As previously stated Marcel ,we always ask the person flying before we go up ,I guess that's what you mean by the gentlemanly thing to do?? As stated before ,.we are all well aware that trainees need space ,and I am quite sure no one in the club would begrudge giving a learner even 30mins of focused flying time if necessary. . When you say they need to be alone well i am sure we would be happy to sit around and chat..instead of flying...whats new....usually have trouble getting members up from the clubhouse ...lol......this of course is based on the assumption that as many people are going to turn up on the Thursday or the Tuesday....as on a Club Day ,......As a matter of interest how many experienced members have turned up on on the training days.wanting to fly or disrupt the training. ??....if i could get some figures on this it may give me a clearer picture....as far as i am aware only the occasional old fellow wants to go down for a quiet fly on the off days...hardly disruptive unless they have left me out of the loop and are rolling up in their droves and not telling me...I just cannot get my head around this ...we have so few members ...it's not a big deal l as you say....we really just need to plug along.... leave it as it is and stay happy ...........still I would be interested to know how many experienced members turn up on the training day wanting to fly. Please let me know ! .. ..I know what you mean about coping with other aircraft in the air....i still have trouble with this and prefer fly alone and even on a club day I easily manage to fit in flights on my own .....which is why i just cannot see the problem with the odd extra flyer through the week...by the way..... we always have plenty of free time and space on Wednesday afternoons for a learner or two. Let's put this whole thing to bed ....we don't need a meeting about this....it is just not necessary and is causing grief to our experienced flyers who have paid their $300.00 to have equal rights to be able to use the field within the regulated hours.....that is what we signed up for.....drop this idea and I am sure the trainees will go ahead and probably not even have ONE EXPERIENCED member turn up most times....and even if 1or 2 do arrive they usually only fly for 10min 1or 2 times and even then i am sure they will respect the trainees...and if they don't, they need to be reminded of club etiquette. ....as I see it....there is no existing problem ....just leave things as they are and we'll all be happy.
