PowerFest '05
PPC Rally

 Rules for Participation in the PowerFest PPC RALLY  

  1. The Beaumont Airport is a private airport and we are their guests.  We should all respect their neighbors in the town of Beaumont by not flying over the town, and Suzi and I ask that you respect their property while on the premises.
  2. The radio frequency of the airstrip is 122.9.  The grass runway gets lots of weekend G.A. traffic, so be alert.  You should vacate the strip as quickly as possible after landing.  If you have an aviation transceiver, please monitor the airport frequency on both take-off and landing.
  3. We will use one of three air-to-air frequencies in this order – 122.75, 122.85, and 123.45.  If 122.75 has chatter, we will then switch to 122.85, then 123.45.   If all have chatter, then we’ll have to put up with it and switch back to 122.75.  Within a mile of the airport, you should switch back to the airport’s frequency, 122.9.
  4. FRS radios are o.k. for air-to-air communications with your “buddy”.  We suggest you use channel 9-11.  We ask that if you have an aviation radio that you use that instead of the FRS.
  5. It is bow-hunting season for deer.  Bow hunters will be dispersed in the timber under which we are flying.  Please be observant – if you see a vehicle parked near the timber where a car or truck probably shouldn’t be – there’s most likely a deer hunter within a couple of hundred yards of that vehicle.  Don’t fly low in that particular area.  Leave your low flying for the small draws and valleys with sparse trees.
  1. Take your cell phone with you (keep it in a secure place) as well as your GPS.  If you have an emergency, the hotel number is (620) 843-2422.
  1. This weekend is the Kansas Field Trials of hunting dogs between Beaumont and Eureka.  There will be horses, trailers, motor homes, etc. along the creek several miles to the northeast -- so be cautious of them and give them a mile of freedom from us flying over.
  1. Yield right of way to all G.A. planes.  You may taxi your PPC right into town and park it in the hotel parking lot.
  1. We should be able to access the internet from the hotel.  If we can, we will give a weather briefing each morning and evening.  Information may be shared between pilots, but it will be the sole responsibility of each pilot whether or not to fly.
  1. Have fun and keep safety in mind at all times.
  2. The elevation of the airport is 1,617.  It is within the Eureka Low MOA -- the MOA is from 2,500 - 6,000 feet MSL.  We suggest you stay below 2,500 MSL (900 AGL) unless you contact Wichita and make sure the MOA is not active.
  3. By signing this, you are agreeing that you are solely responsible for any accidents or injuries that might occur to you while attending the PPC RALLY or while flying your powered parachute during this event between the dates of, October 13 - 17, 2005.

I have read the text above and agree that I will comply with all of the rules as stated.  I will hold no one else responsible for any injuries or damages that might occur from my flying of my PPC while attending the PowerFest 2005 PPC RALLY in Beaumont, Kansas 10/13/05 – 10/17/05.
