Your Chance to Design a Fly-In

Jay, With all due respect to last year's organizers, make sure someone
knowledgable in such matters reviews those insurance contracts before
they are signed. Since last year was the *first* year, there is no
telling what may have been overlooked. Plus this year sounds to be
shaping up to be bigger/ better than the last, so there are likely
things being planned that last year's insurance didn't cover, let alone
think about.

Just playing devil's advocate. Better to bring up stuff now, and find
out its a non-issue than to have it pop up later and find out it is.
Kinda like a thunderstorm, if you know its there and account for it in
planning, the flight goes well. If you never looked, or just assumed it
wouldn't be a problem, it can ruin your day.

Did you happen to notice that one of our board members is an attorney?

Be sure to get someone professional (like an experienced AT Controller)
on a good radio with good signal strength etc to monitor and sequence
of all incoming and departing traffic. A temporary tower is good but
be sure he knows the field and any runway limitations. Have someone
monitoring any more normal Unicom frequencies to steer everyone to the
right CTAF.

At the annual SSQ flyin we have a spare CTAF receiver connected to the
PA system at low levels so the public can hear what's happening. Have
a PA system so pilots can be paged if necessary.

Use wing walkers on all A/C taxiing around general public areas. A
separate (and posted) ground frequency is good too.
