Default RE: How to handle a difficult pilot!

Ok, the problem is that the club maintains a frequency board for safety purposes. I seems strange that a non-club member with an AMA card would get angry when asked to put his card up on the board, but this fellow does not see the safety issue. As it has been commented already, what is the position of the County concerning the safe operation of the flying site. This info seems to be missing here. I suggest having a meeting with the County personnel about the flying site safety, and what they think about the frequency board idea as something all pilots need to agree on before using the site. Once you have a mandate by the county, then the problem becomes their responsibility to discuss the card issue with the non-compliance pilot. Only a civil battery charge, and court case will ensue if the County does agree to the frequency board. If that is the case, I would prefer to fly only when this pilot is not there. It would be interesting just how he would handle a crash due to his piloting skills where property, and people were hurt.
