Andy Jackson Airpark Needs Your Help

Alan Crouse — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 23:27:42 -0500

After years of working with the developer, and some helpful modifications along the way, the Draft Environmental Impact Review is out for the proposed development next door. There are still houses planned right in the approach. According to the review that would have "no significant impact". I suppose that's correct if you don't count hitting a house on your downwind.

Public comment runs through Sept 15 and we would like to ask each of you to write a letter of comment and help preserve our site. We've drafted some sample letters, but they're just a start point. Write of how the site affects you; your first flight, the times you've spent here, the international reputation of Andy Jackson. Please ask the city to keep homes out of the approach and have the airspace dedicated to the Department of Water Resources. They own the land we lease for the LZ and are tied to us through the licensing of the Devil's Canyon project.

CSUSB Campus Wind

TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE
-----------------------------------------

A graph of CSUSB Campus Weather (1/2 mile south of AJ Airpark) is available in a temporary page. The color scheme is the same as that for the Simba weather station graph.

The graph data comes from a huge file provided by CSUSB, so it takes a few seconds for our server to load the file and extract the data. I've been working with the CSUSB admin to speed the process up.

CliffHanger Ride at S.B. County Fair

Sort of an attempt at simulating hang gliding, it would seem.
Pretty serious wing loading...

People fly Crestline seven days a week, weather permitting, so it is usually easy to get site information and a ride up the hill. This website's Pilot's Forum is a good means of getting current information, if you can plan in advance or have web access while here. There are a few flight schools which operate nearly every day and they are good sources of information for visiting pilots and for obtaining day memberships and sign-offs if needed. We have an online weather station and webcam installed near the Crestline launch and also have a Windtalker installed at the Crestline 'Top Town' intersection which provide wind information to pilots considering a trip to Crestline; winds between WSW and ESE and under 25 MPH indicate that it is launchable. Visiting pilots who are unfamiliar with the area are strongly advised to contact locals before going up to fly.
