  2. Absolutely NO Flying North of the patio stone flight line. All takeoffs, landings and flying must be South of the  flight line, and at an acceptable distance from the flight line, with the exception of a westerly approach when a flyer will be allowed to cross north of the flight line in a left-hand pattern. 

  3. All takeoffs and landings should be in the same direction (East to West or West to East) into the prevailing wind. If there is no wind, takeoff and landing in a consistent manner shall be maintained by all flyers to prevent midair and ground mishaps.

  4. Call out landings.  Make sure the field is clear before approaching the final leg.

  5. If the engine fails while taxing or during takeoff, retrieve the airplane after making sure the field is clear, and restart in the Pit Area only -  not on the field.

  6. In the event of an emergency such as engine failure, never turn the airplane toward the Pit Area to get back to the field. Turn away from the Pit. Don’t risk bodily injury or property damage to any person or personal property.

  7. When running engines in the Pit Area, direct the exhaust toward the field to prevent dirt and other foreign objects from adversely affecting fellow flyers or spectators.
