SSB/KBDU Glider Ground School Handout

This document is for all SSB members, but especially new and prospective members. As we welcome new members into SSB, they need to know and follow Club guidelines. KBDU is a difficult airport for glider operations due to high traffic, limited space and fickle winds. This document is not intended to teach glider flying, but rather how to use club and airport resources. Its topics include SSB Club procedures, aircraft care, runways, traffic patterns, winds, sink, the Box and other features unique to KBDU. There are a lot of guidelines and procedures that are unique to operating gliders at Boulder Municipal Airport. This document addresses many of the guidelines and procedures.
