Pilot Information


Pilot Safety Regulations

 

ALL PILOTS MUST HAVE VALID MODEL FLYING INSURANCE

Please note that due to BMFA/CAA guidelines we will be following a 'no proof - no fly' policy at all ModelAir events.

All pilots wishing to fly on the r/c line must book in to the Transmitter Control and show proof of insurance and 'A' Certificate (vintage models) or 'B' Certificate (all other model types).

An aircraft safety check will be carried out on all r/c models.

Free Flighters are expected to observe basic safety considerations regarding personal safety, other pilots and spectators, and weight:power ratio.

LOST MODELS - Please note that if a free flight model lands in one of the farm fields adjacent to the airfield, you should inform Transmitter Control. You should not try to retrieve your model. One of the ModelAir team will attempt to retrieve models from the fields at the end of the flying day. This procedure has been agreed between The Shuttleworth management and the farmer and forms part of the agreement under which ModelAir runs weekend flying events. Please be advised that ignoring this requirement will lead to losing the airfield for free flight flying. We would appreciate it if you will kindly respect this and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

ModelAir hope you enjoy your visits to Old Warden Airfield for the ModelAir weekend flying events. We hope you will come back again and bring your friends with you!
