Appel
Dans un souci de sécurité, veuillez prendre le temps d'annoncer votre intention d'aller sur le terrain. Voler seul peut être dangereux et est déconseillé dans notre club.
Procédures d'accès aux champs
La porte doit être fermée en tout temps en raison du fait que des gens ont déversé sur la propriété derrière le parking et la ville oblige l'école à payer pour le nettoyage. Par conséquent, fermez la porte après votre entrée et après votre départ.
Élimination des déchets
Vous êtes responsable de tous les déchets que vous apportez sur le terrain. Veuillez ne laisser aucun désordre derrière pour que les autres s'en occupent.
Coupe de pelouse
Tous les avions doivent être immobilisés pendant que la pelouse est coupée et ne faites pas attendre le gars jusqu'à ce que vous ayez terminé de voler. Il n'est pas payé à l'heure. S'il perd son temps, cela pourrait entraîner des frais de coupe plus élevés pour le club. Cela devrait être évident, mais ce n'est apparemment pas le cas.
_______________________ Roll Call
In the interests of safety, please take the time to announce your intentions to go to the field. Flying alone can be dangerous and is discouraged at our club.
Field Access Procedures
The gate is to be kept closed at all times due to the fact that people have been dumping on the property behind the parking lot and the city is forcing the school to pay for the clean-up. Therefore, close the gate after you come in as well as after you... [Read More]

===========================
A group of FPV flyers composed by Andrew, Tarek and Peter got together to draw the rules regulating FPV flying. They have been approved by the Directors.
======================================
WIMAC FPV Rules
1. General
1. The following rules govern all First Person View (FPV) flight operations at WIMAC.
2. FPV is defined to mean any flight in which the pilot controls the aircraft (airplane, helicopter, multi-rotor, or other) through other than direct view of the aircraft from the ground. Typically this means that an image from an on-board camera is viewed on a monitor or through a helmet mounted display (HMD).
2. MAAC FPV Rules
1. All FPV pilots should become aware of the MAAC FPV rules (available on the MAAC web site). Note that these rules are part of the MAAC safety code, adherence to which is mandatory.
2. WIMAC rules supplement the MAAC rules, and explain how they are implemented in the WIMAC environment.
3. FPV Qualifications
1. All FPV flyers shall adhere to these rules and demonstrate their flying proficiency in order to be qualified for FPV flight by a WIMAC-approved authority.
2. Separate qualifications are required for airplane, multirotor, and heli FPV.
3. Airplane pilots must be qualified “Solo” flyers.
4. No-fly Zones and Pilot Stations
1. All pilots shall ensure that they remain clear of any houses or people, even if the area is within visual range.
2. All WIMAC rules regarding airplane and heli pilot stations, flying areas and no-fly areas shall be respected.
5. Spotter
1. As required by the MAAC FPV rules, all pilots flying FPV shall be accompanied by a spotter at all times, and the spotter must maintain direct visual contact at all times. No flying beyond visual range is permitted. ... [Read More]
