Ed Levin pilot suspended
by Steve Pittman Chairman, Ed Levin Site Committee
A pilot was recently suspended for three months for instructing at Ed Levin without a current USHPA Instructor appointment. A current USHPA Instructor appointment and authorization as a WOR Instructor are both required to instruct at Ed Levin. Please make sure your USHPA appointment and WOR membership are current before acting as a WOR Observer or WOR Instructor at Ed Levin. The Ed Levin Site Committee hates to suspend people.
Thanks, Steve
