The Rosamond Skypark
is a privately-owned and operated residential skypark located in Southern
California's Antelope Valley (AKA "Aerospace Valley"). Our FAA designator is
L00 (Lima-Zero-Zero) and our airport is open for public use. This website is
operated by the Rosamond Skypark Association as a service to our owner/members.
We also provide many items of interest to pilots and the general public.

For owners of historic aircraft, exhibit certification sign-offs are available.

More Aviation stuff moving to the Internet FAA MedXPress - Fill out your medical app on-line: Medical applications can be filled out on-line rather than at your AME's office. Go to https://medxpress.faa.gov File Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) Reports On-Line: Just browse to http://asrs.arc.nasa.gov/, click on "Electronic Report Submission" and follow the instructions. CALLBACK No Longer Mailed: The publication will now be available only "on line" (click the logo at top to see the latest issue). You can be notified by e-mail whenever a new issue is available, CLICK HERE to sign up. This is a publication every pilot should read; and it's entertaining as well as educational! FAA Flight Standards On Line: "The Bible" for FAA inspectors is on-line and available to the public, go to to http://fsims.faa.gov/ Lots of information for pilots/operators of aircraft. Example: For ramp check standards an inspector will use, navigate to Areas of Interest>Surveillance>Air Operators 91>Conduct a Part 91 Ramp Inspection eAPIS: Don't forget it is now mandatory to first apply for and receive "security clearance" for takeoff from Homeland Security for each flight departing (as well as arriving) "our" country via your private aircraft. This is entirely separate from the previously (and still) required Customs notifications & FAA flight plan, and can ONLY be done electronically via computer, see https://eapis.cbp.dhs.gov .
AIRPORT SAFETY: Communicate! In some ways, safe operations from uncontrolled fields like ours are more demanding than operations at a busy tower airport. These incidents reported in NASA's "Callback" publication make for a great read. CLICK HERE and HERE to view a couple of issues on the subject (if you don't already read Callback, you should sign up for email notification!). Webmaster's suggestion: A major component in every one of these tales is a "failure to communicate" by radio. ALWAYS take three or four seconds during taxi or at run-up to momentarily disable the squelch on your radio & make sure you hear something! Its a good habit to do the same thing when you switch radios during flight, too. You will be surprised at how many times you will discover volume down or a switch mis-positioned, even when it is an aircraft only you fly.
MISCELLANY CORNER - Humor, possibly interesting pix, stuff that doesn't fit elsewhere has been swept into our miscellany corner for de-cluttering and safekeeping. SAMPLE: About the Origin of those romantic shooting stars
Other Stuff:
AFSS Briefing Tips: With the consolidation of flight service stations comes a major change in how you get a "local" specialist on the phone. Dialing the familiar "800-WX-BRIEF" (800-992-7433) is still the first step, but to insure you are routed to the proper specialist for your area you will need to enter the proper state code. AOPA has a downloadable QUICK REFERENCE CARD that lists the proper state codes plus some Tips & Techniques that might speed the process. AUTO GAS & OLD WIVES: A while back a conversation came up about the use of auto gas in aircraft, which prompted the creation of this posting. If you are interested in the subject, CLICK HERE to view the page. Peek Into History: A gentleman named Paul Freeman has developed a site devoted to obscure and vanished airstrips, including a number of strips in our immediate area. Particularly check out his pages on the Palmdale-Rosamond area and around Mojave. I am sure he would welcome additional info, pictures or map data on these or other "old time" strips....certainly we have plenty!
