Stayhydrated in the

When flying under the scorching
summer sun, simple precautions
need to be taken to avoid
dehydration, sun damage and
illness.
It can be all too easy to get so
caught up in the thrill of flight with
your mates, that you forget to
keep hydrated throughout the day.
Maintaining your water intake while
on the field is a must, preventing
any heat stroke or feeling faint. As
important as the water consumption
is, so too is wearing a hat and
continually applying sunscreen.
Keeping your skin protected from
the sizzle of the sun will eliminate
any risks of getting burnt or feeling
ill.
Reporting incidents
Creating a 75-year legacy
as Australia’s largest flying
organisation, the MAAA is always
committed to providing the best
and safest flying experience for our
members.
We can effectively manage accidents
and incidents for our members and
clubs, to ensure that the airways are
always safe and our pilots are injury
free.
When an accident or incident occurs,
the MAAA takes those affected
under their wing, ensuring that our
members get back to safe, fun flying
sooner. This is achieved through
managing any insurance claims on
their behalf as well as assistance
or corrective action when required.
If an accident or incident occurs,
we speak directly with clubs and
members to ensure that they are
safe, they feel supported and that a
resolution is reached quickly.
Unlike any other association,
the MAAA conduct thorough
investigations in order to ascertain
what accidents or incidents are
trending. We then seek to put
corrective action in place, reducing
the potential risks for all the MAAA
community while protecting the
reputation and future of the sport
loved by many.
The MAAA has built an online Incident
and Accident Management tool for
clubs. Read our 7 simple steps for
managing an incident and accident
