Flying Sites

Academy of Model Aeronautics membership is mandatory for all pilots.

Currently the IRKS's have two flying sites, Valkaria Airport, and our Future site on State Road 192.

Valkaria Airport

Our Valkaria Airport flying site is a gated site and is not open to the public.

Due to our flying site being on an active airport there are some flight restrictions.

Once you join the club you must complete an orientation briefing and flight evaluation to fly at our Valkaria Airport site before receiving the lock combination for the gate.

To get checked out at Valkaria contact Ernie LeClair (Safety Officer) eleclairjr@cfl.rr.com or Chris Delaere cdrc1@yahoo.com.
