Dooo itttt!!!!

I'm still confused as to how someone gets to have a fly without an A certificate?

From : The famous Charmouth fly-in page

TX CONTROL: £5 per pilot per day. Plus £5 deposit for ID card (refunded on return of the card at the end of the day) NOTE: Everyone with both 35MHz & 2.4GHz must register at tx control. You must produce proof of BMFA membership or you will not be allowed to fly. All pilots require a minimum of an 'A(H)' certificate in order to fly solo at this event, however if you do not have your ‘A(H)' certificate, then you MUST be accompanied by a ‘B(H)’ certificated pilot whenever you fly. However the organisers reserve the right to exclude ANY pilot who is considered by them to be flying in a dangerous or un-safe manner

Yeah I read that but do I need to bring along my own B certified minion (don't know any! Lol) or is it a case of bagging one there?

[MarkG_R1]

You should be able to pick up a B certificate holder there

[Alex Hawtin]

I'm fine standing behind anyone that needs a caller

Just let me know if I'm needed.

[gazmk2]

Ah I see! I wasn't sure on the wording of "accompanied by" lol. So basically one would need a B cert holder to merely observe ones flying?

[Alex Hawtin]

Basically yes just for safety reasons really.

[gazmk2]

Sounds fair enough! Hell of a difference between someone being a bit wayward with a 900g electric foamy park flyer and getting too wayward with a 700 with 1.6m wirling blades of death!

[MarkG_R1]

I can't get my garmin nuvi to accept the coordinates
Is there a nearby pub or something that I can aim for?

If you head for charmouth and then take the A35 towards Axminster I'm sure the video below will make sense, Its less than 5 mins from Newlands the Caravan park.

You going Dave?

So BMFA insurance holders only? Kind of sucks for those with RCHA insurance.

You can fly but you'll have to pay for temporary bmfa cover,

For this reason I won't be renewing with RCHA when it's due

[Mike Sanders]

Waveydavey will be going along with several other well behaved members of the MK club. The rest of us will have a nice, almost empty, flying field.

shame as that means the BMFA are not being very fair and are showing contempt for any other insurance out there.They should be reported to the monoplies comission :-)
