Oceanside Open tandem pilots

[vince price]

I'm starting to hear about some people interested in taking a tandem flight during the event.  Are there any USHPA certified tandem pilots intending to come and possibly take some passengers?  Paid of course.

Late breaking news!

We will NOT be able to do tandems at the event.  Our event insurance specifies no tandems or training at the event.  FAA has cracked down on the exemptions so things are different this year. 

Sorry, Mark. 

PS. I will update the web site to clarify this.

Please don't. If it's taking place at or during the event, it's associated with the

event. We're asking pilots to please respect the rules and abide by them. There

are plenty of other opportunities to fly tandems for instructional purposes, and

teaching new students to fly during the middle of a recreational flying event is

not within the bounds of what we're supposed to be doing. 

It would NOT be advantageous to the sport for tandem instructors to show up

and conduct flight instruction in the middle of the event. Most likely, doing that

would threaten cancellation of the event insurance in future years. We are already

on thin ice, this year, given the number of accidents that have happened at the

previous few Oceanside events.

Please don't push the rules on this. It's a recreational flying event, not a training

session. All tandem flying is instructional ONLY, per the most recent mandate

from FAA. There is no training at this event. Therefore there are no tandems.

And what if the person who is the tandem pilot is not signed up for the event? Since this is an open site to other pilots besides those attending the event, how can they control that? And again, if the people flying tandem are not signed up, it would not be part of the event, so it has zero effect on the insurance.

In truth, it would be advantages to the sport if a tandem pilot or two did show up, not sign up for the event, but took out folks who would be interested in the sport during times that there may be few pilots in the air. 

Thanks,

Unregistered pilots will NOT be launching at this event.  No one goes off launch without a wrist band issued at registration. 

There is a double check process for this. Oceanside launch is private property so we can control who is even allowed on the property.  

Our state park permit gives us control of CLO launch from 9 am Saturday until 6 pm Sunday.  

Unregistered pilots are free to fly outside of those hours or at other sites.

Mark(s),

It might be good for out of town tandem pilots to know what sites are encompassed in this event. CLO, Oceanside, and Kiwanda?

Thanks for getting the word out!

Ryan

In Mark's post above it mentioned that the sites in question are Oceanside and CLO on Saturday and Sunday. Weather looks excellent. Hope to see lots of DAR pilots!
