For 2023, the following rules apply:  Please read this carefully!

1. 2023 renewals will be closed on December 31, 2022, and all renewal applications have to be postmarked by December 31, 2022. Renewal applications postmarked after this date will not be processed. Any member who did not renew in time will be considered a new member and pay the new membership rate of $100 plus the $100 initiation fee for a total of $200. 
2. If you're Joining after July 1st, 2023 you can join for a Pro-Rated fee: New members pay the new membership at the Pro-rated fee of $50 plus the $100 initiation fee for a total of $150.
3. You Must have an AMA Open Membership valid from the date of application through Dec 31, 2023.  If your membership expires on any date prior to Dec 31, 2023, you will need to contact AMA to add a yearly renewal that extends your expiration date past Dec 31, 2023.  
4. Park Pilot Program Memberships are not accepted at the PVMAC, it must be a current full open AMA membership.
5. All members are required to provide a paper copy of their FAA registration with their membership application. The date must not be expired at the time of renewal.
6. Any membership application received without the correct payment amount included will be returned to the sender. Renewals are contingent upon you sending the correct application, proof of valid AMA Membership through Dec 31, 2023, proof of current FAA registration, and payment in full mailed and postmarked before December 31, 2022
7. A Fire Extinguisher is required and must be placed in the Pit With you while Flying at the Prado Field.
   View the related PVMAC news posting on fire extinguishers. 
8. All members are required to clip their membership cards on their shirts to be visible to all while flying at the Prado field.   The main reason for this is that it will make it much easier to identify members vs. non-members. Also, the badge will make it easier to remember everyone's name, making it a much friendlier place at the fields.
9. All members are required to mark each aircraft with the assigned unique registration number before it is operated at the PVMAC field, as required by the FAA.
10. It is the responsibility of all members to request the $20 day-use fee from non-members.
