• Do not taxi in the pit area. (You may taxi out and in if you are at the ends of the runway)

• Do not fly west of the runway (This means a line for the whole length of the property North to South)

• The pit area is for pilots and guests accompanied by the pilots only.

• Start all aircraft engines with the nose of the aircraft pointing towards the runway or into the wind but never to the WEST.

• Be sure other pilots and spectators are clear of the propeller arc before starting engines.

• Prolonged full throttle tests of the engines should be done on the flight line or to the west of the restrooms if breaking in an engine.

• Announce to those on the flight line your intentions to approach the runway (e.g. "On the field!"), take off (e.g. "Taking off!") or land (e.g. "Landing!"). Also announce when you are clear of the runway (e.g. "Clear!"). When your engine malfunctions and you need to make an emergency landing announce dead stick (e.g. "Dead Stick!").

• Any pilot who declares they are "Dead Stick!" has the right of way. All pilots should clear the runway immediately, and any landing approach that can be safely aborted should be done.

• Glider and hand-launched aircraft must take off from the flight line / runway area, preferably from the north or south ends.

• Do not fly over or near the houses located on the south or north ends of our property boundaries. Do not fly west of the runway at any time. There is a house in the woods to the east of the runway, so avoid flying over the woods to the east.

• Each pilot should use the stations that have been positioned between the protective fences on the flight line. This permits only 3 planes in the air at any time.
