114th RC Aero Squadron

NO FLYING WED 9/9 or THURSDAY 9/10 due to TFR 6/1504 and TFR 6/1505 for Dallas.

Our field is closed from 2:15 PM on Wednesday until Thursday 10:45 pm local time. This is a 35-mile area around Dallas and includes us. It runs from surface to 17,999 feet. We cannot fly due to paragraph G under Operating Restrictions and Requirements.

We are in the big circle per Area A of affected areas. Times are UTC in 24 hour format. You subtract 5 hours to get local Daylight Savings Time.

Effective hours are 1415 hours Wednesday until. 2245 hours Thursday. I found one smaller area showing 2330 hours Thursday but we are not allowed to night fly after civil sunset.

Do not put our FRIA and flying field at risk by trying to fly. Ignorance is no excuse. Our FRIA does NOT allow you to fly during a TFR.

Update: Still working on Weather data

IMPORTANT: To maintain our Lease in good standing. The club no longer provides extension cords or power strips. We CAN NOT have them left on the tables because it will put our lease at risk. If you need a power strip bring it and take it home. If it helps zip tie it to your charger so you don't leave it behind.

You Must Pass the FAA’s TRUST Test to Legally Fly a Drone in the U.S.

All pilots must complete the TRUST test and be able to show proof of passing to an agent of the FAA or law enforcement if prompted. Part 107 pilots only have to take the TRUST test if they are flying outside of a Part 107 rule.

Webmaster Note : I just passed the test while half asleep. Its VERY easy, just remember to download the certificate and save a copy on your phone. Here is link direct to AMAs version of the test Reminder: Please ensure you have your AMA card with you at the field and that your aircraft ALL have the FAA UAS registration on the OUTSIDE of your model. It must be readable.

Also add one of the LAANC approved apps on your phone https://www.faa.gov/uas/programs_partnerships/data_exchange/

LAANC app use not required at field as of 11/16/2019. But having app available for other locations is a good idea.
