Default RE: AMA question

Ultra lights and powered parachutes are what we are dealing with here. The owner and maybe a couple of other guys are all that use that runway. The flying conditions are not going to change . It's just that now it will be recognized by the FAA as an airport. We have been flying there a while and have had no problems yet. When we see another aircraft we get on the ground and out of the way. Sometimes Doc will land and chat awhile, most times he just waves and keeps going. It is not a problem to fly with them. Since the fellowship is 75% of the fun we don't fly alone and a spotter is on hand. I have been on the AMA site for the last couple of hours and haven't found anything other than having permission from the airport operater and a spotter on hand when closer than 3 miles to an airport and under aproximately 400 ft from ground
