<div>Unified Students:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>We have an exciting opportunity for you to get up in a small
plane, experience some stalls, 2g turns ... even the phugoid
mode.</div>
<div><br></div>
<ul>
<li>Thursday, May 4th is the MANDATORY flight safety lecture (1-2pm,
35-225)
<li>Tuesday, May 16th is the primary day (after noon)
<li>Thursday, May 18th (after noon) is the alternate if we get rained
out on the 16th</ul>
<div><br></div>
<div> NOTES:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>1) The flight safety lecture this Thursday is MANDATORY. We
will be taking attendance. If you are not there at the BEGINNING
of class, and present for the whole lecture, you will not be allowed
to fly.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>2) On flight day we will start by taking a van full of people
(about 14) to Hanscom. These folks must be ready to leave MIT by
shortly after 12pm. Then we will run a regular shuttle from
Alewife T-station to and from Hanscom. Our objective is to
always have about 10 people waiting in the queue at the field.
With the exception of the first van load, you will be responsible for
getting yourself to and from Alewife with sufficient lead time so the
van is not kept waiting.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>3) Although the 18th is penciled in as our rain date, at this
time we don't have enough pilots (who are covered on the Institute's
insurance policy) for this date. We are still working on this,
but for now, keep your fingers crossed for good weather on the 16th
since the alternate may not be viable.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Paul Bauer will be managing the air-side operations (and giving
the safety lecture). Andy Hill will be managing the ground-side
operations (the van, etc.). More details on both the flights and
the van will be forthcoming.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>For now, mark your calendars and attend the Thursday
lecture.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Best wishes,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>- Ian</div>
