1. Hours of flying 8:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M., seven days per week.

2. All flyers must be members of AMA and must be able to produce for inspection at any time a current AMA membership card and R/C Bees membership card.

3. Channel frequency number flags are required on all transmitters. The channel frequency board must be used whenever three or more flyers are present.

4. Current RC Bees membership card (or photocopy thereof) must be used on the frequency board. This will be strictly enforced.

5. Only one card is allowed to be in a channel frequency slot at a time.

6. Mufflers are required on all powered aircraft of 0.10 c.i. displacement and larger. Aircraft must meet Santa Cruz County Noise Ordinance requirements (85db @ 50 feet).

7. No flying over pit area, or behind the pits over the river. If seaplanes are to be flown the fixed gear runway will be closed, giving time for seaplane flying. It is recommended that flyers have spotters alongside them to assist in identifying and calling out landing and taking-off aircraft.

8. No low flying over runway or levee area. when people are on the levee adjacent to the flying field. At those times all aircraft already in the air must maintain a minimum altitude of 100 feet, and no takeoffs will be allowed. Landings will only be allowed in cases of emergency (e.g. dead-sticks). Routinely check the levee before landing.

9. No more than five aircraft in the air at one time. This may be modified for special controlled events such as pylon racing.

10. Motors must be started with the propeller slipstream turned away from other aircraft.

11. The landing pilot has the right of way over any pilot taking off.

12. Pilots must call out takeoffs and landings to other pilots on the flight line.

13. All pilots must stay in the pit areas, which are 30 feet apart, to minimize radio interference, and in line with or behind the safety fence for pilot safety. You must not turn on a transmitter unless your RC Bees membership card is in the correct channel frequency slot, and you are in a pit area, or at the engine test stand. Only one transmitter may be switched on in any individual pit area at a time.

14. Don't walk or run across the runway to locate or retrieve downed aircraft when anyone else is landing or taking off, and announce your intentions first.

15. Don't litter. Take out all of your trash, and keep the area clean.

16. No engine break-in or prolonged engine running in the pit area. Use the test stand area located at the gate end of the field. No engine running is allowed at any time in the spectator area. The spectator area is defined as the area between the orange safety fence and the river. The pit area comprises the six access areas between the safety fence and the runway.

17. No flying of aircraft over Thurwachter Road or within 250 feet of the house.

18. No flying of reciprocating-engine or turbine-powered aircraft at field when five or more workers are in the three adjacent fields on our side of the river. The three adjacent fields are defined as the one directly opposite our runway and the ones on either side. The northwest side boundary shall be the dirt road halfway between the river and West Beach Road. Over-riding this requirement is that there will be no flying if so requested by farm owners or their employees. In these circumstances, limited flying is permitted by helicopters and electric-powered park flyers. For helicopters flights should be contained within the region between the levee and the river, and the west end of the runway and the club outhouse. Altitudes should be kept as low as practical. Park flyers should follow AMA recommendations which are as follows: aircraft weigh two pounds or less, electric- or rubber band-powered and incapable of speeds greater than 60 m.p.h., with no flying within 250 feet of people, vehicles or property. It is therefore important that we are aware of where workers might be at all times.

19. Retrieve stalled aircraft as quickly as possible from the runway. Announce your intentions to walk on the runway to others on the flight line. If the engine is running, but the aircraft cannot be moved remotely, stop the engine manually before returning with it to the pits. Do not restart an aircraft on the runway.

20. When retrieving downed aircraft from the field area, two persons only are allowed; they should walk between rows to protect crops.

21. When bringing or picking up aircraft and equipment from the pit area, no auto will pass the first pit area.

22. Last person leaving the field will see that the frequency board and other materials are stowed in the storage compartment, and that both gates and the locks of the outhouse and storage compartment are locked.

23. Close and lock the first gate whenever entering and leaving.

24. Take-off and landing will be performed generally from right to left. The presence of trees at the ocean end of the runway implies that landing patterns have to be conducted by flying towards the pits if landing from left to right, which is intrinsically more dangerous than when flying from right to left. Consequently, crosswind take-offs and landings should be practiced in the right-to-left mode. Only if the wind direction is substantially off shore shall flying be conducted in a left-to-right landing and take-off mode. In either case, agreement shall be reached by all flyers present on the direction in which the runway should be used, and all flyers must abide by this consensus. It is not acceptable to land in one direction and take-off in another, nor is it acceptable to fly contrary to the agreed consensus direction. Traffic pattern is never over the river.

25. Don't drive motor vehicles on the runway at any time.

26. All transmitters must be 1991 certified per AMA guidelines.
