The club maintains a set of published rules, approved by the Board , that govern the flying activity and field security.

New members are given a copy when they join our club. All club members receive a new copy each time revisions are published.

The Club Rules are in addition to the AMA Safety Code. Where there is a conflict, the AMA Rules take precedent.

Field Security rules are intended to preserve our privilege to use the facilities provided by Sarasota County.

Flight Safety rules are intended to prevent injury or death to our members or visitors to the field.

All fliers must have a current AMA membership card, and comply with all Club and AMA rules.

Inexperienced new members and inexperienced visitors must fly on a Buddy Box with an instructor or experienced member.

Student pilots must pass a club standardized exam, both oral and flight. This test is conducted by a qualified instructor or officer of the club. When completed, a Solo certificate is issued. For the safety of everyone, any pilot flying solo must be able to adequately control his plane.

There is no taxiing in the pits. Maximum of (4) planes fly at one time. No flying over the pits or parking areas. High speed passes must be at least 75 feet  away from the flight line. All pilots should fly from our (4) protected pilot boxes

There are special rules and exceptions for Electric powered and Hi-Start gliders. There are also special rules and restrictions on Fan Jet and Turbo Jet powered aircraft.

Field courtesy makes a more enjoyable flying experience for all members. We ask that you share you frequency when another flier is on your channel. Do not to fly when another pilot is taking a test flight, or flying a new plane for the first time.

Fliers that fail to conduct themselves in a courteous manner, or in accordance
with the rules may be suspended or expelled at
the discretion of the Board.

All fliers should be safety conscious, and use good common sense and courtesy, when flying at our flier-friendly field.

This is a brief summary
of the actual rules,
and should not be relied
upon as authentic or
complete. Only the
official Club Rules
and AMA Rules are
what govern.
