What To Bring To The RPA Event
Besides a great attitude...

All RPA events, from All Red Star in the West, Oliver in the North, Georgetown in the East, to Waycross in the South are a great time for any RPA member or potential member.

If you are heading to the event, here is what you should consider bringing with you:

• A check book! The RPA events are free to register for, but each has a small event fee to cover costs.
• Your airmens certificate, medical, and experiemental aircraft documents - we don't inspect, but lets carry them in case the local FSDO has a need to (it's never happened, and you most likely will not see them at an RPA event unless its co-located with an airshow)
• If you are involved in Formation flying at an RPA event, please bring and wear a flight suit! Although you can wear street clothes to an RPA event/Clinic, you will find that just about everyone has a flight suit on when around the ramp at RPA events. Just put "flight suit sales" in google and you will get a ton of hits. For information on Nomex and improved fire retardent materials, see "Safety Bulletins" under the Communiciation secion.
• If you will have an RPA instructor on board providing FAST or Tactical formation training, please bring a parachute. The FARS require a parachute for the backseater as our formation flying meets FAR definitions of aerobatic flight - if you don't own two, you can arrange to barrow one if the instructor doesn't have his own.

Aircraft:

• If your aircraft is used in dual seat formation training, these apply:
• Front to rear communication capability (and we aren't talking about "yelling real loud" !
• Rear cockpit radio trasmission capability - so your backseater can transmit if the need arises.
• Aircraft is good working order - now that's a no brainer! - Fly safe!
