Wouldn't hurt to wipe controls when changing pilots.

The most suspect location will be the clubhouse and other interior

spaces.

There's a good chance this new virus will become endemic.


Solo flying in gliders and towplanes can comply with social distancing

(6ft
recommended in Nevada). Dual flying in gliders is more marginal. Dual
flying in power planes with side-by-side seating doesn't satisfy social
distancing.

Even with single-seaters, are you going to Disinfect when changing pilots?
