This provisional waiver thing is kind of a new thing for us too.

The way I understand it is that the Provisional Waiver becomes active the minute you get the 3 signatures. Nothing gets sent into the AMA at that time. We can do the ground school at the same event for future submittal.

When the candidate is ready to apply his or her regular waiver, they send the Provisional Waiver in with the other materials normally needed (ground school sign off, questionnaire, etc). This has to occur within 60 days of granting of the Provisional Waiver.

We figured we would try it with the new shop Rookie with Mr. Somes on the buddy box sticks (he takes blame very well)

BTW at the Basin we have been having very good luck with Safety Rallies and Fun Flys, we control frequencies and airspace as we will at the Jet Rally. The airspace is a little tight but nothing like some of the places I won't mention here.
