Electric Park Flier Rules
  1. All fliers must have AMA Insurance and post it on frequency board (this INCLUDES aircraft flown on 27MHz frequencies)
  2. Pilots MUST stand in individual pilot stations at West edge of field
  3. Maximum of 4 Park Fliers in air at a time
  4. Park fliers are limited to a 2 lb total flying weight and powered by electric motors only
  5. Park fliers MUST limit flying to western 1/3 of field as indicated by white marker posts (see map). No flying over the rest of field is permitted
  6. Pilots may NOT walk directly across electric field when approaching flying stations.  Pilots should walk to the western edge of the field first, then proceed south (or north) to the pilot stations, being aware of other aircraft in the air at all times

Discussion of Park Flier Rules:

Park flier electrics will continue to be permitted to fly at 60-Acres but with restrictions, in the interest of safety. Park fliers will be restricted to flying over the West 1/4 of the field (as designated by white poles and now painted lines on the grass). Additionally, the number of park fliers in the air at one time will be restricted to 4. Additionally, pilots of the 4 aircraft in the air will be required to stand at the 4 new pilot stations (marked by painted squares) located at the far West edge of the field with their backs to the trees. The order of flying will be determined on a first come/first fly basis. Please coordinate with the other park flier pilots and please be considerate. Park fliers should plan to approach the new pilot stations from the West, IE put your AMA card on the board, and then proceed to walk all the way to the west edge of the mowed field, and then head south (or north) along the edge of the mowed area to reach the pilot stations, keeping the other planes that are flying, in sight at all times. Park flier pilots should NEVER walk across the electric area directly to the pilot stations while there are any park fliers in the air. This new field usage is much more in standing with existing AMA rules for power flying and should greatly increase safety at the field.

Park flier electrics will be limited in size to stock aircraft with stock brushed speed 400 electric motor or smaller. These aircraft should fly in a slow/safe manner. The Safety Committee will also be able to make exceptions to this size limit by observing the pilot and aircraft and issuing the pilot and aircraft a SASS sticker that will designate they are allowed to fly this aircraft at 60-Acres. These designations are not transferable from pilot to pilot. Each INDIVIDUAL aircraft and pilot combination will need to be approved by a member of the safety committee. IE if Bob Smith gets an XYZ with an XXX motor approved to fly at the field this DOES NOT mean the Jim Johnson can fly his XYZ with a XXX at 60-Acres! He too will need to receive approval by a safety committee member.

The only other exception to the park flier rules are electric assisted/launched sailplanes. These aircraft are gliders with electric motors which are flown with the intent of climbing to altitude, disengaging the motor and then soaring. These aircraft should NOT be flown close to the ground other than to launch and for landing. They should not be flown low over the field performing aerobatics. High speed electrics (F5B type) aircraft are NOT permitted at 60-Acres. Their speed and size do not safely fit with the 'open field format' of 60-Acres. These aircraft should be flown at a power field such as the Marymoore field.
