AMA Introductory Pilot Program
(Applies to all categories of model flying---RC, CL, and FF)

          The AMA Introductory Pilot Program is not intended to alter or replace any instructor program offered by AMA Chartered Clubs for their AMA licensed members. This program is intended to introduce the non-AMA member to aeromodeling while providing liability insurance coverage to the non-AMA member and the Chartered Club. A non-AMA member may fly at a Chartered Club field and receive member liability insurance protection as long as he/she is flying under the direct supervision of a club-designated Introductory Pilot. The Introductory Pilot must hold a current AMA open membership license with the "Intro Pilot" classification. Supervised flights must take place at an AMA Chartered Club's field, and must be closely supervised in a one-on-one relationship. The non-AMA member will have the same liability insurance coverage that other AMA members receive, solely while under the direct, one-on-one supervision of the Intro Pilot, for a period of 30 consecutive days starting from the first session. No other AMA benefits are provided to the non-AMA member. Participation in this program is on a one-time basis only; an extension cannot be granted for any reason. This program covers training activities only, and does not constitute permission to fly in any organized event of AMA members or clubs, sanctioned or otherwise. No AMA card will be issued to the non-AMA member during the 30-day introduction period. Below is a list of AMA District 2 Introductory Pilot Instructors.
