The Soaring Club of Houston will be hosting 3 "On Ramp" weekend events this year to bring beginning XC and beginning Contest pilots up the on ramp. The events are open to any pilot who has a private license and has demonstrated soaring skills (multiple 2 to 3 hour flights). Each pilot will be paired up with a more experienced mentor for lead and follow.

The weekend events will start with morning discussion topics, followed by tasking, flying, de-brief. On Saturday evenings the club will host a BBQ. For those wanting to spend the night we have a clubhouse with bunk rooms and an RV park.

For non-members there will be a $120 entry fee per weekend to cover 2 tows, temporary club membership, daily awards, and the BBQ.

The dates will be:
May 14, 15
July 23, 24
October 1,2

We will be looking for volunteer mentor pilots and XC suitable 2 seaters. Please contact me if you can help out. My contact info is up to date on the SSA website as Clement Smolder II
