2-5-2025 update
Here in San Diego County, we enjoy year-round flying in varied rural terrain. Note that land use is a privilege not a right at all of our flying locations. Do's and don'ts for launch sites and landing zones change frequently. If you have not flown at a site lately, we encourage you to contact one of the site representatives on the site pages to get current information. All of our flying sites are sensitive to abuse and subject to closure at any time. In many tempting areas, we are not permitted to land; please do not endanger our sites by landing in illegal areas, by flying in an unsafe manner or by being rude to other pilots or the public. In general, exercise caution and consideration with regard to the local population and property. Avoid landing near livestock. Do not climb on fences; instead, go under. Stay on roads. Never damage or destroy property. Be unobtrusive and leave quickly if landing out in undesignated areas.
Below is a listing or some of our SDHGPA Land Use Agreements and Permits that are only extended to current SDHGPA Members in good standing. Other Site Use Agreements and updates, not posted on this page, are via meetings, non formal documents, multiple letters, or as gentlemen’s agreements and Owners / Agencies agreements are reflective of Site Protocols and information contained in the Sites Guide.

California Civil Code SECTION 846
(Recreational Use Immunity) When Flying XC or other, it is a good idea to carry a copy of the the California Civil Code SECTION 846 (Recreational Use Immunity). We use this as our first step in negotiating land use for recreational purposes. Note that this Civil Code does not grant use, but rather just states that Landowners are not held liable for recreational use or access if granted.
