Posted: Thu May 07, 2020 8:37 pmMembers,
RCMB Field is open effective immediately. Please see new guidelines below that have been approved by the Board of Directors. Attached is a pdf copy for your files.
Thanks,

RCMB TEMPORARY FLYING RULESEffective May 7th 2020 Until Further Notice
The following rules are guidelines which RCMB Board of Directors strongly recommends members follow. These rules are not enforceable and carry no penalty. Therefore, please do not confront members at the field unless your safety/personal space (6 feet) is threatened. Politely ask offending members to step back in that case. The BoD anticipates your cooperation as a club member in the interest of your safety and that of your fellow fliers.
1. Effective immediately the flying field is re-opened for normal flight operations, subject to the guidelines of the State of MD, that is, no more than 10 persons may congregate, maintain social distancing of at least six feet, cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing, etc. Masks are optional but certainly may be worn at your discretion. Masks must be worn in the clubhouse.
2. Due to the 10 person limit, the BoD is restricting usage to members only (please refrain from bringing guests) and training of new students is suspended at this time.
3. On WEEKENDS, members with EVEN AMA numbers may fly on SATURDAY only. Members with ODD AMA numbers may fly on SUNDAY only. If you arrive at the field and you see 10 cars, ask fellow members if anyone expects to leave soon. Conversely, if you have been at the field for several hours, consider yielding your spot to the new arrival. Otherwise, you should leave the field or remain in your car until someone leaves.
NOTE: It’s OK to fly on your non-assigned weekend day as long as there are 10 or less members present. You should yield your spot if the situation changes.
4. WEEKDAYS, all members may fly. However, if you arrive at the field and you see 10 cars, ask fellow members if anyone expects to leave soon. Conversely, if you have been at the field for several hours, consider yielding your spot to the new arrival. Otherwise, you should leave the field or remain in your car until someone leaves.
5. Most importantly, individuals in very high risk categories as defined by the government should seriously consider NOT coming to the field at all, and certainly not on busy weekends. Your safety is your responsibility, so choose wisely and be conservative. Above all, if you are sick with any symptoms, please DO NOT come to the field.
NOTE: These Guidelines may be modified as appropriate and as the situation changes. We look forward to getting back to larger gatherings but that may be a while yet. Please have fun and Stay Safe!
