Default Does Your Club Require a Spotter

We REQUIRE a spotter if:
1. someone has done something patently unsafe until they prove that it was an isolated incident.

If a flyer is put on probation because of violating a safety rule, we require a spotter up to 6 months.

We suggest a spotter if you're new to the field, an admitted novice, orthink you need one.

People generally volunteer to spot covertly (they walk up and offer their assistance or just stand by and keep an eye on the other planes).
