Experienced Pilots must fly under the sponsorship of a Regular Club Member.

Beginner Pilots must fly on a Buddy Box under the direction of a Club Certified Instructor.

A Beginner Pilot shall be instructed by one or more Certified Club Instructors until such time as the Instructor(s) consider the Beginner Pilot ready to perform the Pilot Qualification Demonstration.

An Experienced Pilot may opt to perform the Pilot Qualification Demonstration at any time he wishes, contingent upon making arrangements for the presence of Club Certified Instructors.

Prior to the start of the Pilot Qualification Demonstration, the Club Certified Instructors shall confirm by verbal examination that the Pilot has a working knowledge of the Club’s Field Safety Rules.

The Pilot Qualification Demonstration will consist of two solo flights, each flight encompassing all specified elements of the demonstration.
