Flight Rules

Effective: February 1, 2008

The rules governing the use of gliders owned by Bay Area Soaring Associates, Inc (BASA) are provided in this document. Members are required to read and follow these rules, which are for the safety of the pilot and the preservation of club equipment, and to report violations to the Flight Committee. Flagrant or gross violations may subject the member to disciplinary action. The Flight Committee Chairman may, on request, waive any of these flight rules that are deemed excessive in light of the member’s flight experience and currency.

You may download a PDF copy of these rules to print for yourself.

New members are required to get a flight committee check-out within the first two months of their membership. Here are some guidelines on how this check-out is conducted.
