Funding is available through the Flight Training & Safety Committee to support instructor training or safety-related initiatives.
Instructor Training
If a club is interested in holding an instructor training camp, a member of the Flight Training & Safety Committee may be available to attend the camp. Clubs are expected to arrange the logistics of the camp and also manage the camp while the FTSC member would assist, provide oversight and ensure the training performed is up to standard. Several clubs have taken advantage of this in the past and these camps have been a great success. Any costs related to the attendance of the FTSC member would be covered by SAC, so there is no cost to the club for this. Clubs that are interested in taking advantage of this are encouraged to speak with the Flight Training & Safety Committee in the early stages of planning the camp to ensure someone is available to attend.
Safety
The Flight Training & Safety Committee can visit your club for the purposes of performing a safety audit or to perform a safety seminar. Any travel costs to have the Flight Training & Safety Committee member travel to your club will be covered by SAC so there is no cost to the club for this. If your club is interested in receiving a safety audit or holding a safety seminar, contact the Flight Training & Safety Committee to inquire.
