Flight Instruction
The LIARS realize the importance of welcoming and training newcomers to the club and to the hobby in general. On this page you will find information about club initiatives and a current list of volunteer instructors for our club.
Introductory Pilot Program
The club is a participant in the AMA's Introductory Pilot Program and keeps a roster of IP instructors to help students and newcomers to the hobby. Please read the excerpt from the AMA below to learn more about the program.
From the AMA Introductory Pilot Program Web Page:
"A non-AMA member may fly at a chartered club site and receive member liability insurance protection as long as he/she is flying under the direct supervision of a club-designated Introductory Pilot Instructor. The Introductory Pilot Instructor must hold a current AMA Open membership with the “Intro Pilot” classification. Supervised instruction must take place at an AMA chartered club’s site, and must be closely supervised. 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 Instructor, for a period of 60 consecutive days starting from the first session. No other AMA benefits are provided to the non-AMA member."
If you are a student or just wish to give the hobby of RC flight a try please contact the club with the information provided here.
