| How do I fly there? |
|
In order to fly with us at Flaming Geyser, you must first have an AMA Card (get one here) and then must obtain a Solo Permit Sticker to place on your card. To get this sticker, you must first study the rules found in the management plan and then contact a solo evaluation pilot to take your written and flight exam.
If you pass the test, you will be given a sticker for your AMA Card and may post it on the frequency board and fly.
If you do not have your Solo Permit Sticker, but you do have an AMA card, you may ask a pilot who does have their sticker, to stand with you while you fly until you obtain yours.
If you need to renew your Solo Permit Sticker then go to the documents page
and download the 2008 Solo Card Renewal form.
