FLYING SITE SAFETY NOTICE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hours of flight:<\/strong> \u2013 The club\u2019s planning consent permits flying between the hours of 9am to 9pm, 7 days a week. To fly outside these permitted times would breach our approved planning permissions, potentially leading to our planning consent being revoked by the Council and to us losing our flying site. Please abide strictly by these permitted flying times.<\/p>\n

Running engines in the pits:<\/strong> – It is fine to start your tethered aircraft\u2019s engine in the pits. Make sure it is running then go flying. If you are to do more than that, to avoid disturbing other members for long periods please take your aircraft a good distance behind the pits. Please have the propeller facing away from the pits e.g. at the trees and complete engine checks etc. there.<\/p>\n

Chatting in front of your models:<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0 Good safety practice is for people to congregate and chat behind the model line. If people are stood in front of your model when you intend to start up, please ask them to move away from the front of your model before you start up \u2013 We do not want a propeller hitting anyone!<\/p>\n

Standing position when flying:<\/strong> For safety\u2019s sake, flyers MUST stand to fly their models from the downwind point. This means, if you are taking off towards the carpark then you MUST stand at the opposite end of the flying strip to the carpark.<\/p>\n

First Person View (FPV)<\/strong> \u2013 If you are flying FPV, it is essential that you have a spotter with you to keep a direct line of site on your model at all times.<\/p>\n

Flying:<\/strong> A maximum of 6 aircraft should be in the air at any one time. It may be the case that if larger aircraft are flying then less aircraft should be in the air at the same time.<\/p>\n

Restraining models on start up<\/strong> – All models, whether i\/c powered or electric, MUST be restrained on start-up in the pits.<\/p>\n

The above are captured in our club rules and in the safety information on our club website. For your own, and the safety of those around you, please ensure you abide at all times by these simple practices and club rules. If you have any questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact a Committee Member<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
