Default RE: To Fly or Not to Fly?

ORIGINAL: raideron

Well I would talk to the pres. of the club, and see whats going on, But
take into consideration if the training is at a high level now with other
people... You know these instructors do not get paid, and most have a
job, But they should have worked out a schedule for you.. Is there other
members there? Talk to them, Just maybe one of them will take you
under his/her wing...
I agree. Talk to one of the officers. Maybe there is a procedure you don't know about. Or maybe people just forgot.

I ask people to call me to let me know when they are available to fly.

If you know who the instructors are, get their e-mail. Send them a note as to when YOU are available. Don't make them chase you. You chase them.

Most of the time it is just a matter of people forgetting.

Definately show up at the field with your stuff every chance you can. Talk to people. Ask them to look it over. Run the engine a few times. Do all that stuff. Ask every time if there is anyone who can take the plane up for a test flight. Just be there!!!!!!

Someone will help you, but you have to ask and ask again. Don't expect them to chase you.
