NCR Club Launch

Pawnee Grasslands - North Site

Saturday September 14th, 2002

Launch Summary

Conditions were ripe for John Wilke's assault on the J-Impulse altitude record and he made a beautiful flight of the "Slump Buster" on a J135 to 12,802 feet AGL. James King joined us and made a successful Level 1 certification flight. Conway Stevens rejoined us and made two great K (a K1100 and a K550) flights.

Weather Conditions

A nearly perfect weather day. Temps in the high 70's, not a cloud in the sky and only a light breeze blowing most of the day

All launch events will be conducted using nationally approved/accepted range safety practices. The launching of rockets on NFS land is normally prohibited under a Forest Service Region 2 fire regulation. The issuance of NCR’s permit allows launches to take place by exempting the Holder from that regulation for approved launch events only. All launches, other than those conducted by the Holder during approved launch events, are outside the scope of this permit and are prohibited by Forest Service regulations.
