Arrival day is Thursday March 23rd. Beginning Friday, a mandatory Safety Briefing will take place at 0800 each day in the open hangar at the west end of the ramp adjacent to the FBO.

All NATA Formation members are welcome. Training will be offered in T-6/SNJ/Harvard, T-28 and Navion as long as enough of each type attend the event. Trainees must review our Formation Training Program before attending this clinic, paying particular attention to their specific aircraft requirements and the associated aircraft “Type Supplement” (formerly “Appendix D”).

Formal clinic training will take place on March 24/25/26 with Monday, March 27 reserved as a practice day for those joining the mass fly-in to Sun ‘n Fun. The group will depart for SNF on Tuesday, March 26th.

A dinner on Saturday night is planned at TBD in Gainesville at 7pm. The cost is included in the registration fee by default, but you may opt out during registration.

NATA will comply with any local, state or federal restrictions related to COVID-19, and may be forced to cancel this event at short notice. In that case, a cancellation fee would not apply; instead, all fees collected would become credits on member accounts. Participants are aware of the risks of COVID-19 infection due to exposure to other people, whether symptomatic or not, and whether direct or indirect. More information is available on the CDC website: www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov. The Hold Harmless agreement that all NATA clinic participants must sign includes acknowledgment and acceptance of these risks.
