IMPORTANT FLIGHTLINE SAFETY INFORMATION!

Safety is Priority Number One!

Enjoying the vast array of display aircraft is one of the leading reasons people come to SUN ‘n FUN. We are pleased to open Flightline access to all our guests. However, the safety of guests AND aircraft is paramount. Many pilots fly their aircraft to SUN ‘n FUN to share the joy of flight with everyone. Please do your part to protect people and aircraft by following the Flightline rules below.

By entering the Flightline area, you agree to follow these important safety rules:

• Aircraft in motion have spinning propellers that can cause serious injuries. Please be aware of this AT ALL TIMES to avoid injury to you and your party.
• Aircraft always have the RIGHT-OF-WAY. Please yield.
• You are always responsible for your safety and the safety of those in your group.
• NO SMOKING is allowed on the Flightline or around display aircraft.
• NO FOOD is permitted on the Flightline (except for airside food vendor locations).
• PETS ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THE CONVENTION SITE including AIRSIDE. (campground only-leashed)
• Please be responsible and courteous around the aircraft.
• Do not touch the aircraft without the owner’s permission.
• Please supervise your children closely so they don’t inadvertently hurt themselves or damage the aircraft.
• Make sure your lawn chairs are attended or they may blow away and cause damage to people or aircraft.
• Please mind your camera, belt buckles and other clothing or accessories when bending over to look at an airplane. These items can damage paint jobs worth thousands of dollars.
• NO SMOKING on the Flightline or around display aircraft.
• BICYCLES ARE NOT ALLOWED ON AIRSIDE AT ANY TIME (BEFORE, DURING OR AFTER CONVENTION HOURS)

If you have the opportunity, please thank the pilots who bring their aircraft to SUN ‘n FUN!

If you have guests driving in to join you, auto parking and ticket sales are now available on the southeast side of the convention site and near most airside aircraft parking/camping locations on the east side of the airport.
