Club Rules

Changes to Field Rules

We have a change in the Club Rules, that affects the times allotted to Electric Flight. Flight activity is limited to the operation of Sailplanes and Electric Powered Aircraft. Flight activity has priority over other recreational activities.

Pathways are provided for pedestrian access to the Big Pond Area. Please use them. For your own safety, stay well clear of the launch lines when there is flying activity. Field is available during normal park hours: from 8A.M. to sunset. Mowing takes priority over any flight activity.

Winch launched Sailplanes have priority from 10 A.M. to 3 P.M. Wheeled Electric Planes may be flown when there is no Sailplane activity. There is no time restriction on Non-Wheeled Electrics or Electric Sailplanes. When Electric flight is active, Safety Zones and separation from winch lines is required. See the posted diagrams for these zones. Electric Sailplanes may cross the winch line at or above the normal winch launch height only. Unpowered planes have the right of way over powered craft. Winch or High start launching planes have the right of way over all craft in flight.

All Sailplanes, electric or unpowered, should be operated to ensure that they are within gliding distance of the field boundaries, and well clear of the residence and outbuildings south of Smith Mill (Fairhill School) Road. Operate all other electric planes within the physical boundaries of the field. Powered craft will operate on the same runway and use the same flight line and pattern direction.

No flight activity is sanctioned to the East of Paper Mill Road.

Please read and abide by the AMA Safety Code.
