Foreign pilots (including Canadians) must hold a current USHPA membership in addition to a membership in RVHPA to fly from Woodrat Mountain.
Having the USHPA membership is important because it provides you with liability insurance for any damage you might do to someone’s property. It is also important because our landowners are not insured against claim by injured parties if the pilot is not a USHPA member.
If you are not a USHPA member you may purchase a 30 day membership from one of the local instructors. It’s easy…
Just present your IPPI card issued by your country’s free flight governing body to one of the local instructors, complete the 30 day application with the instructor, and sign the waiver on the back side. The instructor will give you the temporary membership portion of the form and mail the completed form to USHPA.
Typical fee for purchasing this membership from USHPA through the instructor is $10 USD.
