1.
The sod farm
operations take precedence over ALL activities. We use the field at the convenience of the
owner.
2.
All members will
follow ALL instructions from ANY sod farm personnel without
question.
3.
When sod farm
operations are occurring during a flying session it is OUR
responsibility to ensure that we will not interfere with operations. If it is unclear as to what is happening or
where they intend to mow or work try to talk to workers or management and
always move equipment or vacate the premises if necessary. Some workers do not speak very good English
– in that case you must make every effort to avoid conflict or interference
with operations.
4.
Park only in the
designated parking area on the southwest corner of the field. Do not park on grass, dirt or roads.
5.
Avoid setting up on
newly seeded areas or young grassy areas.
The nice grassy areas are better to land on anyway!
6.
Establish a
frequency control pole and tag system! Frequency control is to be in effect at
all times!! All members will post their frequency control tags on the pole and
if there are conflicts, please exercise safety sense as well as share the
flight time.
7.
Parking and pit
areas should be as condensed as possible for the safety of launch and landing.
8.
Establish flight
line areas for winch launch, high start launch, and hand launch that are
separate for the sake of launch, flight & landing safety.
9.
Flying over the
parking/pit areas at less than 30 feet is prohibited. Doing so in competition
WILL result in a zero flight score and during R/R flying a disciplinary action
by the club.
10.
No aerobatics or
speed runs over the parking/pit/Launch/Landing zones.
11.
Do not launch if a
plane is circling in a launch zone: vacate the launch zone as soon as possible
if someone is waiting to launch.
12.
When entering a thermal
occupied by other aircraft, enter in the same direction as the first aircraft
13.
Landing aircraft
have the right of way!
14.
In the event of no
mechanical retriever, please shag your own chute/line for the flight
15.
Please share the
usage of club equipment so that all have equal flight time.
16.
Please be courteous
and helpful to your fellow flyers as well as informative to all
guests/spectators. Enjoy yourself and others!!
17.
Absolutely no
debris or trash is to be left on the field! Please take it home with you for disposal.
18.
Make sure that your
plane and electronics are airworthy before each flight. Exercise good safety
sense in your flight
19.
The aircraft will
have an identification name/address or AMA number on or in the model in case of
loss.
20.
Please tag your
winch/high start spikes or stakes with fluorescent tape so they are easily
spotted on the field by all concerned.
21.
Absolutely no
alcoholic beverages will be consumed, prior to or during participation in any
model event on the flying field.
