ARCC has instituted the AMA's new Introductory Pilot program... for the 2005 year.

The program is intended to introduce the non-AMA member to aeromodeling while providing liability insurance coverage to the non-AMA member and the chartered club.

A non-AMA member may fly at a chartered club field and receive member liability insurance protection as long as he/she is flying under the direct supervision of a club-designated Introductory Pilot. The Introductory Pilot must hold a current AMA open membership license with the "Intro Pilot" classification. Supervised flights must take place at an AMA charted club's field, and must be closely supervised in a one-on-one relationship. The non-AMA member will have the same liability insurance coverage that other AMA members receive, solely while under the direct, one-on-one supervision of the Intro Pilot, for a period of 30 consecutive days starting from the first session. No other AMA benefits are provided to the non-AMA member.

This is a great opportunity for ARCC members to bring their friends or relatives out to the field and get them "started" flying... without joining the AMA... but having them completely covered by the AMA liability insurance...

ARCC Introductory Pilots: Jerry Walters, John Woods, Ken Verett, Larry Scheuermann.
