AMA and Disabilities
The board of directors at our club recently recinded a members solo status because his defliberator had ennergised and incapacitated him while he was flying.
This turned out to be a very controversial event at our club. The member is only allowed to fly with a qualified pilot in the box with him.
The board of directors insist that they uphold their decision without the support of the vast majoity of our club members because it is a "safety issue " They also say that AMA advises them to do this. Does anyone know of any precedents to this action and does AMA have a policy in place regarding disabilities.
I contend that the BOD is guilty of discrimination, and that they are setting a very dangerous precedent and may be forcing the AMA to instill policy that they would of preferred to stay away from. All comments appreciated
