Welcome to OCMA
The Field is OPEN!
To help clear any confusion about flight procedure when full scale aircraft are in the area the BoD has authorized the wording change in Tier One Rule "C, d" which reads as follows and takes effect immediately.
d. If there are any full-scale aircraft, fixed wing or rotary, near the lake or on our side of the hills, you must land immediately. The field is then closed for all flight operations, fixed wing or rotary. However, if, and only if, a Field Marshall or Board Member is present, they have the authority to allow flying IF such aircraft is shut down, that is, no motors running, or rotation of rotors or running lights on.
What is required to fly at OCMA 2020 and beyond:
- FAA Registration Card on your person
- FAA Number displayed on your aircraft which you intend to fly
- Wearing your OCMA Membership Badge
Safety Officers, Field Marshals and BoD Officers have the authority to verify. Aircraft not displaying the proper FAA number will not be allowed to fly until they do. We are assuming you all have your AMA information inside your aircraft which has always been required by AMA.
Air space boundaries!
It is extremely important that we all fly within our defined airspace AT ALL TIMES. There have been a number of occasions recently that our aircraft have been observed well outside our boundaries. By that I mean over the river to the north and up the valley well past our eastern boundary. If you have difficulty judging this, please use a spotter. Fly within the tree line to the west and east, use the oak tree across the field as your northern boundary. Using this as your guide, you will be flying inside our agreed airspace. A map of our airspace ison the bulletin board at the field and at the link below.
