President’s Corner

February 2016 – Hicks Airfield The Ground Hog did not see his shadow and we can only hope that tradition rings true and we have an early spring. Starting a new year at Hicks Airfield and as always the to-do list is probably more than we can accomplish in a short 12 months. As we wake up from the winter there seems to be a few CCR violations stating to pop up……….please check and make sure that you are not one of the violators. Our man-agement company is monitoring and writing violations…and the worst excuse is “I didn’t know that was a violation”. We could all do a better job at self -monitoring to avoid the process. Recent ACC projects again have been started this year without plans or approvals and at times ends up impacting surrounding property owners. This could lead to deed ex-ceptions that possibly would be difficult or costly to remedy when a sale occurs. Just a reminder that we need to make sure to observe the “30-foot from yellow center-line” on taxiways. Compliance is important to allow aircraft to move unobstructed on the taxiway. Recent changes in monitoring parking compliance have helped tremen-dously with taxiway obstructions near the café area. PLEASE try and NOT drive on unpaved surfaces…. especially the safety zone between the runway and taxiway. Next board meeting is February11th at HANGAR 111 at 7:00 PM. And…….as always – this is your Airfield your attendance and voice needs to be heard.

Best Regards Tom Martin President – Hicks Airfield Pilots Association
