RC Familiarization Flights for non-AMA members?
Would like to hear various input on how your club(s) or flying sites accommodate the non-AMA member who wants to have some "testing the waters" RC flights on buddy box with qualified and AMA-member "training pilots" ? Here's the conditions specifically...
1. Flying site owner requires users of facility to have AMA (or equivalent personal liability)
2. Liability coverage through AMA is valid for the AMA member only, if I recall the fine print correctly, so the "training pilot" is covered but NOT if in violation of Safety Code.
3. Is there any liability extension of AMA coverage to a non-AMA member meeting this scenario?
I'd like to hear how different locations and situations have evolved to permit the non-AMA'er to get some stick time and find out if they really want to get into the game or not.....
Lawyers or paralegals with specific knowledge of statutory limits on these subjects more than welcome to share what they may know.
