Field Setup
Instructions
All members should make
themselves familiar with these field setup instructions,
particularly in relation to prohibited areas and 'No-Fly'
zones.
This field layout is part of our Code
Of Conduct. It shows no fly zones (outlined by dotted red
lines) and is also meant as a guide for those members that
assist in laying out the field on flying days. The
positioning of cone perimeter markers, signs and the
windsock etc. are all indicated, and usually they are always
in the same locations.
Our main variables are where the
bungee launchers and flight line rope are located, because
of wind direction. The long bungee is usually deployed in
the northwest/southeast direction. The short bungee is used
for southwest/northeast winds. Depending on the launch
direction, the flight line rope is then located so that
pilots can move behind the line easily after launching their
model. In most instances, the rope is placed near the pit
area.
Please note:
The no fly zones for our field
(outlined by dotted red lines above) must be adhered to at
all times. Members should familiarise themselves with MAAA
Manual of Procedures Rule 14 (MOP014)
regarding the no fly zones and the 30 meter rule. These are
on the MAAA
web site.
