NOTAMS:

PLEASE NOTIFY US PRIOR TO ARRIVAL:
At WSC we are enjoying servicing a growing number of private owners choosing to fly with us.  This increased demand is creating a greater challenge for our mountain tow operations.  To address this we are asking all pilots to contact WSC either by email info@williamssoaring.com, telephone (530) 473-5600, or Williams Today posting to let us know that they will want a tow.  We would appreciate as much notice as possible but letting us know as you leave the house will be helpful in planning our tow pilot staffing.

DOUBLE TOWS: On mountain days, we have found great benefit in double tows.

·        Double tows greatly reduce time waiting for a tow.

·        Double tows allow two pilots to explore lift early in the day, increasing the chance of staying up.

·        Double tows are directly responsible for our ability to hold our aero tow rates.

Pilots are encouraged to participate in the double tow program.  Double tows will be given priority launch positions.  Pilots requesting double tows are required to review and follow WSC double tow procedures.  This information can be found on the WSC Pilot information link under the operations section of our web site.   http://www.valleysoaring.net/pk/rr-ops.html
