Why is it that even though I continue to pay my club dues on time, every 90 days my scheduling privileges become suspended?

This only prevents me from scheduling a plane for the purpose of lesson and/or training. I know your going to say that my instructor should be able to reserve the plane for me, but for some reason he always has about as much trouble as I do. :x

If I can't reserve a plane and my instructor can't either then either I have to use a plane from Brazos Valley FS or I use a club plane if available without scheduling it. :(

matt, send james cozby an email or call him. he is not on the forum yet. but schedule master will block you automatically if there is a problems with your profile...i think. for example if your AFR has not been updated or you medical expires. so call up james and see if he can help. also in the future, i dont have a problem wiht blocking a plane for you. if you ever have anytrouble again, call me up. 512-818-1807.

If you mess with the Kings Queens, you better watch your Ace Jack.

90 days is the lapse period for the solo signoff, so every 90 days your instructor needs to sign you off again and you need to notify one of the officers, giving them proof so that your account isn't disabled.

The club operates under FAA regulations part 61 and 91, and these regulations dictate the duration of student pilot certificates. More specifically, Part 61.87 (p)(1)(v) states that a 90-day solo endorsement is required in the student's logbook for the make and model of the aircraft to be flown. The club uses this endorsement expiration date for scheduling expiration as a means of preventing unauthorized student pilots from scheduling aircraft. We also require an Annual Flight Review for rated pilots on top of the FAA required Biennial Flight Review.

I understand the complications, but everyone must comply. Submit a member update form, found on our website, to the VP Public Relations or Membership Coordinator a week prior to the expiration. As a club, we want you flying and training as often as possible, but we must regulate our scheduling such that only authorized pilots have scheduling privileges. Take care and blue skies!
