Tues Training Begins May 4 - Instructors Needed!

Tuesday Training begins on May 4 at 5:00 pm!

We missed last year in an abundance of caution about Covid.  But now we believe we can do our Tuesday training program with appropriate distancing, masks, and hand sanitizer.  

Instructors are needed.  Instructing makes YOU a better pilot, so please consider it.  Are you up to the challenge?  

If you are not sure, have a look at the ground school material we have under the Training and Education tab on our website.  The curriculum is laid out logically, and there are many good tips for instructing.

Dear Members,

The fun we all have at the field is just amazing, and we want to keep it that way.  The board sees two risks that have the potential to get the field closed or even shut down permanently, and we feel responsible for protecting your interests.  

The board is considering new rules, and we want your feedback before proceeding.  My email address is at the end of this letter.

The risks as we see them are:

Upcoming Safety and Knowledge Test

Hello Everyone,

Wanted to send out a reminder, the AMA published their latest blog and in the blog, discussed the upcoming safety and knowledge test that every recreational pilot will need to pass. The information that the test is expected in early 2021 and will be 25 multi choice questions, AMA is trying to get the FAA to allow AMA to be a test processor. Here is a link to the AMA information
