Caravan participation will be limited to 48 aircraft. However, additional
registrants may sign up since there is traditionally significant attrition due
to changing schedules. The order in which individuals sign up does not guarantee
inclusion. Individual participation is at the discretion of the Flight Leader.
Last year, pilots were ranked with the following criteria:
Volunteers who are working to make all this happen will have first priority
for participation in the Caravan.
Final selection will be based on a review of flight experience:
- Pilot certificates and ratings
- Total an recent pilot hours
- Prior Caravan experience
- Paid registration fee
- Minimum 500 hours flight experience
- Flight time in Mooneys
If you have not paid your registration fee
($55.00),
consider yourself “standby” only. The registration fee
MUST be received
no later than June 10. As of June 10, paid registrants not
contacted by the Caravan Flight Leader may consider themselves accepted into the
Caravan and all unpaid registrants will be moved to the bottom of the list.
After June 10st, eligible people will be restored to the list in the
order that we receive the registration fee.
The Mooney Caravan President or the Flight Leader may ask for additional information about your flying
experience. We may request a sign-off from a CFI as to a pilots' proficiency in
basic station-keeping, traffic pattern work, spot landings or similar
situations. Anyone not accepted into the Mooney Caravan will have all fees
refunded. Co-pilots are strongly recommended with their participation in the
flight briefings is requested.
SAFETY and FLIGHT PERFORMANCE are
overall goals of the flight. In the event that extra aircraft should arrive at
Madison, the overflow will fly the FAA’s AirVenture Fisk arrival procedure with
an arrival time coinciding with the arrival of the Caravan. This should cause
all Mooney aircraft to be parked in close proximity.
Any cancellations after July 09, 2010 will not
have their registration fee refunded. Reservations cancelled before July 09, 2010 will be refunded, however
to cover some caravan fixed costs, $25.00 of the registration fee
is non-refundable regardless of when the reservation was made or cancelled.
