Pilot Accomplishment Program

The goal of the NNPRCC Pilot Accomplishment Program, which is a conglomeration of many other fine programs, is to recognize individual proficiency and accomplishment in RC flying through a set of successively harder tasks that measure a pilot’s skills. The modeler has the opportunity to complete these tasks with a plane of his or her choice. These tasks are designed to challenge and entertain, while allowing the pilot to measure and improve his flying skills against a proven set of standards.

The NNPRCC Pilot Accomplishment Program is organized into several levels of achievement, starting with Level 1, the simplest. These levels are arranged so that beginning flyers can pace themselves and gain confidence and skill. There is no time limit or pressure for completion of any task or level. Accomplishment of individual tasks may take only a few weeks or completion of levels may extend over several years, depending on the individual’s own interest and activity. Participation in the NNPRCC Pilot Accomplishment Program is strictly voluntary. The following procedures will be followed to attain each level of achievement:

1. Each participating pilot is responsible for obtaining signatures of any two club members in good standing for each task on the appropriate Accomplishment Level Form.

2. It is the responsibility of the pilot to provide proof of contest participation/placement for contests where other NNPRCC members are not available to act as witnesses. This proof could take the form of published contest results or the signature of the CD.

3. The pilot should practice the individual tasks until he is comfortable and then ask the club members to witness the attempt and to sign off the task upon successful completion.

4. The pilot must declare each task prior to completing the maneuver.

5. The tasks within an individual level may be completed in any order.

6. All tasks from the preceding level need to be completed prior to obtaining signatures on subsequent levels.

7. When all tasks for the current level have been signed-off, submit the completed Accomplishment Form to the Program Directors or the Club Secretary.
