All,

My name is Mathew Dowling with the U.S. Secret Service – Airspace Security Branch. I received your Model Aircraft Club contact information from the http://www.modelaircraft.org/clubsearch.aspx website.

I'm sending this email in regards to a VIP visit to the Greenville, SC area on Monday 10/16/17.

For this visit, the FAA has issued a NOTAM (Notice to Airman) in regards to a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM (EDT) on Monday. This may further be confirmed on their official website at www.tfr.faa.gov .


The TFR does not allow the operation of UAVs, R/C aircraft, model rocketry, etc. during the time the TFR is in effect.

Please assist me by reaching out to your club members, and any other known RC Clubs in the Greenville area I may have missed, by advising them of the TFR.

Please see the attached flyer and feel free to print it out, make copies, and distribute as you see fit. Also, if your club has a page or any other social media outlet, please post the information to advise other flyers. I have attached a copy of the NOTAM and graphic regarding the TFR and NOTAM.

I appreciate your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions, please contact me at the number below.



Respectfully,

SA Mathew Dowling

Everyone,

The National Guard air defense unit in Easley, is asking for RC pilots, and Full Scale pilots to help in a training exercise they are having on April 9th and 10th.
They will be using a non-invasive infra-red tracking system for this training.

http://www.army-technology.com/projects/avenger/

RC pilots are invited to the training site shown below. There will be a roped off area for a landing strip 50'x200' (see the last screenshot). The grass should be cut short for takeoffs and landings.
By looking at the pictures of the site, it looks like there are trees in the way. It is a little close, but when I went to the site it appears less like a problem. For one thing the site is on the TOP of a mountain.
Most of the trees in the flying area are below eye height. We will be standing mostly above the tree tops. The view from this site is spectacular. Since we are above the tree heights, you have an unimpeded view of the mountain range to the north, and back to Greenville. Straight north is Caesars Head and Table Rock. If you follow the landing strip to the bottom right, Greenville downtown is clear in the distance.

Full Scale pilots are asked to fly along Hwy 11 along the mountains, and to and from Greenville.
Anyone interested can contact me (864) 304-4602 or the Easley National Guard armory Lt. Andrew Case.
