Field rules

Know the field before you fly it

Every member agrees to these. They keep the circuit predictable, the neighbours on side, and the landing area clear.

The circuit is an example only. Its side changes with the wind, so follow the briefing on the day.

AIR In the circuit

  • Give other pilots room on approach, and use a left-hand approach when you can.
  • Don't descend inside the circuit while it's active. Lose height above the field, but leave it at a height that keeps you clear of gliders already in the circuit.
  • Fly a structured approach where possible, so other pilots and instructors on the ground can read your intentions.
  • Keep vertical and horizontal separation that suits the conditions and your aircraft, and stay aware of what's around you.

NBR Neighbours

  • Don't fly low over neighbouring properties, and never do manoeuvres over them.
  • Only practise acro over the forestry block, or somewhere a reserve deployment won't bring you down near buildings or neighbours.
  • Launch only from places and in conditions that suit your skill level, where you won't need to land on a neighbour's property.

GND On the ground

  • Secure loose items before launch so nothing can fall from your glider.
  • Clear the landing area straight after you land, and don't ground handle where people are landing.

STU Students

  • Follow your instructor's directions in flight. They can direct any NZHGPA PG1 or PG2 manoeuvre anywhere within GAA755 to keep you safe.
  • Follow your instructor's directions when ground handling, to keep hazards out of the landing area.
