Retford MFC promotes and encourages its members to enrol in the BMFA Achievement Scheme.
The BMFA scheme is run on a national level, it’s open to all RC model flyers, and it’s free. The aim of the scheme is to encourage RC model flyers to improve their standard of flying and safety, and to prove that standard to an examiner. Retford MFC can call on a number of BMFA qualified examiners operating throughout the Midland Area.
The scheme is not primarily about permitting or licensing but, fundamentally is all about personal goals and challenges. It is intended to provide every RC flyer with something to aspire to and aim for, should they so wish.
Achievement Awards are available at the A-Test (basic) and B-Test (advanced) levels, and these cover a wide variety of disciplines. Specialist C-Test certificate endorsements are also available to B-Test certificate holders. For further details of the BMFA’s Achievement Scheme, go to https://achievements.bmfa.uk.
Like many other RC clubs, it’s mandatory for Retford MFC members to hold an A-Certificate before being offered full membership, so, for those wanting to join our club, and if you don’t yet hold an A-Certificate, we offer full training and also have examiners on hand. For those wanting to achieve their B-Certificate, then training is also on hand at Retford MFC, and we’ll encourage you all the way… and here’s how to go about it.
Have a look at the drop down menus at the side of Achievement Scheme and select the certificate you wish to go for. On that page, you can download the flying schedule you need to learn, there are links to the mandatory questions, very useful YouTube videos, and an online webinar given by the BMFA.
However, the Achievement Scheme is all very well and good, but if you’ve never flown before, the starting point is, of course, learning to fly so, first of all, click on How to Get Started.
