For anyone flying out of Blackwater.  We have installed a flight plan board in flight operations. Please write down your name, departure time, destination, and expected return time. Also a phone number that can be called in case of an emergency. Use the eraseable markers provided. Do not use Sharpies! Upon return, please erase all information. 

We are getting complaints from local farmers concerning low level flying over their cow pastures. Please remember to stay 500 feet or higher unless an emergency deems otherwise.  By doing so could be the difference in a helping hand when you're stuck in their field.

 

Among the worst enemies of your ultralight, light sport, or GA aircraft are sunshine, rain, and hail. If you’d like to get yours under a hanger, come out to Blackwater and check ours out. We have a limited number available.
