Or you can Google USHPA accident reports

I don’t recall Stan saying there would definitely be a club by-law up for review/update at the next general membership meeting OR that there was no plan to accept AUA alongside USHPA.

My recollection is that Stan said that a couple of board members have discussed it among themselves (and this is true, I heard about it in passing, but can’t say I’ve discussed it much with anyone on the board. My posts on here, I think, is where I personally have discussed it. I don’t think that’s the same as having a plan. I guess your mileage could vary.

I also recall him saying that any such change would have to be put on the ballot by the board, and would have to be approved by the membership, because that’s the way the club rules are written. But that’s not the same as saying, yes we absolutely will be putting this question to the membership at the next general membership meeting.

I suppose if there were a plan, it would have to take those rules into consideration, but I don’t see any big contradiction between saying “The board hasn’t yet discussed it as a board”, and “if the board collectively decides it’s a good idea to move forward on this, it has to be approved by the membership.”

Just FYI, IPPI ratings & membership do not provide any liability insurance coverage to pilots, in case it matters to the safety of our site, or our members. Neither does the AUA, which (to me at least) seems very much in it’s infancy as far as rating requirements & training go. They basically rely on you having a USHPA rating to issue you their equivalent rating.

If having a form of liability insurance is a site requirement for our pilots to keep our flight park protected, then a USHPA membership is the easiest way to achieve this goal. I suppose AUA and IPPI pilots could purchase a separate liability policy, as long as they can provide proof to the club that they are covered.

Any changes to the club bylaws need to be approved by the majority of the CSS general members via a ballot, like we did about two years ago. We sent out a ballot with the proposed changes about 30 days in advance and discussed those changes on the forum beforehand.
