How do you get someone to take the job of safety officer? It's a job that no one seems to want because of the requirements presented by AMA so the club can retain it's charter status. It seems to be a lot of responsibility to place on one person...no one can be at the the field all the time. How does your club handle this situation? Where does the responsibility fall...any attorneys out there flying R/C?
Comments appreciated.
As of yet, the
only requirement placed on the club SO is that he have an Email address.
Ostensibly he is to be a conduit for safety information promulgated by AMA.
Now then, if AMA is to get into into the 21st century and use the most timely available communications medium to pass along safety info, I have to ask why couldn't they likewise pass along the upcoming EC meeting agenda, including all of the motions to be considered
before they have been acted on and then sprung on us as an unwelcome surprise? Oh, I know the entrenched oligarchy wouldn't have considered that the medium operates in duplex mode. Maybe we shouldn't tell them until after they start using it for their broadcasts???
