Re: Establishing a Club Policy for Turbine-powered aircraft Thanks for the input everyone and offers of help. It would seem that clubs that fly turbine jets don't typically have anything special written down for their use above an beyond the MAAC guidelines. That's good to know. I'd say this thread has run its course. |

Re: Establishing a Club Policy for Turbine-powered aircraft Well said Jeff I may have been misunderstood with what I have said. If clubs are questioning turbine use we need to put our best foot forward and offer as much assistance and guidance as we can. A good start is the maac website. |

Re: Establishing a Club Policy for Turbine-powered aircraft Hi Mike, As the Canadian Rep to the Jet Pilot's Organization (JPO), I concur that Section 5 of the MAAC Safety Guidelines (and entire Safety Code) are sufficient for turbine operations in Canada. If you have visiting AMA turbine pilots, they will have to comply with AMA regulations. Something to consider for increased safety is to always maintain water extinguishers at the field during turbine ops, as the Safety Guideline only requires appropriate fire fighting equipment for MAAC sanctioned turbine events. Like Kaptain Kaos says...education is key...MAAC's jet committee has already put in place sufficient guidelines/rules for Canada and our record has been impeccable. So other than local constraints with the geography, noise restrictions, etc, you should have everything you need for the Rideau Flyers to allow turbine operators to enjoy their hobby at your site. I live nearby in Stittsville, so if your Club would like me to explain more details in person, give a demo, answer questions, etc, let me know. Cheers, Jeff |

Re: Establishing a Club Policy for Turbine-powered aircraft This for me because I will be the first member of the Ottawa Rideau Club to fly a turbine power jet. After Wingham I decided to remove the EDF from my 1/8 Tamjet F16 ( picture this spring). Flew well but to short flight . I 'm use to fly EDF (90-120 mm) jets and the club grant me the permission to fly turbine.  For me it's only common sense and most of the big jet flyer are more cautious about safety than " sunday flyer or keyboard flyer"  It's a very well experience turbine power Helicopter member @ my club to help me . Anyway I'm very exited to try my new toys..... Jet Munt VT80 |

Re: Establishing a Club Policy for Turbine-powered aircraft And, just check local bylaws for noise restrictions and the likes. Other than that, it's all education, people fear what they don't know. |

Re: Establishing a Club Policy for Turbine-powered aircraft +2 education is the issue these days turbines have come along ways in the last couple of years , the education to others about them not so much. It's still "there a bomb waiting to go off attitude " in most clubs. It's up to us to help educate the masses so they can make an INFORMED decision on the subject. |

Re: Establishing a Club Policy for Turbine-powered aircraft A jet is just another aircraft with a different propulsion system. As long as you follow the MAAC rules regarding turbines, that should suffice. This is providing you do not have any other limitations at your field such as flight boundaries etc. Even then, you could fly a boomerang jet there tighter than most 46-60 glow. The hurdle is overcoming the fear of other members that may not know much about jets. For this, education and patience is very helpfull. |
