Palm Beach County Flying Boundaries

Palm Beach County has established designated flying boundaries for model aircraft operations at our field. All pilots are required to remain within these approved flight areas at all times.

The accompanying aerial map identifies the approved West and South flying boundaries. Please familiarize yourself with these limits before flying and ensure your aircraft remains within the designated areas throughout your flight.

Adhering to these boundaries is a condition of our Special Use Permit and is essential to maintaining the safe operation of our flying site and our continued privilege to use the facility. Thank you for your cooperation.

Why do we call our West Delray Regional Park flying site the “Westervelt Field?”  

Well, the name acknowledges the generosity of one of the club’s original members, Steve Westervelt.  When the park department agreed to make the land available to the club, they were willing to pave a 400-foot runway.  Steve generously donated the materials, labor force, and funds to install our current 600-foot paved runway, the adjacent 600-foot sod runway with buried irrigation system, the fencing along the runway, and our invaluable "Press Box."  He also helped us acquire two storage containers and golf carts. 

But wait, Steve’s giving didn’t end there.  After we were operating safely and successfully for several years, the park department gave us permission to expand and create our separate helicopter field with the condition that we provide a safety fence around it.  Again, it was Steve that provided and installed the fence. 

Given his many contributions to our club, it seemed only fitting for us to dub PBRCA’s flying site the “Westervelt Field.” 

Thanks again Steve!
