You may want to read my opening posts on this thread. You suggested inviting the newbies to the Fly In .... I stated that assistance has to be more readily available. Accordingly we are offering the Saturday morning program.

Now could i do the same send in the 5.00 and be covered while not at an AMA field but at the soccer field?
You have brought up a very interesting question which I have this morning put to the AMA. I have asked that consideration be given to Club Introductory Pilot Instructors to be allowed to provide instruction to pilots of the Park Flyer aircraft which fall within the limitations of the PPP at sites considered suitable for the Flying of Park Flyers ( as defined under the Park Flyer Safe Operating Recommendations and AMA National Safety Code).
I expect this is where the AMA will have to consider their past plea for the partnering between Park Flyers and Clubs per their document [link=http://www.modelaircraft.org/PDF-files/713.pdf]" RECOMMENDATIONS FOR AMA CHARTED CLUBS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PARK FLYERS"[/link]" .
Instructing another pilot utilizing a Buddy Box can be performed by any AMA insured member since he remains ultimately the Pilot in Control at the club field or away. If he release control by handing over the transmitter he is no longer directly in control and there sits the question of coverage for both him and the student.
I look forward to the AMA responses next week.
Intro Pilot Instructors should meet the qualifications outlined by the AMA and I expect the site away from the club used for Park Flying has to meet the criteria above.
I imagine coverage could be extended by the insurers provided there are guidelines. Let us see what comes forth from the Academy.
