Official Club Documents

Here are the Club Rules and Regulations, our Bylaws, and the Membership Application.

For the annual club proficiency check ride you'll need to complete this questionnaire for the Archer or this questionnaire for the Hawk and present it along with this check ride form to your chosen instructor.

Our insurance company requires that all members fill out this pilot experience form. You may bring the completed form to any regular business meeting or mail it to the address shown on our contacts page.

These files are in Adobe .pdf format. If you need to download the Adobe reader you can find it here.

Unofficial Manuals

These reference manuals are not to be used for flight planning purposes as they aren't necessarily specific to our year and model, but they can give you an idea of the Archer's capabilities and limitations. The club will direct you to the proper printed manuals once you're a member.

Other Club Documents

When you're visiting a nearby airport please take a copy of the Club Advertising Flyer to display in the parked airplane and one to post on the FBO's bulletin board. There are local pilots trying to find us. Let's make their search easy.

Airport Authority Documents

On June 5, 2012 the Westmoreland County Airport Authority designated the Bravo intersection between taxiway Alpha and runway 3/21 as a safety area in which to perform engine run-ups. This is a copy of their notice and for your convenience here is a link to a skyvector.com page where you can get a copy of the airport diagram showing the Bravo intersection.

Member-submitted Documents

When you're doing your pre‑flight planning you'll need the compass deviation numbers. To save a trip to the airport we've copied them into Excel spreadsheets:

We've also created Excel Weight and Balance calculators tailored to each aircraft:

The Weight and Balance calculation spreadsheets make a good double‑check for you and produce a nice printout, but remember that these are aids only. You're responsible for verifying all flight calculations.
