FREE FLIGHT INSTRUCTION


Flight Training: The Ft Worth Thunderbirds offer free training for those that are interested in the hobby. During the year when we have “Daylight Savings Time” you can show up at the field on Thursday’s between 5:00-6:00PM and an instructor will be available. We offer training until dark or as long as we have safe conditions. Other training times can be established on an individual basis by contacting the club or an instructor and arranging a time to meet. Even though this would be very seldom, it is possible that due to business or personal reasons no instructor coverage would be available on a particular date. Therefore, feel free to contact any of the instructors listed below if you have questions regarding training availability.

 

Please Note: The Fort Worth Thunderbirds welcomes all of those who are interested in this hobby. However, due to time constraints and available resources, “Priority” scheduling will be given to people who have joined or are in the process of joining the FT Worth Thunderbirds.

Early in your training, your instructor will inform you that you should join the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) as soon as possible.  This is a requirement to fly at our field and it is mandatory once you have completed training. This also provides you with proper insurance coverage to fly at AMA sanctioned flying fields.  You can find out more about the AMA and apply for membership by going to our Affiliations section. Our instructors will provide you with a "Ground School" presentation. You can access it by clicking HERE. PowerPoint is required.
