Flying Field


LARKS field has been approved by the FAA as an FAA Recognized Identification Area (FRIA) allowing continued flight operations without need for a 'remote-id' module on board!

The club field is located on the southern end of the Lake County Landfill and supports a 500ft x 45ft Geo-fabric runway that runs east-west with pilots facing north when flying. A permanent shelter was added this year. The current flying site has been graciously provided by the Parks & Recreation Department of Lake County and the Lake County Landfill.
