Default RE: New Pilots - A Growing "Problem"

check out the Markham park Pilots assoc cub site at www.mppaonline.com they have a new check off list for new pilots who join the club. we took up the same issue and its still a work in progress. The problem we have is that it is a public field; And we constantly have "newbies" show up and because of ego, or just plain lack of knowledge turn on their transmitters and knock some one down without even understanding what they just did. They are usually pretty easy to spot though,and if a club member is present we try to explain the rules of the park and AMA(some argue that they dont need the card) but fortunatly its a park rule. we try to bring them into the club, but again;its a public field and you dont have to join to fly there, just have an AMA card. hope the site helps.
