June/July 2025 Pictures from the Field. Thanks to Gary Jones for these pictures.

Out with the Old in with the New!

After years of faithful service, our John Deere F915 mower has finally reached the end of its life cycle. With club funds and some anonymous donations a new mower has been purchased!

The new mower is an eXmark E-Series zero-turn with a Kohler 24hp 747ci engine and 60-inch deck. Below are pictures of the old mower, new mower and the freshly cut grass at the field!

New Ceiling Limit for the Air Field!

The max altitude limit has been raised from 400 ft to 700 ft!

ARC Safety Office Gary Jones has posted the Letter of Authorization that allows our flight operations to increase from our 400 Foot Limit now to 700 Feet. This is especially great for our glider pilots and those with larger aircraft. The letter has been posted to the Club Bulletin Board at the field.

Aircraft without a RFID receiver must fly within a FRIA boundary.

Angelo RC is now a FRIA Approved Site!

Thanks to Gary Jones for getting the application approved!

What is FRIA?

A FRIA is a defined geographic area where drones or UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) can be flown without Remote ID equipment. Both the drone and the pilot must be located within the FRIA’s boundaries throughout the operation. In addition, the pilot of the drone must be able to see it at all times throughout the duration of the flight.

Note: If a drone is equipped with Standard Remote ID, it may not be disabled or shut off while flying in a FRIA.

All aircraft over .55 lbs or 250 grams must have a FAA registration number attached to the frame, even if within the FRIA boundary.

A map of FRIA approved sites can be viewed at this link:
