Hangar Access
Hangar 4 Rochester Airport Building access disclaimer and information. As an Invicta Aero Club member access to the Hangar will be given outside normal operational hours, to remove and store the aircraft in the Hangar. This is granted if you are a paid member to the Aero Club and this disclaimer is signed and uploaded to the FlyClub App under your profile. Arion Aviation assumes no responsibility or liability for loss, injury or damage to persons or property within the Hangar, by reason of fire, vandalism, winds, flood, earthquake, act of god, collision damage. Nor does it assume any liability by reason of injury to persons or property while using the hangar building. The area is covered by CCTV, and you will be monitored whilst on the premises, to ensure any damage can be identified and individuals held responsible. Members ARE NOT ALLOWED to the rear of the hangar into the engineering section as this is their working area. Hangar rash, minor scrapes can lead into thousands of pounds so please take your time, and ask for assistance if required. The Hangar doors MUST NOT be left open or unlocked at anytime, which includes nipping to the car, toilet etc. Property damage: - No Person shall: - a) Destroy, deface or disturb any property. b) Conduct activities that are injurious, detrimental or damaging to Arion property. c) Abandon any personal property within the premises. The Aircraft insurance does not cover you for damage occurred whilst manhandling the aircraft in and out of the hangar, nor any 3rd party liability insurance. (See Prang Club insurance wavier). Therefore as an Invicta Aero Club member you are solely responsible for any damage caused to the Clubs aircraft or 3rd party equipment or other aircraft whilst moving aircraft in the hangar. If you are a paid 'Prang Club' member for the given period, repairs to Aero Club aircraft will be covered. Any member found to deliberately or recklessly causing, or liable for, any damage, shall be required to pay Arion Aviation or Invicta Aero Club, on demand, the full cost of repairs, clean up, removal, legal fees or other costs incurred by either party as a result of the incident. Any person failing to comply with these rules shall be in violation and may be refused use of any facilities until the matter has been resolved. Caution must be taken when opening the sliding doors overlapping the pedestrian door to prevent damage. A minimum of two large sliding doors each side MUST be opened (caution they are heavy and can cause injury to toes). To move an aircraft in or out of the hangar, a minimum of two persons are required. One to steer via the towing bar, one on wing tip & tail duty to ensure correct and proper clearance to other properties is made. Caution must be taken throughout the operation. Pre-Flight checks are to be completed on the Hangar side of the walkway before re-fuelling and pulling forward for start. The aircraft should not be left in a position to block other movements.

Prang Club
The IAC fleet has an insurance excess for all insurance polices which is £5000. In the event of an incident resulting in damage to the aircraft the PIC, or last PIC would be responsible for the insurance excess or value of damage caused whichever is lower. This includes damage to wheel fairings, interior plastics, seats and so forth. At IAC we have a 'JUST' culture of reporting matters, from airspace infringements to heavy landings, over stressing the airframe during manoeuvres or damage caused. This culture ensures every pilot feels in a non-blame situation and has the opportunity to learn from mistakes, encourage others to learn and avoids the risk of unserviceable aircraft being flown by another pilot unknowingly following an incident. It is for everyone's safety. The direct costs incurred following an incident are required from the members direct. Members can subscribe on a voluntarily basis to a 'Prang Club' insurance excess waiver fee. This would indemnify the member of the required insurance excess, or cost of repairs whichever. This encourages the 'JUST' culture of reporting matters removing the expense element of the result of the said report. The 'Prang Club' will cover the pilot in command from minor damage to the aircraft, including and not limited to : - Wing fairings & lights Aircraft spats Interior items Heavy landing inspections. 'Prang Club' subscribers are covered when moving IAC aircraft in and out of the hangar, on the apron and whilst conducting your flight in accordance with the Flying Order book. You are not covered for 3rd party damage not covered by an insurance claim. The Prang Club fee is due each year on the 1st February and the amount set by the Director to ensure the required funds meet the demands of any insurance excess needs. Members joining part year have the opportunity to pay a pro-rata after six months, whole month, until the 31st January the following year. Any member found to be operating outside the restrictions set out in the Flying Order Book or aircraft POH would null invalid the 'Prang Club' insurance and the required cost of repairs or insurance excess would be required in full.
