News Updates

Weather station update: We have removed the old weather station and replaced it.  Also removed the old wifi antennas.  We are working on linking the NEW weather station to the website in the header above BUT we are waiting for some updates. For the tech minded or curious, Davis Weather updated the API key from 25 characters to 31 and the system we use doesn’t YET accept 31. Here is a quick interim way to see current weather from new station.

Update:  To maintain our Lease in good standing. The club no longer provides extension cords or power strips.  We CANT 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

Upcoming Events…

A few images of members and guests flying before the March meeting.

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.

if you have wider panoramic type images from the field please send them to webmaster@114thrc.org so we can have some options for background images.
