|
| Polo fields are private property and they do not want the liability. Especially for the new pilots, this is an emergency only LZ. We do not have official permisison to land in the practice field either and absolutely DO NOT land where the horses are. The beach is the preferred LZ. | |
Solimar |
|
| Oil Field employees changed the combination lock on the gate and DO NOT want us flying up there. There were some problems with pilots bringing several vehicles and children up to launch. Additionally, a cow got out while the gate was opened and was hit by a car. | |
Skyport Launch Protocol |
|
| If conditions are good, it is best to set up your glider on the side and be ready to lay out and launch. Rather than, doing a line check and getting your gear together while others wait for you. Two pilots should be able to launch one after the other on launch. | |

| Bruce suggested to Bob Hurlbet that they draft together a letter to Thatcher School referencing the protocol and liability covered by USGHA in order to open it up as a potential LZ. | |
