Who are considered student pilots?
If you are not identified as a pilot on the list of club members, then you are still considered as a student-pilot. When anyone new shows up at the field or at a meeting, the perspective new member needs to be checked out for his/her flying capability to determine if he can be granted solo-flight privileges immediately or needs to be trained to some extent. Reason: we want to ensure all solo-pilots are capable of controlling the model throughout the entire flight using maneuvers described in OCMs student training log-booklet. Student pilots need to follow the training process rather than attempt to teach themselves how to fly. If a student pilot attempts to teach themselves how to fly, this could risk the safety of everyone else present at the field. Therefore, no-one is exempt from being checked out to fly solo. Who can instruct or train a student pilot to learn how to fly a radio controlled model airplane? Any current solo-pilot can train students how to fly provided he feels confide
