8. Do not take off from pit area. Do not taxi into the pit area. Kill the engine parallel to the edge of the runway in the taxi strip. Carry or pull your aircraft to the pit area.
9. Start engines with the engine facing the runway if possible. Planes should never be started on the spectator side of the safety fence.
10. Spectators will be asked not to cross the safety fence unless accompanied by a club member. Invited guest inside the safety fence should stay inside the designated guest area unless they are helping flyers.
11. If you are using a 72MHZ or 75MHz system, you must conform to the club’s frequency control guidelines. Frequency control is accomplished by a set of" numbered" clothes pins, one for each frequency. Before you turn on your transmitter, you must get the corresponding pin for your frequency, and replace it with your AMA card under the remaining frequency clip and leave it on the board until you return the pin. Do a radio check & other aircraft equipment safety check as required by AMA flying field rules.
12. Everyone is asked to use common courtesy. Don't be an air hog. If another person is already flying, ask that person if he/she cares if you fly at the same time. This is especially important if the first flyer is an instructor with a student.
13. When two or more people are flying, a flight pattern should be established to prevent mid-air collisions.
14. Do not fly from the edge of the runway. Stand behind or beside the flight stations.
15. Low high-speed passes should be made no closer to the flight stations than the center of the runway and preferably at the far edge of the runway.
