Young Eagle Coordinators,
?
Le Tourneau University has expressed interest in participating in our Young Eagles Rallies. ?Attached is an email I sent to them listing the requirements. I spoke with David Leiting at EAA headquarters regarding their interest in their participation and they are allowed to participate and they must meet the same requirements as anyone else. ?Brad is the chief pilot and Fred is the Dean of their department.?

Lupita?Begin forwarded message: Dear Brad, Thank you for your interest in participating in our Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Young Eagles program. ?There are three upcoming rallies in this area and all of the chapters would love to have your participation. ?The first one is on Saturday April 15 at Sulphur Springs Airport from 8-2 and there are already 250 youngsters (ages 8-17) registered for this event; the second one is on Saturday May 13 at Wood County Airport from 8-2 and we will have 150 openings; the third one is at Gladewater Airport on Saturday May 20 from 8-12. The EAA criteria for the pilot is that they must be FAA certified, be a national EAA member($40), complete a Youth Protection Course and submit to a criminal background check. ?The course and the background check are listed on the EAA member profile page. ?There is no additional charge for the course or the background check. ?The background check takes about 7 days. Once everything is completed the EAA offers an additional one million in liability coverage for the pilot when flying the young eagles. The EAA criteria for the airplane is that it is registered with the FAA, is air worthy and has $100,000 in liability insurance for each seat. The EAA organization does not allow co-sponsorship of their Young Eagle events but we can distribute literature to the parents. The young eagle participant receives a brief ground school, ?a free 20 minute ride in an airplane, a certificate of completion, a paper logbook with an entry signed by the pilot, a free 6 month EAA membership, ?access to Sporty¡¯s ground school, $130 towards their first flight lesson and up to $175 reimbursement if they pass the FAA written exam. Thank you very much for your interest in our EAA Young Eagles program. ??If any of your instructors are interested in setting up an EAA Chapter please let me know and we can do a presentation on the process of setting up a chapter. Lupita A. Wisener, Vice President EAA Chapter 1475 903-569-1929 |
