Coachella Valley RC Club 3 — RC Flying Field Weather
Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Thermal, CA, decoded from KPSP, 22 nm away— the closest station reporting right now, because this field's usual station KTRM has no current report — wind, gusts, visibility, and an RC flyability read before you drive to the field.
Its FAA fixed-site agreement altitude is 100 ft AGL — an agreement value, not an airspace clearance. One other AMA field sits within 50 miles.
Poor RC flying conditions
Most clubs stand down in this weather — high winds or active weather make control and landings risky.
Based on KPSP, 22 nm away — measured at the airport, not the field. This field's usual station KTRM has no current report, so KPSP is the closest station reporting now.
⚠️ Weather shown is from the nearest full-scale reporting station, not measured at the field. Not for flight decisions — assess wind and sky conditions on site and follow the AMA Safety Code and your club's field rules.
