Summary
Dedicated, sanctioned AMA flying site. Open to RC planes, helicopters, and drones. Pilots must maintain active AMA membership, an FAA registration, and follow strict club flight-line safety boundaries.
Welcome to the primary dedicated RC airfield in the SLO area! Unlike public parks, this spot is tailor-made for RC aviation, but it operates under specific club safety bylaws:
- CLUB & AMA MEMBERSHIP: This field is leased and managed by SLO Flyers Inc. To use the runway and facilities regularly, you must be a club member or a registered guest flying with a member. Active Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) membership is strictly required for insurance purposes.
- PILOT REQUIREMENTS: All pilots must have their current FAA Registration number clearly marked on their aircraft and carry proof of their FAA TRUST certificate.
- AIRSPACE STATUS: The airfield sits under uncontrolled Class G airspace up to 700 feet. It is well clear of the SBP airport surface bubble, meaning NO daily LAANC app unlocks or coordinate requests are required to take off.
- FIELD SAFETY RULES:
- No flying over the active pit area, parking lot, or neighboring Cuesta College facilities/sports fields.
- Gas and electric models are welcome, but be mindful of the club's specific flight line boundaries to protect onlookers.
- Guests are allowed but must be accompanied by a member in good standing and adhere to the club's guest flight policies.
