Who is certified to race?
Pilots and alternate pilots certified to race in the Reno National Championship Air Races must have competed in the same racing class in Reno within the past three races or received Race Class Pilot Certification during the Reno Pylon Racing Seminar, including:
- Ground School
- Reno Pylon Race Simulation Flying
- Passing the check ride by the FAA Certified Race Class Check Pilot
Who must attend the Pylon Racing Seminar?
You must attend PRS if you fall into any one of the following categories:
- Never raced at the Reno National Championship Air Races
- Raced in a different race class at the Reno National Championship Air Races
- Not raced in the same race class in Reno within the past three years
PRS is a pilot certification program, not an aircraft qualification period. Although it is recommended, a pilot need not fly the plane he or she will race. However, any aircraft used must be of the same class for which the certification is being sought.
Any registration received after April 13, IF ACCEPTED, will be subject to a late fee of $100.00. Once an entry has been accepted by the Reno Air Racing Association (RARA), there will be a $100.00 processing fee for withdrawals until May 15. Withdrawals between May 16 and May 31 will receive a 50% refund of the registration fee. Withdraws made after May 31, 2018 will not receive a refund.
