I will tell you one thing an hour meter and air switch is the best way bar none
to do a maintance release. In old days at Keepit I would land old Berg after
last flight and before the tail was turned around I could have the hours
written up (I would guess the no of launches and was usually correct +/- one
flight and some days gliders were doing 20 to 35 flights) - The crap these
days of entering things into computer and maybe 1 hour later the data is
available for writing up the MR - Hour meter/air switch is the only way to go
for Maintance Release

Dear "boring club members"
I thought that I am the only one thinking about this.... but no!
Now, here is a real challenge:
There are clubs out there that are using commercial accounting packages i.e.
Quick(en)Books, MYOB etc.
How do those clubs take care of pilot's logs and glider logs?
We are required to keep track of flight movements as per MOSP:
14.1.11 Keeping of records.
All clubs must compile and keep such logbooks, flight records and time sheets
as
will enable an accurate record of the club's flying operations to be
maintained.
These records must be made available to the RTO/Ops or the CTO/Ops on
request.
There are a few of free-ware versions of gliding club software packages
available - unfortunately most of them are in German - which makes them
useless.
Respectable clubs are entering data on-the-go on a laptop on the flight line
- a simple double click enters take/off and landing time. Pilot's names /
glider rego's etc are selected from drop down menus...
Could our QLD gliding branch or even the GFA come up with a decent program /
plug-in (QB, MYOB) / spreadsheet / database for everyone to use.
Even the tax department is providing a free version which is usable.
The "Gliding Club Computer Program" is quite ok but a bit dated.
I have seen a prototype of the on-line booking system. It looks like to me
that we all need a record system for log books, an accounting system and maybe
on-line booking system. Would it be effective to do this as a combined effort
for every club in Australia? That would free up more members to recruit and
keep member retention up.
If Ian Perkins should read this.... how about it?
all the best

At Boonah we have been using the "Gliding Club Computer Program" for some
time to track our members flying accounts.
The program runs OK, but the members accounts reports are very poorly
setout and only available as a text file.
We were going to write a new program based around Access or Excel, that
would allow use to upload logs/accounts to our website.
Before we over commit ourselves to this involved and frustrating task, has
anyone out there already done this..?
