Radio Control
As in years past, we will start lines beginning at a location near the Welcome Center on a first come-first served basis. When that row is filled, an orange cone will be placed at the end of a line and another line will be started. On Friday, at 5:00 pm the horn will sound!
Guests will be released in the order they arrived (i.e. first line formed will be first line released, then the next line and so on until all are released).
Please note that any PILOTS, TEAM PILOTS and VENDOR PILOTS are considered guests and like all others, they must wait in line
For Joe Nall and Nall in the Fall please, No flying before Friday 5:00 p.m.
No, in the past, waiting guests have walked “over the hill” and “staked out” spots to “reserve” them so that they are held and available when they are released. This practice has included Main Line tents as well as camping spots.
We will have “fairness” volunteers that will monitor the property. Anyone “staking out” an area or erecting any Flight Line tent in advance of the horn will be asked to remove it. If the owner can’t be found after a reasonable search, the “stake out” marker or tent will be removed by Triple Tree.
As a general rule (except where allowed on the electric line) no campers or toy haulers (campers which have living quarters in one section and a trailer in the other) will be allowed on the flight lines. Also, the number of camping tents along the flight line has increased to the point we need to make some changes. There will be signs posted in the flight line tent area, “Tent Camping on this side only” and “No Tent Camping on this side” these signs will be spaced away from the center of the flight lines.
Classic (Main) Line
Fly a normal racetrack pattern. Basic aerobatics are ok. NO 3D flying
3d Line
There will be a safety line painted in front of the flight stations. Keep all 3D maneuvers beyond this painted line. No high energy maneuvers with aircraft headed towards flight line or spectators.
Float Flying
Fly only from flight stations. Individual sand beach flight stations and a dock are provided. Rescue boat is available. Do not overfly campers. Stay over the lake.
Heli Line
Fly only from flight stations. Remain within your flight box.
Electric Line
This rapidly expanding area is the new favorite and is designed to accommodate electric park flyers and slower, smaller electrics (less than 80” wingspan). Flying style is open to pilot discretion.
We are asking that there are only two people per flight station. One pilot and One Spotter. The spotters job is to be a spotter and not to take pictures of your flight.
If you would like to have shots of your flight please coordinate with the flightline boss. This is for your safety!
Yes. The Special Rule for Model Aircraft, which is part of the 2012 FAA Modernization and Reform Act, allows AMA members to operate model aircraft over 55 lbs as long as they are operating in accordance with AMA’s Large Model Aircraft safety program. AMA members can also fly turbine jets provided the operator holds a current AMA Turbine Waiver.
The FPV flight line will be behind 3D next to the river. All FPV flying will be done at this flight line. No camera drones allowed at any other flight lines.
If you crash or see a crash, make a mental note of where you where standing and where you last saw the model reference some landmark (tree, just to the left of the tower, etc.). With this info, the Triple Tree Crash Crew can usually retrieve it. Yes, we do have a cherry picker truck for accessible, low hanging tree landings and a boat for lake retrieval.
PLEASE DO NOT GO INTO THE ADJACENT PROPERTY TO RETRIEVE AIRCRAFT.
This is PRIVATE PROPERTY and we have select volunteers who are graciously allowed on their property. Please help us stay in good graces with our neighbors.
Triple Tree is not an enforcement agency. It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure regulatory compliance with the operation of their airplane.
General Aviation
7000ft by 400ft. extremely smooth grass. Think golf course! (remember during events our advisory is in effect which will reduce the length of the runway)
4000ft by 200ft. We suggest you come look at the lake before attempting to land there. You can call Rob Traynham ahead of your arrival for specifics at (864) 640-6573(864) 640-6573
There is a link on this site here, detailing the suggested arrival procedures.
No. We do have a professionally manned, restored military control tower but use it in an advisory only capacity during select General Aviation events. You can ( and we suggest you do) contact the advisory tower (See Arrival Suggestions) by radio on 122.9 when you enter the area.
Yes, the people who run our advisory tower are current air traffic controllers that act in an advisory capacity.
We have trained people who will guide you to your parking location and assist you with anything you need upon arrival. After exiting the runway please switch your radio to 123.9 to talk with the ground control personnel.
No, but everyone must pay an admission fee at either the welcome center or pilots lounge.
No, we do not sell fuel. However, we do have 100LL for emergency only.
We have plenty of parking spaces for your vehicle. For everyone’s safety, we have designated parking areas for vehicles and airplane.
–>Click here for our General Aviation map for parking/camping<–
To request landing permission outside of our scheduled events, we ask that you email info@tta.aero a minimum of 72 hours in advance and receive a positive response. (No response means we did not give permission)
We are a private airport and have volunteers working in and around the runway environment. Also, autonomous mowing happens often.
Also, we ae sorry but we are unable to accept landings from flight schools. Our runway needs to rest and recover between events so it can be at its peak beauty for our events.
