BUDDY BOX ONLY...until your "Wings" are earned!

Unread post by retiredVTT » Mon Oct 21, 2013 5:46 pm

Received word today from MAAC Zone B Director, Regis Landry, that when instructing a new flyer,( MAAC member or non MAAC member) the two people must be buddied together with separate Transmitters.

No longer is it permissible from MAAC to hand a Transmitter back and forth when teaching or assisting a student flyer. If this is done and an accident occurs no Insurance claim will be honored by MAAC.

A student flyer is described as any flyer WITHOUT THEIR WINGS.

Please make your fellow member flyers aware of this, as it means that only Instructors who have the proper buddy-box equipment are able to legally assist student flyers.
