Matt,
Is AMA
required at your field, or is it one of those "open" community park type fields?
If AMA is required at your field, then you, or whomever is in charge needs to
put a stop to non-waivered pilots flying turbines! Having this type of activity not only means that the AMA insurance carrier will very likely deny a claim if an accident happens (for all involved and also the landowner), but it puts the privilege of all of us to fly jets in jeopardy.
All of us,
as AMA members, have a duty to insure that the AMA Safety Code is followed by all AMA members and at all AMA fields and events. To not do so is simply inviting the powers-that-be to put us under government regulation if we can't police ourselves!
