• WHO you are.
• WHERE you are (radio control model field).

Inform the other members by calling "full scale" when any full scale aircraft is spotted near the field. If flying, drop below 100 feet, land or practice touch and go's until the area is clear. If you believe a violation has occurred, inform one of the club officers as soon as possible. If Security Patrol is dispatched, get the officers name and comply with their instructions.
