In order to fly at competition we must have at least one person who has their Transport Canada Advanced Licenses. Internally to WARG we prefer pilots who have followed our training path. Additionally, we want to feature a spare pilot in the case of illness or other unforeseen events in the future.
To operate our video transmitter on licenced bands one member with an Amateur Radio Operator Certificate is needed.
Members who participate in our flight tests and flight test preparation are preferred. Flight test participation is how people learn the skills required to have a meaningful contribution at competition.
In a similar vein, involvement in the team is highly valued. We want members to enjoy the privilege of competition, and hope their interest in the team in conjunction with their participation at competition is leveraged to pass their knowledge on to more junior members.
Those with a leadership position in WARG were prioritized due to the pressure to perform and self-manage at competition.
At least 4 drivers are requiredso we can take two vehicles and drive in 6-hour shifts as per SDC requirements. They need to have G or equivalent so SDC can certify. They need to be comfortable driving for long hours with up to 5 other people in the car. Older and more experienced drivers are preferred.
We need to take a trailer to competition. The university offers trailer certification so anyone with a license should be able to get it. At least 2 of the drivers need a trailer cert.
All competition roles need to be filled. We want at least one person to handle the responsibilities of each sub-team.
Sub-teams more critical to performance at competition, for this year or future years, will be prioritized. For example, in 2023, Project ICARUS was a mechanical headache, and required at least 3 mechanical members to maintain and fix the drone while at competition.
