NC 2012 Formation Clinic, April 20-22 - Sign up information

[ronschreck]

This could be YOU!



A Yahoo group has been established to collect and disseminate information for the NC 2012 Formation Clinic at the Stanly County, NC airport (KVUJ) on the weekend of 20-22 April 2012 (rain date: April 27-29).

Click HERE to join the group and sign up to attend the clinic.

IMPORTANT: You must access the DATABASE section of this group and ADD A RECORD with the requested information in order to sign up for the clinic.

Participating pilots should have excellent stick and rudder skills. This clinic is only for RV aircraft. Sorry, no RV-10’s, however we may consider including RV-12’s if at least four RV-12 pilots sign up. We will not mix RV-12’s with other models. All aircraft must be in excellent condition. Beginner's aircraft must have dual controls (throttle, stick and rudder), intercom, and PTT in both positions. No vernier throttles allowed! In addition to the normal paperwork required of all aircraft (registration, airworthiness certificate, weight & balance), pilot certificate and current medical, you will need to bring proof of liability insurance. We will arrange for competitive rates at a hotel in nearby Albemarle, NC and will provide contact information soon. We will provide dinner on Friday evening, and lunch on Saturday. Further detailed information will be posted to this group as it is available.

Those with prior formation experience will be challenged at a level commensurate with your level of experience. Experienced pilots who wish to take a check ride to earn an FFI Wingman or Flight Lead card must secure a recommendation for the check ride prior to the clinic and request a check ride not later than April 1st.

Regardless of your level of formation expertise, you will find the clinic to be a challenging, rewarding and fun experience.

We have a few pilots who have joined the Yahoo group but have not signed up on the DATABASE. If you want to attend, don't delay signing up. We will have to cut off new entrants at some point when it gets too large to manage.

Ron, I tried to fill out the database page tonight however you have to be approved by the administrator before you can access the database page. I will try again in the morning. That might be the issue others are having.

You probably didn't sign in to the group. Your membership has been approved but you still need to sign in to access the database.

Quick note, just to answer the question: Yes...the 2012 West Coast Formation Clinic will be the following weekend (April 27-29, Madera, CA). We'll be putting out the word next week, in a separate thread (don't want to steal any thunder from or compete with our bro's back east...who'll be running a clinic you won't want to miss!). More later...now back to the NC 2012 Formation Clinic...

Cheers,
Bob
