In order for us to present an entertaining and SAFE show, we have a few hard and fast rules that we must operate by:
- There must be no vehicular or personnel traffic of any kind in our presentation area during our performances.
- If the show is at an airport, the airport must be closed to all air traffic during the time of our performance. If this is not possible, there must be a radio operator to alert the show team when to land and give right away to full-scale pilots.
- A 100-foot safety line/barrier must be provided to maintain a separation between the spectators and our flying area.
- A minimum of 400 by 50 feet of level low grass or asphalt area is needed for a runway. An asphalt runway is needed for our jets. We need a flight box area of 1000 feet cubed to perform. No static displays, etc. can be within 300 feet of this flight box area on three sides (opposite, left, and right sides of the flight box).
- We need to know if there will be pyrotechnics or fireworks during the event. Will they be loaded during our performance? If so, we will need to work the details with your Fire Marshal.
- The site must be at least 5 miles from any active or separately controlled airport or model-flying site. There cannot be a 72MHz frequency band operating at the site. An on sight inspection must be done if this is not known.
- Upon arrival, the team manager must inspect the site (if other than a flying site), run a frequency test, and discuss a layout for the show before a final commitment can be made. In most cases, an on site inspection can be performed before the show date(s) to determine if the site is safe and flight worthy. There needs to be a pilots meeting with the show host at least before the first show.
