Our club field is on land purchased by the club from the Bureau of Land Management. We have a 500 ft. paved runway with a shaded pit area and a heli pad. Directions below.

MRC (Grass Soccer Field)

Flying at the club field or the SF Municipal Recreation Complex (MRC) under the club’s permit is limited to club members and their accompanied guests. To join the club you must be a member of the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA).

Flying at the MRC is at the soccer field, when it is unoccupied. In addition to an FAA registration number on your aircraft, a certificate of completion of the TRUST test,  and a LAANC clearance, you will need a Remote ID when they are available or after March 16, 2024 to fly at the MRC.

FAA Regulations

Please note that the FAA regulations have changed and you need to use the LAANC – Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability each time you fly at the club field in addition to having a certificate of completion of the TRUST safety test and a FAA registration number on your plane. The club field has FRIA status so you won’t need a Remote ID unit to fly there. Click here for details.
