IBM Flying Club Safety Subsidies
Note: Safety
Subsidies are currently withdrawn
The following Safety Subsidies are available to IBM Flying Club members.
Amounts paid for each Refresher will depend on our budget and the total
number of safety subsidies claimed. The IBM Club have asked us
not to publish the amount of each subsidy, so if you want to know how much
you can claim, please contact the Treasurer. You should get a pre- and
post-flight briefing with the instructor and please remember, you don't have
to 'PASS' anything - you just have to have a go.
You may claim the subsidy for any flight with an instructor which
includes the appropriate checks, so if you arrange a flight with any
instructor, in any aircraft, in any country, just ask for the appropriate
items to be included and make sure he/she signs your logbook after the
flight. Alternatively if you happen to have one of our instructors with you
on a trip, why not ask for the refresher(s) you want to do to be included in
your trip? That way you will get your trip subsidized!
The safety subsidy is limited to one claim for each of the subsidies per
member per calendar year. Unfortunately due to club budget rules, guest club
members are not eligible for the safety subsidy, but
that shouldn't be an excuse for not doing them anyway!
