Key Points for the Fly-in
  • All Vehicles must display Current 2022 SDHGPA Vehicle ID/ Gate Pass
  • Best to take care of memberships before, otherwise will be signing up on your phone with poor connections . . .
  • Check In and Out at the LZ Table for this event vs calling individually into Tribal Security. (Get your Wrist Bands)
  • Carpool to launch to minimized Cars on launch
  • Main Launch is preferred for this event
  • Keep all access gates locked and closed behind. (2022 Gate Codes)
  • Active Launch Windows: Use mountain etiquette - Only enter the Launch Windows with your gear if and when you are ready and intending to launch hooked in and hang checked/ pre line checked  (set-up and prep including hooking in and hang check in non active window areas.) Be mindful that there will be a lot of pilots on launch. Do not wait for the perfect Cycle, but rather take the 1st good safe cycle. ​

Palomar Main Launch Use Zones
  • No top-landing or fly-troughs before 4pm. We have a lot of people that will be launching and top landing pauses launch during Top landing attempts.
  • Right turn day in front of launch and up the main spine to Robbin's. However, normal thermaling rules take precedence.
  • If in Launch Windows or Top landing Approach areas, be cautious and aware of flight activities in all directions.
  • Do not enter Orchards . . . non-authorized Picking of Fruit is strictly forbidden and illegal.

Post Flying Fall Fiesta:
By popular demand, we will be having a Taco Cart in the LZ.
Main Course (Taco Cart) will be provided by the club however it is also an potluck; so plan to bring a Fiesta worthy appetizer, side dish, salad, fruit, dessert, or drinks you'd like to share throughout the day and post flying (BYOB).

Also Bring out your favorite Yard Games! for post flying fun & socializing: bocce ball, corn hole, ladder toss . . . ​

Cost: 
SDHGPA Members: Free for SDHGPA Members (included as Membership benefit)
Non-flying guest: $10 BBQ/ donation for Taco Cart is appreciated.
​
SDHGPA Membership is required to participate in the Fly-in at Palomar and covers the taco cart as a membership benefit. (Full Annual Membership, or Visiting Pilot membership is valid for this event. For non flying guests, a $10/ person BBQ donation for taco cart is appreciated)

Note that all Cars must have a parking pass in the LZ & Launch (& no parking out on the road).
Please take care of Memberships and print parking passes before driving out if not current.
All memberships are online and easier with a strong connection. . . 
Check Current Membership Status here

Please RSVP ​
Social committee would also like some help from some volunteers to help coordinate food pickup, set up and break down. Also, if you have a Portable BBQ & Table that you would be willing to bring, that would be great. Ideally, we can get these things coordinated by mid day on the Friday before the event so that everything runs as smooth as possible on Saturday.
