Safety at Nichols Park
Safety Considerations When Flying RC Aircraft at Nichols Park
1. Flying should always occur west of the concrete divider at the top of the hill.
2. Spectators and stashed gear at the top of the hill should always be on the east side of that concrete divider.
3. All take-offs , Landings , Low Passes and Walk Ons should be announced loudly by the pilot to alert other pilots and spectators.
4. When landing from the west, plan on stopping several feet in front of the concrete divider.
5. High velocity low passes should be at least 15 feet from the concrete divider.
6. The maximum number of planes in the air , being flown from the top of the hill , should be 4.
7. Before maiden flights and after rebuilding or modifying an aircraft:
…..a. Have a fellow pilot double check the setup and structural integrity of your plane.
…..b. Take off from the bottom of the basin.
8. Fly within the boundaries of Nichols Park.
9. Do not fly over people, houses, automobiles or streets.
