AMA IP Program
As part of our commitment to the public and the RC hobby, the LVSC offers free instructional flying lessons at the field by appointment. This is a continuing part of our mission of bringing new members to the hobby under the safety and guidance of the Academy of Model Aeronautics Instructor Pilot Program. It also allows us to distribute correct information concerning local and Federal regulations.
Flight lessons are available using personal equipment or through the use of a club trainer and buddy box link so there is no danger of crashing. For more information please fill out the form below and submit. We will return your inquiry as soon as time permits.

LVSC Junior Pilot Program
Founded by Barry M. in 2014, the Junior Program has become an integral part of the LVSC experience. Funds raised throughout the year provide any needed assistance to the youngsters that might otherwise preclude them from participating in the program. Previous students have received everything from batteries and receivers up to full RTF packages at no cost to them or their parents.
Bob, a long time member of the Las Vegas Soaring Club, was an aviation enthusiast extraordinaire. He was a full scale pilot at a very young age, involved in RC and loved getting others involved. He believed that it was important to pass this knowledge and experience along to the younger generation and expose them to aviation of all types.
This program seeks to emulate that enthusiasm for aviation and youth by providing a structured entry program for youngsters up to the age of 18 into the hobby of RC flying.
Students prepare for this experience by completing, along with parental input, a short questionnaire that lays out the learning path for their particular program. Students not only learn how to set goals and achieve them, but also develop social and coordination skills with practical experience alongside other pilots.
Upon completion of the program the instructor signs them off for solo flight in their particular RC category and they are free to be on the flight line with other pilots. Each student is given scheduled, personal time with an AMA instructor that remains with them throughout their club experience.
