Peaceful Valley Model Airplane Club - Peaceful Valley Campsite — RC Flying Field Weather

Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Downsville, NY, decoded from KOIC, 38 nm away— the closest station reporting right now, because this field's usual station KMSV has no current report — wind, gusts, visibility, and an RC flyability read before you drive to the field.

The club describes a grass flying surface. The site is an FAA-Recognized Identification Area (FRIA), where eligible members can fly without Remote ID broadcast equipment. 12 other AMA fields sit within 50 miles.

CALM

Great flying weather

Light air suits every model, including park flyers, light foamies, and micro indoor-style aircraft outdoors.

Based on KOIC, 38 nm away — measured at the airport, not the field; conditions at the field may differ. This field's usual station KMSV has no current report, so KOIC 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.
