For years PMAC has also long been regarded as having one of the best no nonsense training programs. Training is officially done every Thursday, beginning at 6:00 pm until dark and begins in May and continues into October.

We dedicate a great deal of time and effort to our new students.  With an emphasis on safety all pilots will receive comprehensive ground schooling and correct pit procedure instruction.  Your aircraft will be thoroughly inspected by one of our AMA instructors before flight training begins.

Pilots will have the benefit of learning with a buddy box system (Futaba and JR supported), progressive flight instruction, and flexible training by appointment.

For those who have yet to buy, complete your model, or even commit in some way to the hobby of RC flying, yet have the need to know what its all about, then take advantage of one of PMAC's several club trainers for a demonstration flight.

Check out this video taken at a recent training night. TRAINING NIGHT VIDEO

For more information about joining PMAC and our student pilot program, check out our Frequently Asked Questions web page, visit our field, attend our meeting, contact our chief instructor, or look at our membership application.

Members note; without expressed approval of Chief Flight Instructor, the field is closed to casual flying during "trainer night".
