Jersey Sky Devils Club Safety Rules |
(Printer Friendly Version) |
|
|
All A.M.A. and F.C.C. regulations apply and have precedent over any club rules.
Current A.M.A. Membership is required to fly at our field, whether you are a club member or a guest.
All club members are responsible for safety and enforcement of safety rules.
An adequate frequency control system will be used at all times. Channel Identification numbers are required on all transmitters operated at the field.
The frequency pin system will be in effect at all times. You must have the correct frequency pin on your transmitter before you turn it on. No exceptions! Please return the pin as soon as you have finished flying.
27 MHz and limited range 2.4 GHz flight control will be allowed for aircraft weighing less than 2 pounds.
No one should be on the main field, except to retrieve an aircraft.
Landing aircraft have the right of way. Emergency landings have priority. Verbal warning of your intentions must be announced to alert other flyers (i.e. yelling "DEAD STICK!"). Verbal warnings must also be announced before retrieving an aircraft.
Aircraft in our near the pits must be actively restrained and face the exhaust and prop blast away from the pit area.
There will be NO taxiing in the pit areas. All engines will be shut down at the front of the flight line and transported back to the pits.
There will be absolutely NO flying over the pits, parking area, and/or spectators' areas. Every effort should be made to avoid the F.A.A. directional omni beacon, the main North/South Runway and hangars of the main airport. All Full-Scale air traffic around the field will have right of way.
No break-in running of engines during active flying.
Inexperienced members may not fly unless assisted by a qualified instructor.
It is each member's responsibility to clean up any trash, broken props, aircraft debris, cigarette butts, etc. before leaving the field.
No vehicles permitted on the field or any part of the airport runways.
No untethered pets or unsupervised children are allowed at the field.
There will be no fuel-powered flying before 9:00 AM on any day.
All fuel powered aircraft must comply with all A.M.A. designated noise guidelines.
No alcoholic beverages of any kind may be consumed during active flying.
Any pilots choosing to use the North/South runway must make all takeoffs and landings from a flight line position next to that runway.
Pilot Training: The secretary will maintain a list of active, certified instructors. At the start of training, the instructor will make use of the "Buddy Box" system. When the instructor feels his/her student is competent in safely flying an aircraft, the instructor, at his discretion, may discontinue "Buddy Box" use. When the student has flown "solo" the instructor will sign his/her membership card, thus making him/her a qualified pilot. The club will award a solo certificate at the next monthly club meeting.
New members who are experienced pilots may be required by the safety committee to demonstrate their flying skill.
Each transmitter must display channel number identification in addition to the pin identification.
It is strongly recommended that members do not fly alone.
Children are not permitted beyond the spectator area unless under the direct supervision of an adult.
Flight operations will stop during electrical storms.
Only pilots and assistants are allowed on the flight line.
Mufflers are required on all fuel powered models. Use of a "flow-through" muffler is prohibited.
The A.M.A. Safety Code will be displayed when the field is open for flying.
Fliers operating models must display current A.M.A. membership cards for easy identification.
Post emergency numbers:
Hospital 911
Police: 911
Flight operations are allowed from designated pilot stations only .
During congested flying conditions (eg, more than 4 aircraft airborne and in the pattern), pilots should fly the established "race track" pattern, either to the left or to the right, depending on wind direction
It is highly recommended that all field charging of batteries should be carefully monitored.
A Low-throttle Safety Cut is required on any airplane weighing 10 lbs. or more and having a wingspan of 80" and over (monoplane) or 60" and over (biplane).
Helicopters must be started in the hover area , not at the flight line or the pits. Helicopters are not to be run up in the pits
Helicopters are not to be flown in or from the pits.
Helicopters will be hovered in the hover area, which is defined as the area of the field from the pin box to the back fence and west. (Map Forthcoming)
Helicopters are not to be run up in the pits.
