Vaca Valley Radio Controllers 1 — RC Flying Field Weather
Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Fairfield, CA, decoded from the nearest reporting station KSUU, 3.2 nm away — wind, gusts, visibility, and an RC flyability read before you drive to the field.
The club describes a asphalt flying surface. The runway orientation (06/24) was measured from public aerial imagery 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. 12 other AMA fields sit 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 KSUU, 3.2 nm away — measured at the airport, not the field.
⚠️ 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.
