Field Closed Nov 14-15th
By now you should have received an email from AMA referring
to a NOTAM for Friday, November 14 and Saturday, November 15. If you have
not, you can find the NOTAM at http://www.faa.gov/news/media/G20%20Advisory.pdf
In summary, model aviation (and other aviation) activities in
the Washington (DCA) airspace are prohibited during the period
November
14, 2008 Beginning at 5:00PM and ending 10:00PM EST November 15, 2008
Beginning at 6:00AM and ending 4:00PM EST
Accordingly, Burnett Field
will be CLOSED during these times. Since sunset occurs before the
prohibition period on Friday, there is no practical effect on that day. On
Saturday, flying is permitted after 4:00pm and before sunset at 4:56pm.
There are NO EXCEPTIONS (Since this is a FAA ruling and out
of our control). The field is CLOSED as described.
Feel free to call me at 703 847 2333 if you have any
questions.
Don Manson
President, NVRC |

Have Permits?
| Have Parking Permits? |
 |
Here are some important items:
VEHICLES AT
BURNETT FIELD: As you may know, our landlord at Burnett Field now
requires that NVRC members display a parking tag when on the Ticonderoga
Tree Farm property. Scott Fuller has prepared a set of parking tags
and will/has placed them in the mailbox at the field. (Thank you
Scott!!) Please take one of these on your next visit to the field
and hang it from your rearview mirror when you are on the TTF
property. (Of course, you’ll not have one on the way in on your next
visit). Be sure to use our private entrance that is about 1000 feet
N.E. of the original entrance.
MEETING PLACE (location change for
next meeting): Our next meeting will be at Burnett Field on
September 18. At this time of year we have normally met indoors
rather than at the field. However, I have been informed by Vienna
Elementary School that we cannot meet in the school because the school
will be hosting a “Parents back to school night.” By that time of
year, it will be starting to get dark during the course of a normal
meeting. It you have some sort of lantern that could be used to
provide illumination during the meeting I would be thankful if you could
bring it.
MEETING PLACE (for the upcoming year): I have been
informed by Vienna Elementary School that the school will be undergoing a
multiyear renovation starting this fall. For the first few months
most of the work will be preparation that is needed before the serious
indoor work begins. By winter, however, much of the school will be
unusable. Although the timing is uncertain, it is likely that we
will not be able to continue our meetings at V.E.S. Compounding this
problem, and the uncertainty about the availability of the school, is the
introduction of a new online reservation system for Fairfax County Public
Schools that will replace the “human touch” system that we are used
to. In short, we should expect that we will quickly need to find a
new place to hold our monthly meetings. Please think about options
that we might consider and be prepared to discuss this at the September
meeting. I can tell you from my experience over the last couple of
years that it will be difficult/impossible to find a location that does
not charge a fee.
NVRC BOARD OF DIRECTORS: It is time to
select new officers and members of the Board of Directors. The
upcoming year should be a relatively easy one for the Board. Please
consider serving your
club. |
