Visiting Flyers and Guests

Visitors and Guests are most welcome at Sunset Soaring Club.

A Visitor is a member of another flying club who has current MAAA Insurance.

Visitors may fly at the club's field for a fee of $5 per visit, provided they show proof of current MAAA membership. Visitors must be accompanied by a sponsoring SSC member who is responsible for ensuring that the visitor abides by all club rules. All such visitors must record their details in the Visitor's Register stored with the Frequency Board. The entry shall include the date, visitor's name and address, MAAA number, frequency and name of sponsoring SSC member. Visitors with MAAA membership who are still learners should be in company of a sponsor and will be treated as SSC learners. There is no limit on the number of visits providing the $5 fee is paid each time.

A Guest is a prospective member who is introduced by another member of the club or is new to the sport and may wish to have a plane they have built tested or they may wish to fly. They have no MAAA insurance.

Guests may make trial flights without MAAA membership to try out our field. Such visitors will be covered by MAAA public liability insurance for a maximum of four visits before being required to join the club. The guest's name and address and the club member responsible must be recorded in the Visitors Register. Guests must be closely supervised by an instructor or experienced club member. New pilots may have their planes assessed by SSC members before joining.

Whether you are a Guest or a Visitor, please make yourself familiar with our Code of Conduct.
