Available: Call 772-349-4633 for more Info
Donato Martino from Port Saint Lucie and a
member of Chapter 908 has recently
completed the 120-hour Light Sport Repairman
Maintenance course provided by Rainbow Aviation
Services located in Corning, California. Donato
is now one of the first Light Sport Repairmen in
the country and is qualified to inspect (100hr
and Annual) and provide the maintenance on any
Special or Experimental Light Sport Airplane.
The time,
effort, and cost of attending the FAA required
course prevents all but the most determined
individuals from obtaining the Light Sport
Repairman Maintenance certification. The
curriculum includes numerous items. A partial
list includes: regulations, consensus standards,
an engine and propeller module of 45 hours,
aircraft fabric and tubing, seats and safety
belts, instruments, flight and engine controls,
batteries, studs and nuts, lines, hoses, and
clamps, exhaust stacks, accessories, hydraulic
lines, all aircraft systems, wheels, tires,
brakes, radios, propeller, fuel system, landing
gear, and the aircraft logbook.
The purpose of
the maintenance course is to train a person to
perform maintenance and conditional inspections
on Special Light Sport Aircraft, as well as
Experimental Light Sport Aircraft. Special LSA
aircraft are those which are delivered turnkey
flyable from a manufacturer, and which meet
certain ASTM "consensus standards." The
maintenance rating is only available by
attending the Repairman course.
For more
information on the new Light Sport Aircraft
including Experimental Ultralight Transition
services offered by Donato contact: Donato Martino
