aggie. -- "I know AMA has a couple of different programs to cover non AMA flyers. The first being the one time flight and the second being the instructor pilot program. The problem with either one of these is they are too short and/or cumbersome. Why not modify these to allow a 3 or 4 month instructor program with a buddy box? You wouldn't allow someone to solo at an AMA chartered field without being a member of AMA but you could allow them to be a student pilot on a buddy box. "
It's all there. Get a temporary membership. OTOH I find others trending to instructing like I do.
AMA and join the club if you wish to learn to land. I don't (yet) charge for my instructional services, however I am not going to train anyone that cannot or will not afford to belong to the club. Did a lot of that. [:'(] Get them to make one good landing and off to either fly off the road, out of a pasture, or schoolyard. I refuse to be responsible (liable) for that behavior, or waste my time for someone too cheap to pay their way.
Maybe your AMA program would work, but not with me.
