Hello All,
New things in the works for 2006 -- the first of these is Pilot ID Cards.
The plan is twofold:
1. The colored trim of the card will indicate your aircraft/instructor rental rate. This will help our new staff to invoice you correctly. Red will be for Retail, Blue for Block, and Green for Package. (we could have continued the letter-matching theme, but Pink or Purple trims didn't sound appealing)
2. The card itself has "punches" for your pilot capabilities -- solo, solo XC, advanced ratings, aircraft checkouts, etc. This will allow the staff to know what flights you are qualified to take at a glance and get you underway quickly without any second-guessing.
December and January will be "trial run" months, and in February, it is our intention that your pilot ID card will be required to receive a plane logbook and keys. This will simplify the checkout process for everybody, ensure that your invoices are accurate, and allow us to train staff efficiently.
I would love to hear any comments or concerns about the cards, or ideas on how we can make the plane-book process any quicker.
Thanks!
- Mike
