Flying Site Development:
The Academy is encouraging the development of new, officially recognized AMA Park Pilot Program sites in metro areas throughout the US. As an aid in reaching this goal, we’ve developed a special “How to Start a Park Flying Site” turnkey package; when using this, members who are trying to secure a field won’t have to start from scratch when they approach landowners or officials who are responsible for regulating public facilities. The package includes a DVD to show landowners and park officials what park flying is all about––and how different it is from the engine-powered, radio-control flying with which they may already be familiar. There are tips on how to approach officials and landowners, plus instructions on how to set up a field. There is even a guide covering how to quickly and efficiently organize a club, its bylaws, and field rules. Best of all, members will be able to inform landowners and officials that they would be covered by AMA site liability coverage in the amount of $2.5 million, which should serve as a great incentive. The goal is to make it easier for official AMA-recognized flying sites to be developed quickly and in large numbers.
