Hey guys, last year it was mentioned that we should create some type of structured training program, instead of the informal way we train new pilots now.  As was talked about before we could look into some of our Friends of Flight clubs and see what they have come up with and then adopting something of our own, requiring completing a set amount of goals before a new pilot can fly on their own.  I am posting this to get your opinion if this is something the club still wants to do.  I believe that with a training program inplace and the tasks completed it will be a safer and less costly for the new pilot as well.  Please post your comments and let me know what you all think. 

Holy moley, that is one long training program!!!

Well, alot of info is what, I meant to say.  I didn't even read any of it yet.  I am going to bring it up at the meeting and see how many people are interested in creating a structured training program, before I start customizing it to fit our club.  We will need to appoint a committee on it and go from there.  But thanks for the info.  I agree that we need  a better training system as the one we have currently is MIA.
