RCSMP - RC Society Of Marine Park 1 | RC Flying Field Weather

Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Brooklyn, NY, decoded from the nearest reporting station KJFK, 7 nm away: wind, gusts, visibility, and an RC flyability read before you drive to the field.

The club describes an asphalt flying surface. The runway orientation (18/36) is confirmed by the club and drives the live crosswind meter on this page. The site is an FAA-Recognized Identification Area (FRIA), where eligible members can fly without Remote ID broadcast equipment. Its FAA fixed-site agreement altitude is 400 ft AGL, an agreement value, not an airspace clearance. Published field hours: Daylight hours 7 days a week. 12 other AMA fields sit within 50 miles.
