ORIGINAL: Mode One
I am uncertain how both Piper Chuck and RCKen came to the ridiculous conclusion I was recommending RJM1982 fly without AMA, or, at a non AMA site!
Did I say anything about AMA?
I have no idea if the site is a site operated by an AMA club; or not, or if that club has rules, or not! Mr. RJM1982 suggested he was going to join AMA again, so he could fly there, so I assume he would do so!
All I really said was that it was not LAW that he has to have an instructor to check him out, but went on to recommend that he do so! I totally agree that he should abide by any guidelines stipulated by property owners and the clubs at the locations he should chose to fly!
RJM had already posted that he couldn't fly there without being cleared. As far as the site in question is concerned, this is "the LAW".
I don't care one bit that I have been made out to be the heavy here and expect an apology is in order from both of you as you have misconstrued what I have said, completely!
I'm MAD!!
Fine, be MAD!!
If I misunderstood your post, I apologize. Your statement, "Still, going up with an instructor is a good idea and if you can arrange it, I would do so,
unless you have confidence in your abilities to be successful!" was vague and, as has become obvious, could easily be interpreted to mean if you think you are good enough, go ahead and fly there even though you're not approved. It's good to know that was not what you meant.
