  2. Another Committee member stated:
    I still want to see entry formats simplified. I find it annoying to have to put brackets around area codes and to have to put a slash between year, month and day.
    I’d also like to see the cursor go automatically to the most likely spot on each page. It doesn’t seem logical that I go to the log-in page and have to physically place the cursor in the “User” space or go to “Personnel” and have to put the cursor in the Membership Number space.

  3. One of the BC Zone Commanders has asked if we shouldn’t be able to log the time spent preparing for a tasking. At the moment there is no way to enter that time (flight planning, DI, weather checking, etc) yet it is a necessary and very productive period by our volunteers. He felt that it should be added in such a way that it would show on the person’s Training Report.
    By entering that time under the main Event as Flight Planning the time showed only in Zone-Reports-Events for that tasking,

  4. Further to e-mail between myself and all Committee members about the entry of flight preparation time, I’m inclosing the list of items I used to track on my spreadsheets prior to CMS. You’ll notice that flight preparation time is not included.
    This doesn’t even qualify as a suggestion; just a list of things I used to track:
    Ground School:
    Spotter Training
    Navigation
    Pilot Training
    NOCL Messages
    Equipment Use & Maintenance
    Instructing

    First Aid

    ELT:
    ELT Ground School
    ELT Gnd Practice
    ELT Homing Training Air
    ELT Aural Null Training Air
    Actual Gnd ELT homing
    Actual Air ELT Homing
    Actual Air Aural Null

    Search Patterns:
    Night Search Training
    Night Search Actual
    Track Crawl
    CLA/Parallel Track
    Contour
    Expanding Square
    Sector Search
    Transport or HiBird

    Crew Positions in Flight:
    Pilot
    CAP Pilot
    Transport Pilot
    Navigator
    CAP Nav
    Spotter

    Non-Flying Duties:
    Administration
    Man CASARA Displays
    Radio Operator
    SHQ Staff
    Search Coordinator
    Standby for Tasking
