Clubs ...... AMA Clubs are required under AMA rules to require membership in the AMA.
well, clubs are required to have their club MEMBERS be members of AMA,
not that AMA mandates that clubs require AMA membership to fly at the club site.... they just (obviously) dont have
AMA insurance for that
and that is the double standard that LCS is talking about
:
Folks get all uptight when it is suggested
that non-AMA members
bring their own insurance and fly at ama clubs without AMA insurance
Yet the same folks dont see anything wrong with
commercial/demo/etc pilots
bringing THEIR own insurance to fly at AMA clubs without AMA insurance
Just to try to keep things straight,
The question to AMA that LCS linked to
asked about commercial vs. non-commercial flying at an AMA field,
not about whether the demo flyer was an AMA member or not.
So where is this double standard you talk about being demonstrated?
"bring their own insurance" that Illona talked about was over and above AMA insurance
so that the demo flyer is definitely covered and not rely on the Westchester policy.
