A discussion was initiated regarding the regularity and location of meetings. It was suggested that the hangar under the residence be used due to the proximity of food prep and storage facilities as well as the propane heater. It was suggested that the club try to meet in Louisa and Charlottesville in addition to our current habit of Gordonsville and Orange. It was also suggested that we fix the 3rd Sat. of every month as our meeting time in order that members might be able to arrange their schedules in advance to be able to attend meetings.

Skip Safety Chat:
Skip reported on the FAA presentation at OMH that he attended:
The FAA rep. said that the FAA is no longer performing ramp checks on aircraft. Their focus for compliance will be Certified aircraft used for noncommercial purposes not experimental aircraft.
CFR 43 Appendix A provides guidance for maintenance items which can be performed by owners themselves.
1. The owner performing such approved items must have the aircraft manual in possession.
2. The use of an A&P to supervise the owner's work must meet the easy access criteria.
3. The owner must make sure that the work performed is properly documented.
4. The pilot/owner is the person responsible for making sure that the aircraft is airworthy.
5. Items which are deferred must be rendered inoperable with a notation in the Logbook. If the item is intended to be left deferred, a note is required on every annual inspection.
Lee Fox brought up for discussion several recent aircraft accidents in the local area.
Treasurer's Report:
The balance in the checkbook is unchanged. Annual dues of $20.00 are due Jan. 1, 2016.

Airport Layout Plan and AWOS
Consideration of airport layout plan update to include AWOS location.
“BACKGROUND:
Attached is a copy of a proposed update to the Gordonsville Airport Layout Plan (ALP) to show the
location of the proposed AWOS-3 at the airport. This is the same proposed location Council has
seen previously and which was submitted to the FAA for airspace and frequency review in 2011.
The Virginia Department of Aviation (DOAV) requires that all Sponsors update their ALP prior to
approving any final design on this project. Delta Airport Consultants submitted the ALP updates to
the DOAV on January 18, 2012; however, the DOAV also would like the Town to concur with the
proposed location. No other items on the Gordonsville ALP will be affected by this update. The
location of future t-hangar and pavements are shown on the updated plan to demonstrate that they
will not conflict with the proposed AWOS location.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the approval of the update to the Gordonsville Airport Layout Plan to show the
location of the proposed AWOS-3 at the airport.”
