    Unfortunately, it wasnt put forth as a decision for individuals to make.

    It was presented as an order, Its too bad that the BOD didnt determine it to be overreaching especially considering there are 2 so called loyers on the board. Unfortunately, there may be uninformed pilots out there who may not know that the CSS BOD does not holds the authority to impose such a restriction, regardless of how much sense it makes to Jerome.

    Now, had this supposed proposition been put forth as voluntary action, I’d bet there would be virtually 100 percent compliance.  However, that wasnt the case.

    Upon whose authority?  CSS? TFR boundaries are plain as day. USFS has no control over the airspace.

    Voluntary compliance is the most anyone can request. As far as mandating?

    Nope.

    Ah, Yes. The heady long gone days of can and do.

    Adios Mentone Launch.

    Need to suggest night flights for freight carriers exiting on 6. Landings on 24 should only be when SW surface winds are exceeding 20kts on strong NE days, a policy option they were throwing around couple years back, and daytime exits on 6 during strong NE days.

    REI’s frontman,  Ted Gablin, already made one. Havent checked the accuracy though.

    We all got to know Ted from the “race to the brewery” day back in 2019.

    It doesnt specify  residents of any specific area. So, i read it to include any and all. Cant read their minds, only what is written.

    Use of USFS lands is what is what is covered by the order. Use of FS lands for launching gliders along with all other uses except accessing private property, are prohibited due to the fact that the launch, or the activity occurs on FS land.

    The order covers only FS property noted in Ex. A, not private property and definitely not airspace.
    <p style=”text-align: left;”>Just sayin. In case the crime and punishment  loyer POleece types start  thinking that seeing a glider in the sky constitutes proof of violating the order.</p>
