Staten Island Modelers - La Tourette Park — RC Flying Field Weather

Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Staten Island, NY, decoded from KEWR, 7 nm away— the closest station reporting right now, because this field's usual station KLDJ 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. Published field hours: 9 a.m. to dusk. 12 other AMA fields sit within 50 miles.

POOR

Poor RC flying conditions

Most clubs stand down in this weather — high winds or active weather make control and landings risky.

Factors: thunderstorms in the area.

Based on KEWR, 7 nm away — measured at the airport, not the field. This field's usual station KLDJ has no current report, so KEWR 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.
