MAAC Incident reporting procedures
Feb 09, 2010 - 11:56 AM - by beto9
Procedures after an Incident

Please do not discuss or admit to responsibility as this could compromise our position.

Field procedures:

1- Arrange for medical attention immediately if required.

2- Instructor or club executive on site, if available, to take control of incident. This will be the contact person for the Adjuster, and that individual will be responsible for the gathering of information.

3- If few people are present and no club executive, attempt to make contact with club executive(s). Remind them to bring a camera and paper and pen if needed as well as an Incident Report form if there are none at the field, to assist in obtaining the necessary information.

4- Take photographs of where the incident happened, as the scene existed at the time of the incident, and/or of the property damage/injury caused.

5- Remove any potential hazards from the scene, after being photographed, to prevent further incidents. All components of the aircraft that caused the damage and the transmitter must be kept for the adjusters inspection, do not throw away or attempt to repair parts.

6- Obtain information on injured party, or party who sustained the property damage – i.e.
-Name
-Address
-Phone # and or Person to contact
-Their version of what happened.

7- Obtain names, addresses, and phone #’s of all witnesses and their relationship to claimant, if any.

8- Have Club members witnessing the incident fill out an Incident Witness Report (available on MAAC website) with all details of what they saw.

9- If an INJURY is involved and it is after MAAC office hours (Mon–Fri 8:00am–4:30pm EST), our Crawford & Co. adjusters are to be notified immediately and directly by calling their 24/7 Claims Alert number at 1-888-224-5677. Do not use this number if there... [Read More]

New Frequency cards.
Feb 18, 2009 - 7:51 PM - by beto9
The frequency cards can now be printed with a new Excel spreadsheet. It can print more than one 72MHz cards (for those that operate in more than one frequency) and one for 2.4GHz transmitters. Each card printed is credit-card-sized.

Let me know if you have problems with it.

The file is zipped to permit uploading to our site.

Field Information
Jan 10, 2007 - 1:08 AM - by xed
Roll Call
In the interests of safety, please take the time to announce your intentions to go to the field. Flying alone can be dangerous and is discouraged at our club.

Field Access Procedures
If you are the first one to arrive, please hide the combination to our lock after opening the gate. If you are the last one to leave, it is your responsibility to ensure that our gate is locked.

Garbage Disposal
You are responsible for any garbage you bring to the field. Please do not leave any mess behind for others to deal with.

Lawn Cutting
All aircraft are to be grounded while the lawn is being cut and do not make the guy wait until you are through flying. He is not paid by the hour. This should be obvious but apparently it is not.
