Les activités de vol extérieur de WIMAC sont suspendues jusqu'à ce que nous connaissions le résultat de notre demande d'exemption des règlements applicables du parc municipal.
En conséquence, nous avons suspendu le traitement de toute demande d’adhésion de nouveaux membres ou de renouvellement de WIMAC jusqu'à nouvel ordre. Des activités de vol intérieur sont prévues pour la saison hivernale 2023/24 et les tarifs pour les personnes intéressées seront annoncés en temps utile.
Plus de détails sont disponibles pour les membres WIMAC ici.
______________
WIMAC outdoor activities are suspended until we know the outcome of our application for exemption from applicable City Park bylaws.
As a result of this we have suspended the processing of any new/rejoining WIMAC member applications for outdoor flying until further notice. Indoor flying activities are planned for the 2023/24 winter season and fees for those interested will be announced in due course.
More details are available for WIMAC members here.

De plus, piloter avec FirstPersonView est de plus en plus populaire.
Dans l'etat actuel des choses, notre terrain exterieur actuel POURRAIT ne plus etre disponible dans le futur. Nous envisageons toutes les options, y compris parler a la ville de Montreal pour rester sur notre terrain existant. Pour les mises a jour en cours, pour les non-membres, voir CE FIL DU FORUM .

----------------------------
WIMAC is an organization located on the West Island of Montreal that exists solely to provide its members the means to enjoy the exciting hobby of flying all types of model aircraft, including radio-controlled airplanes, helicopters, drones and sailplanes. Also, flying using FirstPersonView is becoming more popular.
As things stand, our current outdoor field MAY no longer be available sometime in the future. We are looking at all options, including talking to the City of Montreal to stay at our existing field. For ongoing updates see THIS FORUM THREAD . (For members: HERE)

WIMAC membership forms and accepted methods of payment can be found under Application Forms section of the website. New members should read the Beginner's Information article to (re-)familiarize yourself with the hobby. For those just starting, we have dedicated volunteer Instructors who will provide you with free instruction on flying your aircraft. For more information, please read our Flight Training Policy.
A club initiation fee of $50.00 is required for first-time memberships (excluding juniors) and a signed WIMAC application form (waiver) must be submitted with payment. See Application Forms page for details.
Note that WIMAC will not accept cash or forward cheques on your behalf that are intended for MAAC membership. You must submit these payments directly to MAAC.
MAAC Membership
Please do not forget that you are REQUIRED to have an active MAAC membership in good standing for any indoor or outdoor WIMAC sanctioned activities, particularly so while operating a model aircraft.
Appel
Dans un souci de sécurité, veuillez prendre le temps d'annoncer votre intention d'aller sur le terrain. Voler seul peut être dangereux et est déconseillé dans notre club.
Procédures d'accès aux champs
La porte doit être fermée en tout temps en raison du fait que des gens ont déversé sur la propriété derrière le parking et la ville oblige l'école à payer pour le nettoyage. Par conséquent, fermez la porte après votre entrée et après votre départ.
Élimination des déchets
Vous êtes responsable de tous les déchets que vous apportez sur le terrain. Veuillez ne laisser aucun désordre derrière pour que les autres s'en occupent.
Coupe de pelouse
Tous les avions doivent être immobilisés pendant que la pelouse est coupée et ne faites pas attendre le gars jusqu'à ce que vous ayez terminé de voler. Il n'est pas payé à l'heure. S'il perd son temps, cela pourrait entraîner des frais de coupe plus élevés pour le club. Cela devrait être évident, mais ce n'est apparemment pas le cas.
_______________________ Roll Call
In the interests of safety, please take the time to announce your intentions to go to the field. Flying alone can be dangerous and is discouraged at our club.
Field Access Procedures
The gate is to be kept closed at all times due to the fact that people have been dumping on the property behind the parking lot and the city is forcing the school to pay for the clean-up. Therefore, close the gate after you come in as well as after you... [Read More]

===========================
A group of FPV flyers composed by Andrew, Tarek and Peter got together to draw the rules regulating FPV flying. They have been approved by the Directors.
======================================
WIMAC FPV Rules
1. General
1. The following rules govern all First Person View (FPV) flight operations at WIMAC.
2. FPV is defined to mean any flight in which the pilot controls the aircraft (airplane, helicopter, multi-rotor, or other) through other than direct view of the aircraft from the ground. Typically this means that an image from an on-board camera is viewed on a monitor or through a helmet mounted display (HMD).
2. MAAC FPV Rules
1. All FPV pilots should become aware of the MAAC FPV rules (available on the MAAC web site). Note that these rules are part of the MAAC safety code, adherence to which is mandatory.
2. WIMAC rules supplement the MAAC rules, and explain how they are implemented in the WIMAC environment.
3. FPV Qualifications
1. All FPV flyers shall adhere to these rules and demonstrate their flying proficiency in order to be qualified for FPV flight by a WIMAC-approved authority.
2. Separate qualifications are required for airplane, multirotor, and heli FPV.
3. Airplane pilots must be qualified “Solo” flyers.
4. No-fly Zones and Pilot Stations
1. All pilots shall ensure that they remain clear of any houses or people, even if the area is within visual range.
2. All WIMAC rules regarding airplane and heli pilot stations, flying areas and no-fly areas shall be respected.
5. Spotter
1. As required by the MAAC FPV rules, all pilots flying FPV shall be accompanied by a spotter at all times, and the spotter must maintain direct visual contact at all times. No flying beyond visual range is permitted. ... [Read More]
