Country Code

We depend on good relations with the farmers who own the land we fly on. Here are some guidelines to I ensure that they will allow us to continue on their property.

• Always check with local pilots before flying at a new site.
• Always ask owners permission to use a site unless you are absolutely certain that the owner allows use of the site without asking.
• Check again for permission in spring time in case of lambing, etc.
• Ask permission to take any vehicle onto a property. Put all pilots and gliders in one car rather than have a convoy of vehicles crossing the property.
• Do not abuse the landowner if permission is refused.
• Use styles and gates where possible, if you must cross a fence, cross at a post or strainer post (not on battens).
• Drive slowly, especially near stock.
• Leave all gates as you find them.
• Don't land in paddocks containing stock or crops.
• Avoid hay standing or cut unless permission has been given to cross it.
• Never ever light fires.
• Do not disturb plants or machinery; move around it.
• Leave no rubbish.
• Never take dogs onto any farm or property.
