Flight Instructors Must;
i. Read, know and follow AMA codes of ethics.
ii. Must minimally be an intermediate pilot. Preferably experienced in High Wing and Low Wing airplanes. No Low wing plane experience does not immediately exclude qualification. If you have clear experience in High Wing planes and can competently/repeatedly demonstrate all position flight you are an intermediate pilot per HRF’s view.
iii. Need to know what the components are in a model, what their function is and be able to explain in a way to inform a complete stranger to the hobby. Be able to define items such as ESC, Servos, Prop Sizes, Motor Types, KV ratings, Battery types, mAH, RX, TX
iv. ‘Buddy-Box’ and AMA Membership HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! You are exposing yourself to risk and the ones around you when flying model aircraft. These risks increase when you are training a new pilot. A 'Buddy-Box' offers better quality training and the instructor full control instantly upon a sign of trouble or potential thereof. AMA insurance offers protection in case of an accident, it is rather inexpensive and at most Airfield's a prerequisite. I can not stress enough the importance of AMA Membership
v. High-Wing plane required to be provided by Instructor. Provide enough fuel/batteries for 3-10 minute flights. I prefer more but at the minimum three 10 minute flights.
vi. Know, understand and accept the fact you the instructor are taking full responsibility of the outcome from training a new pilot. You will without any doubt need to respond to errors made by pilots in training. HorizonRcFlyers places these guidelines in place to help put in place the most qualified candidates to be performing training duties however HorizonRcFlyers is not responsible for injury, damage of property or loss of equipment during training. You the Flight Instructor assume FULL responsibility when training and when the student if flying this is AMA’s understanding so it is HRF’s.
