SLOSA SITE GUIDE

SLOSA Site Guide

San Luis Soaring Assn. (SLOSA) Members fly sites that are very sensitive and we ask that all pilots remain in compliance with the guidelines indicated in the Site Guides. Some sites are only available to us because of extensive negotiation with governmental agencies and private landowners. We have entered into agreements that place accountability on SLOSA so membership is REQUIRED FOR THOSE SITES.

When a site indicates that specific paperwork needs to be filed, that form will be available for print-out. We do not require SLOSA membership to fly many of our sites, but SOME do have that requirement as a condition of our use permit or insurance requirements. If you are new to the area and are asked whether you have met the pre-requisites to flying a particular site, by a SLOSA member, please understand that we are only protecting our sites so they will be available in the future.

Local Sites:
