Attention All Members

On Saturday February 18, 2012 the Columbus Ft. Benning RC Flyers will have a static display at the Hollywood Connection at 1683 Whittlesey Rd. in Columbus. (Times will be announced around Februay 1). Please plan to attend and bring your planes, helicopters, radios, and anything else relating to RC. We need a large attendance at this event. The display will be in the parking lot weather permitting (inside if the weather is bad)

GUEST FLYERS

Guest flyers are welcomed at the field provided that they are sponsored and accompanied by a club member in good standing. The guest and sponsor must complete and sign the Visitor Information sheet, located on the clipboard at the flying field. The Visitor Information Sheet must be completed by the sponsor and guest at each visit and left on the clipboard.

If the guest flyer does not have a current "OPEN" AMA card the sponsoring club member must contact one of the Introductory Pilots who will complete and send to AMA a form which will give the guest the necessary insurance coverage for 60 days.  The guest may then fly only in a student/instructor relationship with the Introductory Pilot. In this situation all visits must occur within the 60 day insurance coverage period and must be in a student/instructor relationship.

Guest with a AMA "PARK FLYER" membership are considered the same as non AMA members due to the AMA "PARK FLYER" member having only limited insurance.

If the guest flyer is a current "OPEN" AMA member the sponsoring club member will be responsible for determining the guest's flying skills and deciding if the guest will be allowed to fly on their own.

All guest flyers are limited to a total of three visits per calendar year (except as noted below). Organized events, such as a fly-in, do not count as a visit. 

Under all circumstances the sponsoring club member will be responsible for informing the guest of all the club rules and will be responsible for the guest's behavior and adherence to all club rules set forth in the RC Flyers Handbook and other club documents.

EXCEPTION TO THREE VISIT RULE

1. When a guest flyer is flying in a student/instructor relationship with a Introductory Pilot the Introductory Pilot will determine how many visits are necessary for that guest flyer. The Introductory Pilot may determine that less than or more than three visits are necessary in each case.

2. Any current member in good standing of a AMA Chartered RC Club are welcome as “guest” when they are in the area.

3. Military personal on TDA (temporary duty assignment) with a current “OPEN” AMA card are welcome to make the Columbus – Ft. Benning RC Flyers their temporary club with full use of the RC Flyers field while they are in the area.
