Training Fee
I went out and visited the flying field a couple of weeks ago, at that time they basically told me to bring my plane out when I was ready.
I called the guy I had met at the field last week to see if I could set something up for future training and about radio compatibility.
He told me that they roughly had 25 new members in training and that instructors were hard to come by. He then went on to say that they were going to have a meeting to determine if they were going to charge a fee for training. In the past he stated that higher members had shot down the idea.
I got the impression that they were not looking for any new members right now, but he told me to bring my plane out and that they would get someone with me. Seemed like a nice guy, I think they might be a little busy with all the new people coming in though.
Anyhow, I would rather get someone on the phone and set something up with a particular instructor rather than showing up at the field with my plane and not knowing who my instructor will be.
There are quite a few clubs here in Ga. so Im sure I wont have a problem.
Oh and I did just get an email from the AMA with a confirmation number which serves for 30 days. I had no idea they would get back to me so fast.
