Schedule System
Demo/Orientation Set for Meeting Nite - Nov. 17
Anticipating a decision to change to a new
web-based scheduling system, there will be a
demo and 'hands-on' orientation of the new
system at the club's regular meeting, Thursday,
November 17. This is also the night we
will have our annual election of officers.
While details are currently being worked on, we
hope to made a switch to this new system on or
about December 1, 2005. As mentioned in
the previous issue of Propwash sent out
recently, you can see and test this particular
system by logging onto
www.schedulemaster.com/1stdemo.htm
and following the instructions for either the
telephone demo or the internet demo.
Obviously we have many details to work out and
it may not be possible to switch to the system
as we hope. We may plan for additional
times to show this system prior to the actual
switchover date.
We are attempting to assign the current member
PIN's to be the passwords on the new system.
This will be finalized and announced at
Thursday's meeting.
Also, since we are attempting to make the
switchover effective December 1st, ANY MEMBERS
WHO HAVE ALREADY MADE AIRCRAFT SCHEDULES AFTER
THAT DATE WILL NEED TO MAKE THEM AGAIN ON THE
NEW SYSTEM. Again, more information will
be available at Thursday's meeting.
Work is being done to extend the coverage of the
WiFi at the Pilot's Club so that our computer in
the MAA office can be used to make an internet
connection. The computer in the MPC clubhouse
can be used until such time as we resolve the
technical issues to extend the signal into the
MAA office.
For those who use aircraft at EKM, there is a
computer in the flight planning room at IFC that
members can use. This will be essential
upon returning to the Elkhart in order to log in
the flight information.
The new system requires that all pilots who
return from a flight to log onto the scheduling
system and recording their Hobbs and Tach times.
These entries will be used to update the
member's account and bill him/her for their
activity.
And, it will also be the pilot/member's
responsibility to maintain all personal
information, such as BFR and medical dates,
changes in address, phone numbers (including
pagers, cell phone and fax) as well as email
addresses. Failure to do may result in
that person's inability to log onto the system
and make reservations.
