Our  Member Instructors are willing to help with  flight training and we have Club Examiners to test applicants for ‘A’ and ‘B’ Certificates.

All help, training and examination is purely voluntarily unpaid at the field.

The club uses the BMFA Achievement Scheme as a basis for assessing pilot safety and competence. Members without the necessary certification may only fly when other club members are present.

As new member when you visit the field please introduce yourself as a new novice joiner.

If you have a model ready to go. One of our members will check it out, and test fly it for you.

We are all there to help each other so please don’t feel that you are making a nuisance of yourself. We have ALL been there.

Beginners/novices are required to be accompanied by a Member Instructor using a buddy system if appropriate (the club does not have buddy equipment and so if required the learner would need to supply this).

Members once they feel confident with sufficient experience are encouraged to put themselves forward as a candidate for BMFA 'A' Certification test.

The Committee does reserve the right to waiver the certification required in the case of long-standing club members who can demonstrate the necessary competence, but will always in the 1st instance encourage BMFA 'A' Certification as the preferred option.
