56 VARMS - BRIGG'S FIELD Powered Flight Operations P 1. Power (I/C motors) models will be permitted to operate at Brigg's Field Monday - Saturday inclusive. P 2. Aero-tow tugs actively engaged in aero-towing can operate on Sundays, but operation is not to commence until 12 noon in recognition of nearby church. P 3. No I/C motor shall be started before 7.00 a.m. on weekdays, 9.00 a.m. Saturdays, and 12.00 noon Sundays (Aerotowing only). This is in line with the Government Noise Abatement Act. P 4. ALL aircraft using Internal Combustion motors (Glow, Diesel & Petrol) and Electric powered aircraft (excluding electric power assisted Gliders) are to be operated from the power field area only. P 5. All aircraft motors (Internal combustion) are to be fitted with an effective muffler and the maximum noise level is to be kept to a minimum (98 Decibels at 3 Metres). P 6. Engines must not be run for extended periods in the pits. P 7. Aircraft must not be taxied in the pit area. P 8. Pilots are to stand in the designated area in front of the pits & beside the runway when flying P 9. power aircraft. Power flight operations are restricted to the EAST & SOUTH of the runway intersection at all times, except where a landing is required on the NW runway. In this case the downwind leg is required to be as short as possible. P 10. Power aircraft taking off on the NW runway must turn LEFT to the South as soon as practicable to preclude over-flying the Glider field. P 11. Under no circumstances are aircraft to intrude into airspace above the Golf Driving Range. P 12. When the NE/SW runways are operational, no person is to be standing EAST of the line of the runways. P 13. When the NW/SE runways are operational, no person is to be standing SOUTH of the line of the runways. P 14. Powered aircraft must give way to gliders, (Unless tugs are in use for launching). Gliders should keep clear of the power field when it is in operation. P 15. Landing and take-off is to be clearly announced by the pilot. P 16. Helicopters must be operated from the Heli training area behind the Hut or the main runways & fly circuits with other aircraft, they are not to take off or land in the pits area.
Glider Solo Rating. (a) Situational Awareness:- The trainee pilot will be able to demonstrate knowledge of:- (i) Frequency control and local related local procedures. (ii) Pre-flight checks. (iii) Launching protocols. (iv) Landing protocols. (v) MAAA/VMAA- and local safety rules. (vi) Flight path requirements/restrictions. (vii) Model weight and balance requirements. 57 (b) Flight:- The trainee pilot must be able to safely and consistently:- (i) Launch a glider on a bungee or a winch. (ii) Land a glider after a downwind, base and final approach. (iii) Control the flight of the glider in all orientations (no inverted flight requirement) without infringing any no-fly zones or safety rules. Power Solo Rating (Including Electric) (a) Situational Awareness:- The trainee pilot will be able to demonstrate knowledge of:- (i) Frequency control and local related local procedures. (ii) Pre-flight checks. (iii) Safe starting procedures and model handling. (iv) Pit protocols. (v) Take off protocols. (vi) Landing protocols. (vii MAAA/VMAA and local safety rules. (viii) Flight path requirements/restrictions. (ix) Model weight and balance requirements. (b) Flight - Fixed Wing:- The trainee pilot must be able to safely and consistently:- (i) Execute a take off manoeuvre standing behind the edge of the flying field (including a taxi to take off if the model is suitable). (ii) Execute a downwind, base and final circuit for landing. (iii) Execute a landing. (iv) Control the flight of the model in all orientations (no inverted flight requirement) without infringing any no-fly zones or safety rules. (v) Execute a procedure turn manoeuvre. (c) Flight - Helicopter:- The trainee pilot must be able to safely and consistently:- (i) Execute a take off to hover mode at 30 - 50 feet AGL. (ii) Rotate the helicopter 90 degrees to the left and return. (iii) Rotate the helicopter 90 degrees to the right and return. (iv) Execute a circular flight pattern around the pilot returning to the start position, hover and land.
