Thank you to all who showed up to help with the cleanup, painting and maintenance on Thursday, 4/17. All tasks were completed by noon and the field is in excellent shape for this season.

The FAA finally authorized increased ceiling altitudes for UAS flight ops for FRIA fields in Class G airspace. New altitudes limits are the floor of Class E space, which is 700' or 1200', depending on field location. Our field is authorized up to 1200'.

Please note that the minimum manned flight altitude floor is still 500', so it is IMPERATIVE that we all be extremely vigilant in complying with the mandatory Detect and Avoid requirement for all UAS operations. If you intend to fly higher than 400' it is a good idea, though not required, that you have someone spot for you.
