Small steps back to flying again with Covid19, and today the first 14 members who were current on aerotow lined up to fly at North Hill.

The small group set up the aerotow operation to check out the social distancing rules and cleaning practices at the airfield. As requested, everybody stayed reasonably local, even though the soaring conditions could have taken us much further. Pete Startup managed a total of 300kms in 3 triangles.

Only solo flying has been allowed so far, apart from the 'same household rule', that enabled James and Sam Flory and Jill and Pete Harmer to fly together.

Further small steps will continue with solo flying and moving on to running the winch operation safely. We will be following the government guidelines for when we can restart training / check flights in two-seaters.
Thanks to everyone - lovely to get back in the air again. - J&P
