CSA Operations at OCGP

The Colorado Soaring Association has been running their soaring operations at Owl Canyon Gliderport since the early 1990s. The soaring operations at OCGP are completely run and managed by CSA members. Over this time the club has developed and documented rules and procedures which help keep our operation running in a safe and efficient manner. Members need to read these rules and procedures often to keep current on CSA and OCGP operations.

Here you will find the CSA rules that govern flying operations at OCGP as well as other operations documents:

• CSA Flight Rules - Rules for flying CSA sailplanes (and other aircraft) at OCGP and other locations.
• OCGP Operations Procedures - Procedures for operating sailplanes and other aircraft at OCGP.
• Winch Operation Procedures - Rules and procedures for sailplane winch operations at OCGP.

Additional information regarding conducting safe an efficient operations at OGCP is found at:

• What to Know as a Member - A guide which summarizes what all CSA members should know about the club and OCGP.

• G.O.D. - CSA member Ground Operations Director procedures and manual.

These documents are not set in stone. If you see room for improvement to enhance safety, training or efficiency, please bring your ideas and feedback up with the Safety Committee, Instructors or the Board of Directors. You and all the rest of the members are the club and we all need to strive to keep our operation safe and efficient.
