New Tejas RC Association Air Field in San Juan, TX

Airfield Rules and Regs

Flying site must be kept clean of rubbish and trash.  Trash is to be placed in containers or taken home when leaving site. All flying of aircraft is restricted to current members of AMA and their guests.  A Tejas member must be on the premises when guests are flying.  Guests that are flying must be members of AMA. It is the responsibility of any members to make sure guests have a current AMA card. Pilots must fly from a marked pilot’s station. A frequency board is provided for control of all radio frequencies including 2.4 ghz. Flyer must place AMA Card into slot prior to removing pin.  If there is no pin and no AMA card in the slot, do NOT turn transmitter on until pin is found. A check of all transmitters must be conducted in order to be sure one is not on. Anyone not following this procedure may be held responsible for  replacement of an aircraft that has crashed due to a violation of this rule.  Flying alone is permitted but not recommended. The pilot can be injured with no one available for assistance or emergency care.  Each pilot must have a spotter when more than one pilot is flying.   Spotter or pilot must make an announcement when retrieving an aircraft on the runway. Beginners must have a member with a buddy box assisting them. Pit area is not be used for starting aircraft or running and adjusting engines.  To do so may cause dirt and debris to be blowing into other pilots.  If radio should fail someone could be injured.  Use common courtesy. Breaking in and adjusting an engine should be done in a designated area. Spectators and non-flying guests are welcome, but must stay out of the pits, pilot stations, and runway.  To do so can void insurance coverage. Pets must on leash and not permitted in pits or around aircraft.  Dog owners are responsible for cleaning up after their dogs.   All take-offs and landings must be done into the prevailing wind.  The flight pattern must be upwind with turns in one direction in order to maintain a racetrack pattern. This will insure that flying will be done in a uniform manner avoiding mid-air crashes. Landings and takeoffs should always be announced  and dead stick landings have priority. No hand launching except from the runway. Pilot must announce such intention prior to launch and immediately clear runway. No off-road, dirt bikes or other wheeled vehicles allowed on the runway. Tejas RC is a family oriented club. Foul language should not be used, especially when spectators and children can overhear it. The lease agreement requires the site gate to be locked all times when not being used by a Tejas member.  The last member leaving the field must lock the gate and no guests can remain on the flying site.
