All members MUST have a current SAFA membership.

We love having visitors and sharing our sites with other pilots.

To protect our sites, we as a club maintain the sites and the relationship with the owners, council and neighbours. Many of our launch sites and landing zones are on private property and some require some calls to be made before launching.

PRE-CONDITION TO FLYING ANY OF OUR SITES is that you complete a site induction for each site. This will be recorded in the member's list and available to members and safety officers. Please contact one of our safety officers or senior pilots to facilitate this. Please read the site guides.

Please join our club before your first flight (see options below).

Pilots MUST 'check in' to all sites before entering the site.
The 'check-in' links can be found on the notice board and the site guide.

NSWHPA Site Access & Visiting Pilot Guideline

INTERNATIONAL VISITING PILOTS

If you are an international pilot you still require SAFA membership to fly in Australia. Please visit the SAFA International Pilots Page for temporary membership before flying at any of our sites.

The same fees as above apply. Please join as the 1 Month - Visiting Pilot option. DO NOT USE THE NSWHPA Visiting Pilot class and this is only for NSW Pilots who pay an extra $75 levy on top of their SAFA fees for the privilege of flying all sites in NSW.

A full club member must be on-site with any visiting pilot. You will be given a local club rating of PG3 meaning you must be supervised at our sites. This is normally not a big deal and you will still be able to enjoy flying our sites. If you intend on staying in the area for a longer time please contact the club CFI/SSO and arrange a flight check where your rating may be changed.     

PRE-CONDITION TO FLYING ANY OF OUR SITES is that you complete a site induction for each site. This will be recorded in the member's list and available to members and safety officers. Please contact one of our safety officers or senior pilots to facilitate this. Please read the site guides.
