  • FLIGHT RELATED FUNCTIONS.
    Flight Logging:
    The GCCS tables hold details of members, gliders, tugs, winches, charging rates, passenger fees etc. Using this information, flight costs are calculated and recorded as each flight is logged into GCCS. During club flight logging, checks are made that the glider, tug and pilots are known, thereby eliminating errors. Charges are made for the tow time and for the glider time (cents per minute). Once flight details and charges have been recorded, the information is used to deduct flying fees from the members' accounts and to produce various flight related reports.
    Financial Functions:
    Each member, glider and tug has an account within GCCS . Other accounts can be created as required. At any time during the financial year it is easy to provide each member with a consolidated flight and financial report.
