Charging for printing at the airport?

What's the deal? How do they expect us to print a new weight and balance before each flight with $8.00 on our U-Card. I have other classes I need to print stuff off for with that $8.

wight and balance? people still do that?

This seems quite silly to apply this procedure out at the airport. On campus, yeah that works. Maybe they should allow free printing at the airport for Avit students, something that will probably happen ..... I hope ....

The goal is AIMS is free. Otherwise you will get more credit for that.

As ProudPilot said, the higher-ups are working to get AIMS printouts exempted from the print rule, elsewise I'm gonna have to stop putting students in for stage checks...


...Actually last I heard the airport isn't charging for printouts.

As of the last email I got, CFIs are exempt but students aren't allowed to print except from the flight planning room computers...and have to pay for their printing. Solution: keep a dry-erase TOLD card in the aircraft book, fill in the data from AIMS on it. Problem solved. Of course, UND Aerospace will never do it.

Sounds like a cheap DIY project. Are we gonna get extra cash on our U-Cards for this? Something tells me our paper usage is significantly higher than the average undergrad...

I definitely won't be printing NOTAMs anymore, that's for sure.

THings must have changed since I went to school at UND... we just had to do the weight and balance... not necessarily print it. I remember a couple of instructors that wanted to see that I did the necessary calculation on the computer but never required me to print it out...

I had a meeting with a lead instructor about the whole TOLD card situation. They want to physically see the card in the plane mainly for the takeoff briefing. I have an app on my phone that does W/B and I asked if a student has access to it, could we just use that. Answer was nope.

On a side note the whole reason why all this is happening is because some people are printing +100 pages a day anywhere in the Aerospace complex from Ryan Hall to the airport

Seems like you could just write the pertinant information down and skip the printing...

UND.

That is all.

Aaaaaaaand...Leo's just suspended the print controls at the airport...

OOoooooohhhh.... that'll fix all the problems.:clap:

Hmmm...maybe there will be paper in the printers now when you need it

When I went out to the airport today for my lesson, I was told and shown that printer is no longer being charged for. I believe management quickly realized how much it would cost stage check students who need to print out soooooo much before each check.

wooohoo
