Notice:
Aviation is a dangerous activity where injury as well as loss of life may occur. Safety always depends primarily on the skill, judgement, and preparation of the pilot, and nothing contained herein should suggest that any aviation activities are safe, nor grant permission to trespass anywhere. Free flight includes the pilot taking full responsibility for their safety and the safety of crew and onlookers.
“Launch is optional. Landing is not.”
“It’s better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.”
“Airspeed. Altitude. Brains. You need two out of three.”
Our mission:
- Represent local and regional pilots in meetings with local, state, and national entities that may regulate the sport or sites at which it is practiced.
- Educate the general public about the sport of Hang Gliding
- Enforce safe flying procedures.
General Notes:
If, for some inexplicable reason, you find yourself in a tree soon after launch…Think; remain calm; and consider if you and your fellow pilots need help in extricating you and/or your flying machine from the tree tops.
IF YOU DO NOT NEED HELP: Consider calling 911 and informing the dispatcher that “All is well”; No aid is needed; and to please disregard all the frantic emergency calls from wofos who bear witness to your predicament.
With half a century of experience behind us, pilots are much more experienced than the local rescue squads for expediting your extraction.
