JR said, "If an AMA member takes compensation for training another AMA member to fly, should their AMA insurance be in effect? The AMA does not currently cover such training."
My question;
Many clubs have a "training program" where they have several instructors. The instructors spend their time with the students, and log it. The club pays $X.00/hour for their trouble, but the student never pays anything. Does this mean that no one is covered if somthing happens?
