Preliminary Agreement

Good Samaritan Waiver: Flight instructors will gladly assist other members with the understanding that hard landings can happen for many reasons. Instructors are not responsible when mishaps occur.

1. All pilots are expected to pre-flight their aircraft for safety and reliability. Student pilots should consult a flight instructor with questions and request a visual check when needed. All aircraft must be labeled with the required identification and ID numbers. All pilots are requested to display their identification badges when flying.
2. Volunteering is essential to preserving our club and providing good stewardship of the land. All members are encouraged to contribute at some level when possible.
3. Members are expected to show mutual respect toward all other members and guests. Serious threats, either verbal or physical, will not be tolerated and will be grounds for dismissal.
4. We encourage all members to help when another pilot has a need or to quickly consult with a flight instructor when safety is a concern. Guidance should be provided professionally, using a subtle reminder when an established guideline or safety issue is involved. Repeat offenses should be reported to the Safety Officer or another club officer when needed.
5. We are the caretakers of this public Greenway area. It is the responsibility of all members to keep the area clean and protected. Everyone should feel comfortable giving a friendly reminder to others who may forget.
6. New members and club leadership will both have 60 days to determine whether the club is a good fit.
7. Helicopters, drones, and other FPV aircraft may fly at the field, but they are different and have the potential to create safety concerns. There is a designated FPV area at the west end of the field. However, these aircraft may fly on the main field when there are no safety concerns and other members present give their approval. FPV flyers must always have a spotter.
8. All members must agree to read and acknowledge the bylaws and safety standards established by the club.
   These documents can be found here or may be requested from the club.
9. To maximize the use of existing tables, please do not use the preparation tables as a hangar during busy times. Move your aircraft off the tables after setup so arriving members can use them.
10. This agreement form shall be reviewed and signed as part of the application for admission to the Tri County R/C Club.
