Hill Country Aeromodelers Flying and Safety Rules 2010

All AMA safety rules and Mary Moore Searight Park Rules apply.

Preface:

This document provides the guidelines and rules necessary to establish a safe and fun flying environment. Safety is every member’s business and members are encouraged to politely point out any safety problems to other club members (after they land if they are flying). The HCAM Board of Directors and Officers have the final responsibility for the enforcement of these safety rules.

1. PILOT QUALIFICATIONS AND CLUB MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS

A. AMA Requirements: All pilots flying at the field must be current members of AMA with the exception of persons on an introductory flight on a “Buddy Box” and only then if an AMA Intro Pilot is in control of the aircraft.

B. Pilot Requirements: To fly at HCAM facilities you must be a soloed pilot or a student pilot under the direct supervision of an HCAM soloed pilot. A student pilot may not conduct any flight or moving ground operations unless under the direct supervision of a soloed pilot.

C. Student pilots and solo requirements: All student pilots must be under the supervision of a HCAM soloed pilot while flying. Experienced HCAM soloed pilots may request authorization from any instructor or Director to instruct students on their own aircraft or the student’s aircraft. Only the Safety Coordinator and authorized HCAM instructors may use club owned equipment.

To solo all student pilots will be required to demonstrate he or she has developed the flight skills and understands the safety rules and procedures to the satisfaction of an HCAM Instructor.

D. Experienced Pilots joining HCAM: New HCAM members who have

already soloed elsewhere must review the HCMA safety rules and have a check flight by an authorized HCAM Instructor before flying solo at the field. If an HCAM Instructor is not at the field, a Soloed Pilot may at their discretion, chose to be responsible for the new member pilot temporarily until an HCAM Instructor can provide a formal check flight.

E. Visiting Pilots: Visiting members from neighboring AMA chartered clubs may fly here on a limited basis as a guest of a specific HCAM member. The HCAM member who is acting as host is responsible for the guest’s compliance with HCAM’s flight and safety rules. The HCAM member who is host for the visiting pilot must log in their name and the name and AMA number of the guest and the date and time. The guest may only fly during the time the host is present. Failure for a HCAM host to log the guest is grounds for reprimand. Before flying the guest must put their current AMA membership card in the frequency control board and review the posted safety rules with the HCAM host. The guest log will be available at the bulletin board area in our building and will be published to the membership with the monthly meeting minutes.

2. FLYING HOURS: Flying will not commence before 9:00 A.M. Monday thru Saturday and not before 11:00 A.M. on Sundays and National Holidays. Flight restriction times do not apply to nearly silent aircraft typified by electric powered gliders, and quiet electric planes operating at moderate rpm ( ................
