COVID-19 Update
I’m very pleased to let you know that the NSW Premier has announced that outdoor gatherings of up to 10 people, for recreational purposes, will be allowed in NSW from Friday 15th May. That means that any Clubs that have been closed can now reopen for flying, subject to the limitation of 10 people and subject to observing the social distancing requirements.
Larger clubs, in particular, might need to give some thought to how this can be made to work. For example:
All pilots to have downloaded the CovidSafe app
All visitors to be pilots ie no friends/observers adding to the numbers at the field
Signing in and out with name, time, date, mobile number at the field
Reminder signs about social distancing
Distance markers at the flight line so that pilots stand the required distance apart
Roster systems
Limits of 2 or 3 hours for visits to the field
It is entirely up to each club how this is handled but, as the Premier said this morning, we should still assume that we have the virus, or the person nearby has the virus, and take appropriate care. It’s wonderful to get back to flying so quickly however, there’s an obligation on all of us to remain vigilant for everyone’s benefit.
Safe flying!
