Summer Heat Restrictions

We are moving into the mid 90s and 100s next week, so, as a reminder, summer heat restrictions are in effect. The restrictions for aircraft weight and outside temperature and additional heat related info are as follows:
 

• No flights when the outside temperature is 100 degrees +.
• No more than 75% max gross for flights between 90-100 degrees.
• No backseat riders for flights over 90 degrees at takeoff.
• No touch and go’s or practice instrument approaches when temperatures are over 90 degrees.
• Check winds and temps for when you are set to return as well. If the crosswind runway is not available, are the conditions within your personal minimums?
• Be prepared for puke.
• 6 quarts minimum oil. 

 
The schedule is open for 5am flights. It is an awesome time to fly!! The front door of Atlantic is locked until 6 so call the number on the glass door to be let in. Afternoon flights during the summer are hit and miss based on winds and the above restrictions so plan your flights accordingly. If you book after noon, plan on a 50/50 chance of flying. Safety is the number one concern. Then reducing strain on the aircraft engines
 
Please chat with GBA staff and/or your instructor if you have any questions.
