General Rules
1. All pilots must be AMA members and must comply with the AMA safety code and the CAM field rules as posted at the field.
2. All CAM members are responsible for ensuring safe activities at the field and shall point out any unsafe activities to the offending pilot.
3. All pilots and spectators must fly and conduct themselves in a safe and courteous manner at all times.
4. Spectators are always welcome and must remain behind the fence in the Ramada and picnic table areas unless accompanied by an AMA member pilot.
5. At no time shall an aircraft be flown at the Ramada or spectator areas.
Fixed Wing Aircraft
1. Pilots must fly their aircraft from behind the pilot fence., The pilot fence is approximately 40 feet west of the pit area retaining wall.
2. Aircraft are never to be taken off, flown or landed in the pit (east) side of the pilot fence. The flight line is 25 feet in front of (west) of the pilot fence and extends right and left to the perimeter fences and to infinity vertically.
3. Pilots must announce their intention to take off, land, do a touch-and-go, perform a low pass over the field and clear when the runway has been vacated. Announcements must be loud enough for both pilots and spectators to hear.
4. Pilots must announce themselves when passing behind other pilots at the pilot fence with a powered-on aircraft.
5. Aircraft must never be taxied toward people.
6. Deadstick landing and aircraft in trouble shall be loudly announced (“Deadstick”) and shall have the right-of-way to the flight pattern and runway.
7. Turns to final approach for landing at the north end of the field shall be made beyond the north perimeter fence. Aircraft smaller than 24 inch wingspan are exempt from this rule.
8. No engine restarts on the runway. No exceptions.
9. No more than 5 aircraft shall be flown at a time. This excludes gliders flown outside of the flight pattern.
10. When other aircraft are flying or other pilots are waiting to fly, 3D or aerobatic flying shall be done west of the runway boundary.
11. The flight pattern is a right to left circuit following the prevailing wind direction. If there is a shift in the wind direction, the pilot shall announce his intention to reverse the flight pattern.
Glider rules
1. Glider launches shall be made from the pilot line westward away from the pit area.
2. After launching a glider from the pilot line fence, the pilot may fly from the spectator area if the aircraft is beyond the flight pattern.
3. When departing or approaching the field area, gliders shall follow the flight pattern.
Rotary aircraft
1. The concrete pad north of the pit area is available for rotary aircraft launch and landing. Rotary aircraft must otherwise comply with all fixed-wing aircraft rules.
