SAFETY
We have canyons northwest of the launch site. Not just rolling hills, actual canyons. Sometimes rockets drift under chute longer than you’d like. If your rocket heads to the tree line, STOP. Get your line of sight. SHOW someone what direction you are heading! If you have a compass and know how to use it – DO. If you know how to drop a pin on your location on a GPS or google maps – DO! Watch your time, know how long you’ve been gone. The longer you are gone the higher the risk. And most important: TAKE WATER!!! Here’s an article with more detail on the canyon area west of the launch site.
Other Hazards and how to minimize your risks:
This list is not all inclusive but we are rocket scientists so use your best judgement to keep yourself and others safe.

Sun: sunscreen, hats, protective clothing, easy-ups, hydration, cooling towels
Dehydration: drinking water, electrolyte drinks such as body armor and Gatorade, AVOID soda, Drink water, cooling towels, if you aren’t visiting the port-a-potties – you aren’t drinking enough
Bugs: bug spray, protective clothing, do not stop and stand on ant hills, look before you pick things up, pay attention to what you might be swatting at.
Animals: 1) There are horses on the land. If you cross paths with them, leave them alone and go about your business. 2) Bears, Mountain Lions and Snakes. Yep, no joke. Please take the canyons seriously. There is food, water, and shelter in the canyons and so wild life wanders down from the hills. Please do not go into the canyon without telling someone, it really is better to team-hike!

If you hear what might be crying, turn and go the opposite direction. Mountain Lions make a noise that is similar to the sound of a small child crying. If it is so unsettling that you aren’t sure, get to safety then call: Park Ranger Hotline: (719) 553-2700 OR 911

DRONES
**DISCLAIMER** Southern Colorado Rocketeers is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged drones. Please read the following rules and restrictions.

Absolutely NO drones over spectators, volunteers, rocketeers, canopies, or vehicles.
All drone activities must be arranged with the club officers prior to launch.
The final safety call will be made by Roaming RSO, Club Officer(s), and the operator of the drone.
The only drone operation that will be considered: A) Before and or after waiver operations within the confines of item one. B) To record a specific flight within the confines of items one, two, and three.
It is the drone pilots responsibility to know and operate within the laws and regulations of the FAA, NAR, TRA, and local ordinances.

Please follow for Updates. Last Update: Sept 10 10:53 AM

If you are bringing someone to attempt a certification or know someone attempting a certification, ask them to put their name on the cert signup sheet.
There are expected to be several TRA and NAR cert attempts this weekend.
Certifiers will go in the order in which rocketeers sign up! NO EXCEPTIONS.
Teachers and Mentors: Please help with enforcing range safety!

We will have a club meeting after the range is shut down and packed up. This will allow as many as many flights as possible before the wind picks up. All members are welcome to attend!
